A little retro action from Ball right here. No doubt you are going to start thinking of all the classic watches that Ball looked to for influence when designing the Engineer II Ohio GMT COSC Chronometer watch.

DD2 vs DD40
When it comes to Rolex watches I've always been drawn more towards the professional sports models as opposed to the day date.One of the reasons why I really liked the DD 2 was because it looked more like like a dressy but still sports watch. I think the reason was because of the particular design and dimensions of the case�� That made it look sporty�� But with the day date 40�� That doesn't look sporty�� That lookslike a dress watch.That was one of the reasons why they discontinued the DD2 and replaced with DD40 Because people didn't like the dimensions of the DD2 when compared to DD36?I was just wondering what everybody preferred in terms of a DD40 vs DD2 and Why?
