[@TheNextMarx]

That watch is beautiful. I just saw a picture and needed to see a hands on review of it. I'm sold!

[@staffordboy7824]

I have the Ball Hydrocarbon Original 43' in black and it is a superb watch, ball are excellent quality on a par with Rolex, Omega, Tudor etc

[@BushStig]

Congratulations on a beautiful piece! Thank you for making this video, I’ve been waiting for ages for someone to do a hands-on review of this one.

[@michaelkeaton32]

Awesome watch. Absolutely stunning. I have a Ball Engineer III Marvelight, and it rivals the quality of my wife's Rolex. Ball is really an under the radar watch brand. Congrats on the watch!

[@thewatchcrowd8421]

They don't get the recognition they deserve

[@ewhyte8059]

I’ve had the BALL ENGINEER MASTER II PILOT GMT over two years now and I’m still loving it. My only Ball watch as well.You’ve bagged a beauty there.I totally get that moment there ,unboxing and all! Gorgeous bracelet as well.Even if you go on to bigger and better she’s still a keeper.Enjoy.....

[@thewatchcrowd8421]

This is staying in the collection for sure

[@stevepeers224]

Great review.... I've always said Ball punch well above their weight and this video proves it....

[@sabdousert3278]

Thanks for this video and for all details you give

Beautiful piece! Great choice! I love Ball watches!

[@wristwatchdave422]

Another beauty from Ball - Your video shows it off very well. Nice one!

[@bigchiponmyshoulder7573]

Stunning watch my friend

[@arainla]

Beautiful watch!

[@michaeldemarco899]

I own a Marvelight which imho is the best alternative to a Rolex date just. Same steel, same look, solid build. I just picked up this one in the blue and black bezel, and im waiting for it to arrive.

[@mikesteinberg7632]

Congratulations!!! beautiful

[@conoroloughlin8249]

Gorgeous watch mate. I've been looking at this in the pilot how you finding the lug to lug now you've had it a while still happy out? I've skinny wrists think this will be a good buy maybe on a strap looking at the pepsi dial.

[@solanogu]

Very nice watch, besides unboxing and showing it around it would have been nice to show how it works, is it a true GMT? Show how the crown and pushers work. I believe from what I saw that the bezel lum outshines the dial lum.

[@Toogoodtobetrue458]

That’s a beautiful watch love the green bezel. I know it is cheesy but this reminds me of the Green Hornet colors.

[@willspinks2007]

Awesome watch

[@mahmoud7188]

Just gorgeous!

[@dieselten01]

Why are there 6 tick marks between the hour indices? That makes 72 tick marks for a full revolution. You can only accurately set this watch every 5 minutes.

[@thewatchcrowd8421]

Excellent question and something I’d not even noticed These marks are on the 24 chapter ring, so between the 24:00 marker and 2 o’clock in the middles is a knot her highlighted mark this is 1 o’clock These markers are solely for use for setting the GMT I’m going to look in the instruction Manuel to look for a better explanation

[@gregcarnall9097]

Have you still got the watch and whats your thoughts after a year of ownership, im thinking of getting one. Cheers

[@thewatchcrowd8421]

Yes I still have it and it still gets worn a lot

[@knoxharrington666]

hello any problems with the pushers sticking quite far out on the left? e.g. with sleeves?

[@mikesteinberg7632]

QUESTION: the day and date changes with the hour marker or with the gmt marker when both are at different time?

[@TheLeeattwood]

Cool watch

[@scottlindsay5606]

Thoughts? Considering this watch but looks to be too much lug to lug for a 6.5” wrist

[@thechameleon77]

Did you end up getting one? I'm in the same boat. Have 6 3/8" wrist. Seems like most videos people have a bigger wrist and don't comment on if it would be good or not for poeple with skinnier wrist.

[@joemyers9893]

Do the links have screw in pins?

[@gmgmontana4328]

sucha nice watch but the brand is very under rated

[@wrenside]

Ball Watches. i'm a fan. that is all.

[@paullinge4154]

This doesn't have a inhouse movement. But is certainly a lovely piece

[@kevinleighuk]

Yes I noticed that too. It’s a modified Sellita movement.

[@gs2162]

Did this man who runs a watch enthusiast KZbin channel just say deployment instead of deployant?

[@mikecharette9258]

Nice!

[@LIONTAMER3D]

Those aren't "in house" movements btw

Lug to lug?

Great review. Is it t25 or t100?

[@MrSolonwu]

It’s T100.

25

[@johnmoran257]

I own the exact same watch in the same colorway - it's absolutely stunning in person - bought off a picture as well. I love it, it's become my go to GMT and that's my favorite style of watch, It was tough picking which colorway I wanted but I think we made the right choice, my first ball as well- those tubes at night are torches. I got #24 how about you?

[@thewatchcrowd8421]

I nearly opted for a Pepsi bezel as I live that colour way but i’m so pleased I went for this one we both clearly have great taste 👍

[@johnmoran257]

@@thewatchcrowd8421 it's a bit more unique than the Pepsi based on what's normally on gmts and it just looks so good- love the green hands on the black dial. Great video again!

[@KarelKannel]

There is something odd going on with tick marks- this watch has 5 of them between hour indices, makes 72 minutes per hour :), Vanguard has 3 tick marks which makes 48 minute hour, Vanguard II has 4 tick marks, which is right, Marine Pilot has 5 between hour marks. Unfortunately Ball has sometimes forgot funcion over design. Damn, I was considering Marine GMT but now I cannot unsee this oddity. :(

[@michaelansberry8705]

This stuck out to me as well and initially ruined the watch, however, I think this was intentional because it's not a minute track. The ticks on the rehaut are separated by hour marks from 02-24, not minute. With having this many ticks, you can break down each hour into 20-minute sections for the GMT hand (24 hours with 72 marks = 20 minute sections).

[@danwolfe7665]

Yes! I find it really confusing why Ball. Chose to do that with the tick marks. When I glance at my watch I want to know what minute it is as fast as possible. Not have to study it for 10 to 20 seconds to try and figure out what’s going on.

[@LinhTran-gf5yv]

Hi ur wrist size is?

[@miketv218]

Ball watches are all about the tritium tubes. Next time show them off.

[@joemyers9893]

Are the links screw in?

[@kevinleighuk]

Yes. And they are quite stiff to undo!

I have a Pepsi version of this, the only issue is it’s very easy to accidentally hit the gmt pushers all the time.

Lock them in place I’ve never advanced mine either way
