 Thank you all for the kind words, and add'l info. I had assumed it was some sort of ETA 2824 or variant. Wasn;t sure if it was modified by Ball though. I have been very happy with all my 2824 equipped watch. As a matter of fact my Gsar ETA 2824 mvt was +5 secs/week. My two DOxas are also very accurate.
This Ball is +6 seconds since I received it and put it on Friday about 3pm. SO I would say it qualifies as very accurate for a mere 2824:)
The lugs are indeed a bit weird at 21mm but most 22mm straps will squeeze in there or can be shaved just a tad.
Like Paxman, I think the 43mm IS indeed THE Sweet Spot... especialy for this style watch. Perfect for me and my wrist anyway. I also liked the blue #s version but eded up striking a good deal/trade on this one which is in very good condition and came with a Black and an orange Nato in addition to the worn out Ball Leather. I did not like the Ball Leather anyway.
I also happen to have a Black orange stripepd Nato and agree with Will it'd be a nice compliment to this Orange numeral/markers Ball.
Thanks again all!
