Nice one at that - buy another ball to balance your balls and you also like the backside too. :Laughing_on_floor:

Ahem, Ball watches are nice timepiece with good quality build. Congrats.

thank you guys, i'm still newbie. hope i can learn from you all. indeed i think collect watch as hobby is lot more cheaper than fast cars or superbikes, at least for a beginner like me.

saw 1 preowned poljot aviator for sale. need to pay a visit to the owner. but this one if i manage to buy need to "sorok" fr wife la. she keep on telling that i only have 2 hands, what for to buy more watch.

hehehhe

Watches r cheaper than superbikes or sport cars (or even satria or perdana (poor man sports car) ). however, watches r quite substantial too if u r too deep in :)

watches can last for years and pass down to generations, fast cars (most of it) can't.

You definitely need to balance up on your Ball(s)  :Jumping: :Jumping: An Engineer ii or Hydrocarbon could make a nice next addition, although they now have another 125th Anniv rose gold classic piece that trudges into Rolex's price domain.

I like Mondaine too, especially the 6-second delay second-hand-jump version like the Mondaine railway clocks. That is one unique piece  :thumbsup:
