New Ball Watch Honors 100 Years of New York’s Grand Central Terminal
New York City’s iconic railroad hub, Grand Central Terminal, reaches its Centennial in 2013, and now Ball Watch, a brand indelibly linked to the history of railroading, is releasing a commemorative timepiece specially suited to the Big Apple’s homesick travelers and expats: the Engineer Master II GCT, whose second-time-zone function uses Grand Central Time (GCT) rather than the traditional Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

RO/ROO scratches - inevitable?
Hi fellas,I know there are tonnes of threads of lads complaining how the polished parts of RO's and ROO's are 'scratch magnets' but I did not know it was that bad (although I own AP's :s)Got a brand new ROO 42mm ss recently and I have been wearing very very carefully, no contact with anything etc, but there seems to be some 'hair lines' on the bezel - is it possible that this could have happened due to my clothing?
