This design is paying tribute to the marine chronometer which was use as a "GPS" during the 18th century...not homage to DW sweat.gif

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?
*
offcourse the rose with smiley dial, the production period was short...is rare
the only watch auction black bay that sold for 375k CHF is also having the rose logo biggrin.gif

+ point : ETA movement that you could go for servicing much cheaper
- point: refer back the + point.... tongue.gif

It's too little too late for Ball. They didn't managed to capitalize on their strong market presence a few years ago and now they are flopping in a lot of countries.

They should shore up their resale value by not releasing refresher models every 6 months. But instead they went greedy and went for quantity over quality with a lot of very badly designed watches (date window too small etc.).

It's like they can't decide whether if they want to be sports oriented (Oris) or are they more dressy (Longines). This lack of identity really killed their brand among serious collectors.

I dont think serious collector would look at ball at the first place....

folks,

seek sifu advice here. between MB (40mm) & BM (43mm) moonphase complication, which one to go for?

both prices almost same from local AD.

anyone here owned either one of them? [attachmentid=8143481][attachmentid=8143482]
*
between this 2, will go for B&M, the clifton collection will still be there in the future but for MB this design might discontinue anytime ....
