Ball Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer Burgundy Dial | Overview

[@mr.johnozmon9592]

Ball watches have been on my radar for awhile since I first read one of their reviews on a watch blog a couple of years ago. The one irritating thing about Ball's website, though, is they only show the front view of their watches, which is why I appreciate this video. I had already purchased this watch online a couple of days before I found this video and I can tell you that no picture or video does this watch justice. It's a beautiful watch and high quality. I've owned an Omega Speed Master and currently own a Tag Aquaracer and I would put it up there with them. The movement is also very accurate. I've had the watch for a week now and it's only gained 9 seconds in 7 days of continuous running. I like the bracelet and the butterfly clasp, although like most complaints, I wish it had a micro-adjustment and/or half links.

Absolutely gorgeous watch Josh my Santos-Bro. That Fume Sunray Burgundy dial is so nice

[@arilieberman3547]

Ball makes superb high-quality watches with great horological history

[@TheTownWatch]

100%, Thanks for watching!

Love that fume color dial Josh! So cool of Ball to send this one in to check out. 904L shines differently than the 316L and I hope people give Ball more love that they deserve! I’m gonna rock my white Marvelight iii today now haha! Cheers bro! 😎🍻👍

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@thetimebombardier]

can't help think that without the cyclops it would be superb, that dial sunburst is gorgeous!!

[@punkmanmatthew]

I’m all for the cyclops!

[@thetimebombardier]

@@punkmanmatthew lol yeah my issues with these cyclops, never liked them 😅😅

Bigger watch companys cant cater to the collector demographic because were such a small part of the Market, its a bit like auto and air con in sportscars, cos really they're bought by rich guys not collectors. The two biggest lux watch brands are Tag Hublot and I think No1 in income is Cartier, no watch nerd g.a.f. about the vast majority of these brands output, Cartier gets a pass obvs. Were never gonna win this cyclops thing, just get your watchmaker to take it off. Im even more purist, I say fug the whole date😂

[@uhmerrykan]

@@jamesblonde2271 I agree with you about dates, totally useless. But that cyclops is an absolute eyesore. This watch would be truly gorgeous otherwise.

[@jamesblonde2271]

Not a huge Ball fan but thats a very cool dial, the cyclops is an eysore but 90% of muggles (actual customers ) love them, collector nerds are a small market segment

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching James!

[@johnmonachelli5256]

Nicest Ball I've seen should do very well

[@anonymouswatchguy4223]

Love a good ball

[@Rudmyster]

I have a a ball train master world timer Chronograph and it’s such a beautiful watch with many complications until I’m almost scared to put it on it mostly lives in my automatic winder the feel the look the quality blows away the competition there really isn’t anything that can compleat with it.

[@paulbushjr8335]

I like this and the enterprise....How is the quality comparable to a Tissot or Mido?...Is it that much better in quality.?....

[@TheTownWatch]

Better.

[@garyboyle695]

904L, not so great if you want to keep your watch looking good as it's softer, also it's not so good at taking a finish other than polished.

owned by a Hong Kong companu

[@johnhebert3855]

I love burgundy dial watches, but NOT "fume" dials; they're lame.

[@GadgetyMV]

Definitely looks upmarket and some models are made with 904L steel (Oystersteel in Rlxspeak). However, the Ball watch company is run in a shrewd financial manner. Take orders for new watch models, which as you say are usually limited to 1000 copies, but then don't start production until it's really funded by orders taken. This leads to Ball continually moving the stated date for arrival into the future. This single-handedly prevents me and some of my friends from ordering any of their new models.

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@kingkrimson8771]

I received my 1,000-run day-date Marvelight III about six weeks after ordering, not too long IMO

[@LeuraLad81]

I got mine used within a working week.
