A Robust Diver From Ball With COSC Movement - Engineer Hydrocarbon Original

[@staffordboy7824]

I have this Ball watch in 43" and it is absolutely superb, family & friends have Rolex,Omega, Tudor etc.... and i would not swap it for any of them ! Ball seems to be a very underated brand.

[@fidelmartinez1259]

Hi. I am very interested on this watch but doesn't know if preffer 43 oe 40 mm. Dies it looks big? My wrist is 7.5 inch.

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

Yes, it could use a simpler clasp and less shiny center links, and yes, it’s kinda big, and the crown guard guard is pointless, but DANG this is a good looking watch. Great video, Teddy! Thanks!

[@bodhimeditation108]

The crown guard is not pointless, it lets you know if the crown is fully screwed down before going in the water. If the crown isn’t screwed down then the guard won’t close. Leaving the crown unscrewed is a common mistake with watchowners

[@ctronquillo]

think of it as a much realistic version of whatever U-boat has been releasing

[@bettersteps]

The finishing on that Ball is impeccable.

[@lancelloyd7429]

Whoa the gas tubes are mush less "tube like" than the typical Ball watch. Very cool.

[@TheTownWatch]

This is a very cool, good looking piece from Ball! I enjoyed some hands on time with it and reviewed it myself. It's a rugged piece for sure! I found some edges on the clasp to be quite sharp though.

[@josejr.8671]

breath taking. I love this company!

[@istvantoth7431]

That's a hell of a crown guard. Even bigger than the one on the Hydroconquest.

[@aleksandarmarkovic4992]

Stunning piece.

[@jackdaw3173]

I like this one...but what's with the little fish engraved on he caseback?

[@RagnarHoff]

42mm is my sweet spot for my 20cm wrist. I looked at this for a year now, but i couldn't pull the trigger because i thought the 40mm is including the bezel which gives off a way too small wrist presence. Now that i know the bezel is 42, i might get this at Black friday sale now. WIsh i knew this sooner.

[@mad0uche]

I am a huge sucker for their seconds hands, especially on the arabic numeral blue second hand watches they make.

[@TopQ42863]

Great review Teddy I love this timepiece

[@MuscleAKAOzzy]

Banger of a diver has big presence

[@gennerobootz6490]

I have an omega sea master 300 and a speed master pro and a longines Zulu and a ball skin diver 3. The omega sea master 300 and the ball skin diver 3 are my two favorite all time watches

[@Gumby56]

I have 3 of their watches and am looking for a a fourth.

[@mdunawaym]

I love my Ball Fireman Enterprise. Nice a dressy, and small enough for my dinky wrist.

[@山田浩二-v2m]

Japan the cost of replacing the gas light with a regular store purchase is more than 60,000 with three hands. Is the replacement cost cheap overseas?

[@jaygenz46]

Teddy, I love Ball watches1 I am a fan of the tritium tubes, i guess a cult following type watch. For an everyday banger, I love the value. However, all your prices are at Full MSRP and these watches can be found much lower which is why I turns me off from purchasing from you.

[@priamohernandez3121]

Very nice time piece, but the crown guard doesn't do it for me. Thank you Teddy like always providing us with a great presentation.

[@ludwigjordan]

Longines Hydroconquest or Ball Hydrocarbon? Help me to choose...

[@randyreynolds1045]

Very nice watch❤

[@Ainimeshorts]

first reaction: nice watch!

[@AyuK-jm1qo]

Whats the point of turning the bezel? Wish that could wind the watch

[@wrenside]

Ball watches sit in this commenter's pricing sweet spot and love this piece even with it veering a bit toward over designed. don't care; appreciate the value for money the Ball offers. thanks.

[@9erMatthew]

I'd like to see your take on the Ball Engineer M Pioneer 40mm

[@metal4bld]

Are there any remnants of the Ball watch company left around Cleveland that can be explored?

[@MikeSmith-et2yk]

No

[@williamhill7312]

Great video

[@fossilimprint2954]

Epic watch.

[@siemasiema2989]

I had this Watch in my hand at the store. Scratched already and very sharpedged (but beautiful) clasp. Amazing Watch, f impractical😢😢😢

[@gastonphalange]

Torn between the Original, NEDU or Seamaster. Seamaster has Heritage, History, Resale Value, Style, Brand Recognition Ball has Style and is Unique, but lacks the other things. If I buy a Ball it is to wear it and make most of it and not to re sale like I have done in past

[@j.harbottle8928]

That's a superb watch you'e wearing there, what is it please? I greatly admire your videsos, because of your knowledge, I think is superlative.

[@thechameleon77]

Contemplated getting this for months, but just to big for my wrist. Beautiful watch though.

[@kay_aytee22]

How accurate is this watch?

[@LegioXIII-SPQR]

The word "Chronometer" on the dial means it is officially COSC certified. COSC-certified watches have an average accuracy of -4/+6 seconds per day.

[@jorgegonzalezmata524]

Graet wach and beautiful

[@rafapazos06]

Those crown guards are a deal breaker for me

[@KBD-ONE]

The movement somehow got only 5 seconds of vagueness from you 🤯

[@mattys1467]

Ball watches 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌😍

素晴らしい　欲しいです😅！

[@davidwilliam6551]

EXCELLENT WATCH I WLL BY ME ONE BLL

[@kyleleungrulez]

Why can't they just get a normal scissors clasp. This butterfly one is a real turn-off.

[@WestCoastAce27]

Great review as always. But what an over design - the crown guard alone is a giant fail. Too thick; too wide. Beautiful dial and lume though.

[@waynejohnson3214]

Way too clunky from every angle.

[@litan114]

Please don't buy this. You will regret it. It's super big and like you are wearing a hockey pock on your hand

[@chiane1968]

I have this on a 7” wrist and it’s no big deal. Terrible advice you are peddling. Just because you regret it doesn’t mean others will.
