Product Description
This tactically inspired watch is a slightly new direction for Ball, a proven watchmaker that tends to err towards heritage designs. The titanium case is lightweight and super strong Read More

Which model is this? The photos on the Ball Website seem different, for example the seconds hand is yellow ( DM2176A-P1CAJ-BK )

Watch looks great, but the matte painting on the spinning dial/Tachymeter can be easy to scratch so be careful. The main body is safe from scratches. Lume looks great at night.
Watch is heavier than expected regardless of the titanium case, because the movement must be heavy itself. It is still lighter than other mechanical watches with stainless steel bodies.
Has anyone noticed the amazing smell to the plastic band? I went to the store and found it smells like Dior Homme Intense. I wonder if this is an innate property of the band, or it will fade off.
Band and body is comfortable enough to sleep with it on.
Other notes: The glowing tubes are not white like the picture. They are slightly green/yellow as expected from their endless glow. Second hand is yellow. The thicker lines on the inside depicting minutes is yellow and not white. There is a rod on the hour hand and minute hand.
I don't believe the pictured watch is a different model, I think they had a really bad camera man. That let everything get bleached out.

AbohirHey Abohir. Thx for the reply. I hesitated on joining the drop and now I somehow regret it. Why somehow? Because I am not sure about the import taxes on the watch(I am from Romania) and also I am not sure about the warranty process in case I receive a faulty product.
If someone has bought the watch as part of this drop, wants to resell it(in Europe) at a reasonable price, I might be interested.

CloacaActually, you can find exactly same fish symbol in Panerai, Longines etc. I assume it simply means water proof/resistant.

Timing is bad on this one because I just did the preorder for the Engineer III StarLight.Otherwise I would be all over this. I love that it's titanium and the multi-color tritium tubes are fantastic.
Do this drop again in a couple of months and I'l all in...but I'm tapped out for this month.
