Ball Engineer Master II Slide Chronograph Watch, Slipping To The Future
When I first read about the new Ball Engineer Master II Slide Chronograph, I for some reason had the refrain of "Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slippinginto the future" pop into my head. Is this new Ball the future of chronographs? Well, time will tell. For now, though, it definitely is an intriguing iteration.If you were only to look at the dial of the new Ball Engineer Master II Slide Chronograph, you would have no problem identifying it as a chronograph: it has a traditional "tri-compax" layout with the 30-minute register up top, running seconds at 9, 12-hour register at the bottom, and a tachymeter scale around the outside. When you look to the side of the almost 48?mm case and see no pushers surrounding the crownthen you begin to question your assumptions.Slide In Its Neutral PositionOf course, a brand like Ball is not going to play games to give the appearance of a chronograph while actually tucking other functionality in;?so, how do you engage the chronograph?

First AP! True Blue...
I've been hunting for a blue-dialed RO for some time. I really like the 15202, but the cost and availability is not optimal. The 15300 and 15400 are both fantastic pieces, but the 15400 won out in the end.The finishing on this watch is fantastic...so much nicer than on anything else that I've owned. And the dial...oh, that dial! It is magical. It changes colors and the markers have a 3D effect that make them seem to float over the dial at certain angles. I'm also happy I went with the blue. All the dial colors are beautiful, but blue provides me some contrast to all my other black-dialed pieces.This one will be on the wrist for a while.

What do you guys think looks better on my wrist? Rose gold TT with chocolate dial or YG/SS with silver dial?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What are "fat spring bars"?
I need to obtain an aftermarket bracelet and the description of the one I am looking at is for a Submariner with fat spring bars. Are there different type spring bars? My end links are 593 end links on a 168000 Submariner.Additionally, I'd like to get a jubilee bracelet for this same watch. Which style end links will fit the case properly and work with a jubilee bracelet?Thanks.
