A few of the forum members, including yours truly, attended the launch of the Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital at Studio 99, last night. All of us had a great time, especially Chris who walked away with the 2nd prize for the lucky draw, a spanking new Ball watch. Check out his post to share his joy!

Our lucky man taking pics at the display (http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/leongps78/21102010105.jpg)
I was kinda disappointed that there was only TWO, yes 2 Ball watch on display. In a case with strong light shinning in very dark place so even viewing was quite painful for the eyes.
Now waiting for Abel to post the group shoot.

Have to agree KC does not look the part.What a shame he puts on a bored look
I believe it was a long day for him and our cameras probably caught him at some awkward moments. To be fair he looked pretty enthusiastic on stage that night, especially when he was handing out the lucky draw prizes.
