Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital II Chronograph Watch
Ball?is no stranger to creating watches tied to modes of transportation. They're most commonly associated with the railroads, as that's where the company got its start over a hundred years ago. What people may not be as familiar with are their ties to aerospace. Ball has been partnered with Brian Binnie (the pilot of Virgin Galactic's SpaceshipOne) for some time now, and have developed features to help watches withstand the shocks of rockets firing.The first development they added to their latest watch, the Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital II, is the Amortiser. This is a ring around the movement to protect it from shocks, as well as providing magnetism resistance. This system also includes a switch on the case back which will lock the rotor in place, preventing it from spinning. Basically with this, if you're going to go do something that you know will generate a lot of shocks (say, launching in a space ship or swinging a hammer) you can prevent the rotor from spinning wildly (

114060 swap with 16710 Pepsi?
Was recently offered a trade for my 114060 mint from Dec 2016, for a year 2000 16710 faded Pepsi with an extra Coke insert. The watch is almost a full set, missing just the warranty card (long past warranty by now), but does have service papers from Nov 2017. Owner says the watch is unpolished, although I have not yet seen it in person. I've never quite been a fan of the Pepsi GMT, but would like to gather the collective opinion on TRF if this is a sane trade? I have two 114060s (one is still BNIB), so this opportunity seemed tempting. Or are there better trades out there?Thank you TRF family.
