Title: I caved in and got me...
Post by: mcbarney666 on June 16, 2010, 01:04:39 PM
...a Ball Fireman - Storm Chaser  ;D

But now I've got to learn how to maintain it.  :P

I'm very new to all this horology stuff so bear with me. I am extremely happy with my purchase and I'll post pics when I can. Never expected to buy so soon but the price and the great sales service won me over.

Whoopee.  :Dancing_banana:

PS: The superluminova is absolutely gorgeous.  :)

PPS: Mods @ Sorry if this is not the correct section.

just make sure dont't change the date between 8pm-3am as it might damage the movement. else, wear it with joy  ;)

just for clarification, the above is only applicable to mechanical watches.

ball is using tritium gas tube and not superluminova.
