I like it!! How many tubes on it? Does the case look Firemannish? I am guessing like 42mm-43mm diameter? NICE.

I too think it is a nice "simple" looking but very classy..  I think in many of Ball's watches they simply have way "too" much going on with all the vials and dial markings..  this is one is simply straight-foward and classic design... and nice looking vials as well.

And as an added bonus, it seems as it they used SuperLuminovo on the arabic numbers and markings on the dial as well...  very good move on their part..  I am starting to like it more...

pics from WUS..

I'm kind of on the fence. I think it would look better without the numbers and circle on the dial.
Then again, I also wish I could afford a Ball.:)

I really like the broad tubes. But the size...46mm! without the crown. 22mm between the lugs. I just don't see it fitting my arm.

It amazes me that so many of the Aviator" style watches are so huge...especially when (at least) the military requires 20/20 vision to fly and FAA standards are high with correctable to 20/20!!! :D  I see where Debaufre his now offering a new NAV B model that is 44mm in addition to the huge 48mm version.

nice but I think tubes should have been used throughout in Ball fashion instead of the superluminova indiceshand6.gif
