Ball for BMW

sam-m3 · 10-05-2012, 02:14 PM

Im sure this will piss off all the watch haters, but its nice that BMW released a watch with a respectable brand (Ball)

Meh!

NoM3ForMe · 10-05-2012, 02:33 PM

Thanks for sharing.

Not very exciting for what it probably costs.

Rich_Jenkins · 10-05-2012, 02:53 PM

Watch is a fail.

A unique anti shock feature? Special night viewing feature? Are you kidding me?

Video is a fail.

Were the interviews done in a Miami Police lockup? Looks like it.

I don't have a clue how much this is. I'd give maybe $50 for it.

odiesback · 10-05-2012, 02:54 PM

I want one

I suspect that it will have the cost of a Patek Phillipe and the quality of a Seiko.

Marketing BS...

SenorFunkyPants · 10-05-2012, 05:16 PM

Pah...wouldn't even buy a rep of that.

On the top-end, they will be around $5500.

Sort of reminds me of a '80s Seiko.

1MOREMOD · 10-05-2012, 05:54 PM

eh so so. not best execution of the product.

dagolfpro · 10-05-2012, 11:08 PM

For that price, I'll buy an Omega PO before this thing.

Ghetto2315 · 10-06-2012, 08:54 AM

If it was a chronograph, I'd be interested

Mr. ///M3 RD · 10-06-2012, 12:11 PM

Not my cup of tea, I'm happy with my watch.

DivideBYZero · 10-06-2012, 12:19 PM

Meh, I'll take a Grand Carrera Calibre 17 over that any day.

iamcpap · 10-06-2012, 06:49 PM

Has Ball ever made a watch that was exciting? I can think of 10 watches I would rather have, easily...

If you want a race/engineering inspired watch then you get a Graham: Graham Stowe

But if you want to go hardcore Graham then: Graham Chronofighter GMT

MKE_M3 · 10-07-2012, 08:48 AM

I had never heard of Ball, so after reading this I did some research. Seems like a decent company and they have some beautiful watches.

Any of you surfer dudes have a Bathys?

I'd love to get one but they make them .... on island time ... I guess is the best way to describe it.

I'm on the wait list for a Benthic MOP but ... Bathys Benthic Mother of Pearl
