Great watch but I am a little disappointed with the diameter of this watch specs state 40mm but I’m getting just under 38mm and it just seems small on my wrist.
Very high quality watch, and one of the - relatively - affordable top notch Swiss manufacturers. At this price, an excellent choice for a discreet daily wearer or even beater!
(except the model with the champagne colored dial, ugh!)
I have a Ball Engineer Master II Worldtime and it's easily only 2nd in my collection to my Tag Heuer Grand Carrera. Very solid watches and Ball engineers and designs them well.
No doubt a nice watch, but there's a hell lot of lot competition for watches at this price point,
Can't say this watch would be a top five contender for my next extra, six-hundred big ones.
FullObeans"Better" is such a difficult term to define. We live in time where virtually all watches do what they're supposed to do, and most do more than required.
I really like Ball watches, and still own a couple. I'm not sure about the price, however. A brand new NM2030D recently sold on eBay for $459 shipped, from a very reputable watch seller. From what I've come across searching, $600 is currently a good, but not great, price. Factoring in the no-warranty situation with MD's deal, I'd think twice about the purchase.
cgalnyYes as I type a cosc certified eta movement Tissot with ss band can be purchased on a well know grey market watch web site for under$300 with free shipping.

AkMikesI have it, in the silver dial, and I’m consistently amazed by how much I love it. Runs -2 a day whether on wrist or flat in my watchbox, the 80 hour power reserve is legit and it is my most comfortable watch. Only negative is the inner part of clasp is stamped metal, doesn’t match any other part of the watch.
These are good movements, the Ball RR1103, which is an Elabore grade. From a Ball rep: "Ball calibres start with Top grade movements. Other ETA-based nonchronometers start with Elabore movements. Please keep in mind that the movement is just a starting point. +/- 10 seconds per day before leaving the factory."
