Not now. But back in the early 2006-2009, Ball was a microbrand destined to be something big. Kinda like Nomos of its time.
*
Nomos can't be considered a microbrand. Everything is developed in house. Small company. Big vision. Great products. But the new stuff always out of stock because of the slow production rate.

After some considerations and lotsa thoughts and some deeper thoughts I'll probably go for the BBB this year and the rest should be KIV.

Now after many places and some strings to pull I manage to get hold of the shop to bring in the last piece of ETA BBB. And me being me suddenly thought the new in house BBB ain't that bad either.

So now I'm confused between the rose and a smiley dial or the new shield Logo BBB

So so confuse and both does look lovely to me ...

If it's you guys which would you pick?
*
I'd say go for the ETA, read online about the new movement and apparently if there's any flaw on the movement you have to send it back to Rolex (HQ at the mean time I think, as not all the watchmaker go through training on the new movement yet) themselves to fix it. Being a new movement people should see this coming. Couldn't find the thread on WUS that talked about this

Oh and the in house BBB has rivet styled bracelet. Looks weird imo when Tudor "modernised" the look on the dial but has that vintage rivet bracelet on.

How do you find bronze watches? I still have that itch to own one but can't seem to find one that hits all the spot.

Yes in KL.

Bought directly from Steinhart, I don't see what's the problem ordering online other than not being able to try it on. Having trust on the brand is really important and that's about it

One thing to note is just the straight lugs and how it tapers and sits on the wrist.

the only one recently that hits the spot is the oris.
the tudor like the steinhart both use aluminum bronze... which to my eyes doesn't patina naturally as much as brass.
but the steinhart is much cheaper... so i dont mind it.

Yea, I'm not looking at the big brands because I know it will be something is probably fleeting for me.

I saw pictures of the Halios and Margratte, stunning.. Though as microbrands usually are, all sold out long and doesn't seem likely to be coming back.

I'll keep an eye of out for the Steinhart.

halios also uses alu bronze...margrette too expensive already.

guys my friend intended to sell me his panerai watch, but without cert and box, can i get a new cert and box from panerai?
*
Uhh.. yeah you can get a new box, additional rubber/leather strap and strap changing tool. But it will cost several thousand ringgit for a set of those. The certificate however may not be possible for Richmond to sell you a new one.

Also, PAM has a lot of 1:1 fakes out there. Make sure that you really trust your friend before buying it from him.
