-
Good collection you have there. I love the Ball worldtimer
-
Nice! :thumbsup:
I nearly bought the Ball Worldtimer
-
Isn't this the ball that got the "Watch of the Year 2011" for category up to 3000Euro? Impressive!
-
i am looking at the ball for a long time annnnnd......i still cant figure out how it works.
-
Sean, I need to ask this question. One of the issues among the Ball lovers when the Worldtimer was released is the spelling error on one of the cities' name, i.e. Dacca instead of Dhaka. I held one and true enough, it's stated as Dacca. But yours has the name Dhaka, instead of Dacca. ??? Did Ball actually rectify the mistake in the latest batches?
-
just one matter i am curious about, can worldtimers be considered gmt or are they limited to the cities on the watch bezel? how does the world time work? we turn the city to match 12o'clock or the hour hand?
-
Sean
Impressive collections. I like the oris pointer
Manburg - if that worldtimer is a rolex, I am sure its worth tons of $$. (misprint) on dial.

Manburg I have no idea since when they rectify this mistake,I brought mine at the last day of 2010. :thumbsup:

Manburg,
Both spelling are correct. It use to be Dacca before it was changed to Dhaka.
-
G.Mac,is turning the city name to 12 instead of the hour hand.for example hong kong is the only city having same time with us,so I just turn hong kong to 12,then will tell others.

Oic,thanks for the info hobbit :Cheers:

Moscow is GMT +4 and not +3.

Manburg,

Well, that begs a further question. If Dacca is indeed another recognised spelling, as you might have correctly pointed out, why did Ball feel the need to change it?
Anyway, as dc said, that Dacca model could be worth a fortune in 30 years' time! :laugh:
-
Great great. If Ur ball in rubber o leather strap more marvelous. N Ur signature watch is Ur Pam right???

Manburg,
I would guess it is to align with current spelling. Many cities over time has changed spelling and even names:
Kolkata - Culcatta
Mumbai - Bombay
Chennai - Madras
Peking - Beijing
Malacca - Melaka
Anyway with changes not only to the names of the cities, but also time zones, like Moscow which is now GMT +4 and not +3, perhaps the value of the watch may increase, from a historical point of view anyway.

Sean, nice collections :thumbsup:, a different varieties. I like the Ball worldtime, seem like quite a numbers of Ball fans here :Cheers:

Thanks Hobbit. I don't want to belabor on this point, but I need to clarify that I was actually mistaken. The spelling was not Dacca, but was Dahka! :shocked1: That is surely one glaring mistake and would explain as to why Ball decided to rectify it.

Manburg
Well, considering its genuine mistake, then you have actually miss out the opportunity to own a misspell dial.
Maybe better luck the next time when we see and hold one in hand.

Yea la ... :D But I could still rush to that outlet in Sunxxx Pyraxxx where I previously tried the watch, just to try my luck. Hopefull the SA still remember the generous discount he offered me then ... :Praying:

Hi, your Arbutus - any views about that particular watch?
