Rolex Killer- Ball Engineer III- Marvelight Rainbow

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

I had the 43mm Day-Date Engineer III Legend with my only issue with the watch being the friction butterfly clasp. I remedied that by purchasing the dual pusher style clasp meant for a Tissot bracelet. I also had a Tissot at the time visually comparing and measuring the critical points and they were a perfect match. You just need to decide whether or not you want the pushers to protrude from the sides and how much.

Thanks!

I have the caring edition. I really enjoy it. I use it as a beater. Great quality. And it's super affordable. Don't have to worry about bumps and scrapes and easily replaced if lost.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Awesome choice

Love Ball watches. They've hit another home run with this beauty.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Absolutely

[@stevem863]

I’ve had a Ball watch for years now. Can’t believe they still make the friction fit. It’s not comparable to a Rolex, it’s just not. They are a good brand, but are entry luxury, maybe. Again, I love mine. Still has lume, and I beat it up at work.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Of course they are not comparable really. But Rolex is also entry level luxury

[@dunderhay9169]

I love the colour of that dial 😍 . It's a beautiful watch, I just wish they hadn't put the cyclops on it. If it was mine, I would swap to a strap, reddish brown might look really good.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Yeah, I was going to toss the mocha Chase strap on it soon. Has a reddish tinge in the sun

[@saumanqureshi5017]

Why do people hate the cyclops i dont mind them

[@dunderhay9169]

@@saumanqureshi5017 I used to like them, but one day, I decided the distorted area they create on the dial really annoyed me and I can't unsee it.

[@craign1133]

Love the Engineer III. Ordered an Ice Blue tonight, should be here in 2 days. Can’t wait!! Great review on this underrated watch. I decided on the standard lume rather than the rainbow. Thanks for the review.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Great pic! Congrats on the watch

[@michaelj8793]

I think that you made an excellent choice I'd take this over a date just anyday of the week Totally agree with you on that clasp but that is the only downside for me nothing a decent strap wouldn't cure and I'm pretty sure that you know a guy that sells amazing straps lol Thanks for sharing as always my friend Be well and of course Stay Frosty 👍

[@allthingsrandom8137]

I do happen to know a guy… still loving the bracelet for now, but there is an Italian leather strap in its future

[@AK60814]

Definitely love the color of the dial

[@brotherandrew3393]

This is a very beautiful watch.

[@mrmagoo.3678]

Always wanted a Ball.. Fantastic watches.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Falling in love with it more and more everyday

This is like the best video I’ve ever seen I subscribed

[@micaljimenez7381]

The ball watchs are very nice and i would like too have one,the only point i heard negative is the fact that the tube with luminecent gaz only have 10 years of life and you have too send the watch at the fabric so what will be the cost for this kind of change? Probably too much, thats the reason why i dont bye this nice watch

[@allthingsrandom8137]

I get that. What I read was anywhere from 10-15 years. So to send it off for a refurbishing a few times in a lifetime isn’t a deal killer for me

[@micaljimenez7381]

@@allthingsrandom8137 yes,just depends how much they ask you for this,if they are like rolex could be a big deal...but i like this watch...very nice and good quality,just very hard to see in france,i would like to have it in my hand before buying.

[@gawintoker6022]

The watch strap is hard to deployed but once you have it wore its lock securely to my wrist.

[@gawintoker6022]

This is first with a tritium gas tube mark, and likely to be my last. Overall on other parts of the watch I have non complaints at all.

[@InGratitudeIam]

I had one, paid close to retail. Spec-wise, it spanks the Rolex. Unfortunately, these watches don't hold their value compared to certain watches. Two years later, when I sold my BEIII (excellent condition w/B&P), I was lucky to get $1,300 for it. Ouch :(...

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Spec for spec agree. But buying a watch is more than about value retention. I love my muscle car, even if it lost value. Enjoyable nonetheless

[@InGratitudeIam]

@@allthingsrandom8137 I just found it interesting that even though this watch is better on paper than most out there costing many times more, value was tied up more in the name than anything else for the general public.

[@jonathanthecreator2912]

I would’ve bought yours for 1400…

[@tonlaurenssen5488]

Thank you for the review I have the one with the white dial, question I want to buy a rubber strap for this watch does the strap that fits Rolex Milgauss also fit on this watch? I want to have a curved rubber strap.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Both are 20mm lug widths. Straps are normally universal with lug widths. But case curves are different, lengths of lugs(distance of spring bar from the case) are different, so straps fit the watch differently. So will of fit? It should. Would it look right? Hard to say

[@ExquisiteTimepieces]

Amazing watch and even better review!

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Thanks!

[@FullJikama]

This look like my Epoch luminous, at the dark it glow every line with colors

[@allthingsrandom8137]

And the Epoch is far more affordable

[@FullJikama]

@@allthingsrandom8137 Yes is true way more affordable also use tritium just like Ball engineer but! Ball is top notch.

[@gawintoker6022]

I just bough this model last month and very diaappointed about its tritium mark at night. almost unable to see the gas light, even in the complete darkness.

[@FullJikama]

@@gawintoker6022 interesting, mine don’t have that problem

[@allthingsrandom8137]

@@gawintoker6022 I understand what you mean, because at night your eyes have to adjust to the gas tubes. After five minutes, it’s fine to me. But I do understand when you’re so used to lume, once you go from bright to dark, it’s super bright. And the gas tubes just aren’t like that.

[@stevem863]

If Rolex is entry I’d be curious what you think luxury is. Over 20k, over 50k, 100k?

[@allthingsrandom8137]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqLbpYiYbtJgeqcsi=vf8APxNsJWJk2Lpj I lay it out here. It depends. If you look at the overall market of Watches from a $10 Casio to $1 million Richard Mille, then Rolex is literally entry-level. If you look at it from $10 Casio to a $30000 AP, then you can argue that Rolex is a little bit better. Rolex in the Watch world is a luxury tool watch. Only recently did they actually offer finishing on their movements. Not luxury. The only thing about luxury is branding and the perception that they are valued as they are. But in comparison to the car world, they are a Lexus. Not a Ferrari or Lamborghini. So if you’re used to driving a 1992 Honda Civic, then that Lexus is pretty luxurious.. if you’re used to driving a BMW, then the Lexus is not luxury at all. It’s just another car.

[@LeongChiuWai]

Good video ❤😊

[@kattmiller3459]

How long have you been reviewing replica watches. 🤔

[@NarcoWatches]

Lol yo I was thinking the same thing. The yellow ass tritium looks off to me and the quality of the watch as a whole just looks horrible. There’s no way I’m dropping $1.8k on that.I mean it wouldn’t be a common watch to replicate but seeing how these watches are about 75% manufactured in Hong Kong now it’s possible this is a rep lol

[@allthingsrandom8137]

You are aware that the tritium tubes are colored, correct? And clearly 75% of the watch can’t be manufactured outside of Switzerland or it couldn’t be called Swiss. I mean, these are basic things that you think you would know. You know, when you comment you think you would have some sort of education about the subject.
