My Favorite Ball Watches At JCK, Big And Lots Of Lume
Ball watches have been really popular that last few years ago and are probably the nicest watches (at least from a price perspective) to feature tritium gas tubes in their watches. All of their watches feature the wonder lume, that is made exclusively by MB Microtec in Switzerland. They are small tubes filled with (safe) radioactive material. Ball watches probably makes the best use out of them versus other companies I know to use the luminant. The best part is that they don't need any light to charge and glow for like 25 years.I am not going to go into much detail when talking about these watches as there are too many of them, and you can get lots of little details about each watch from Ball directly.? Careful though. You might be drawn to tears! Last time I was at their site they started playing Amazing Grace. So I saw these watches last June in Las Vegas at the JCK show. These are my favorite of the Ball watches that I was able to see there. Overall these are some very nice watches

41mm Royal Oak Frosted Gold in White Gold
Good news for those men who've been contemplating to get the Frosted Gold but were deterred by the 37mm size. The Frosted Gold is now available in a 41mm WG case with a blue dial and is limited to 200 pieces.

Thinking about a new acquisition, 5227r vs 5170r
I'm thinking about adding a dress watch to the collection. My current favorites are the 5170r (silvery dial) and the 5227r. I know they are different and at different price points, but they seem comparable. For those that own either (or have opinions about either), what are your pluses and minuses?My current collection includes a Platona, 5712r, 5726/1A, Jumbo and a few other Rolexes. .patek/en/mens-watches...ions/5170R-001.patek/en/mens-watches...rava/5227R-001

Anyone receiving James Cameron deep sea?
So with the new year we've seen lots of LVCs, BLNR, skydwellers, Daytona's and SD43 but I haven't seen any JC incomings!!Am I missing something? Is it really that hated? Or is it true it's being discontinued?I love that watch way more than the SD43 and have been trying to get my hands on one after I passed on one a couple of months ago

Numbers at the bottom of Green Rolex Box
Hello everyone,Can anyone please explain what the numbers at the bottom of the new style green Rolex box mean? I don't think its a model or style number since they are different sometimes even though it is the same size and style box. I also don't think it is a serial number since many boxes do share the same number.Any ideas?Thanks!
