Stalking this site daily for new deals as per usual. Normally I'm looking for cheapie deals but this one caught my eye.
I believe it's an older reference as I couldn't find it on Ball's site, but seems like it can be had online for 1100-1400. At this price, it's less expensive and a better value than buying preowned imo. Screaming deal if you're into it. Ball is a brand with rich history, and this has a nice low cost of entry into their brand.
The dial is a little busy for my liking, but it kinda fits with the train watch aesthetic, especially with the font used for the numerals. Sorta gives me pocket watch vibes. 40mm case, 13mm thick. Would have preferred 38-39mm and 12 or under, but hey it's under $900 for an automatic GMT with power reserve. I think their movements are based off ETA.

If you're into watches Google- The Great Kipton Train Wreck. You'll learn why Ball watches say "official RR standard" and where the phrase "get on the ball" came from.

Good deal IMHO.
GMT and Power Reserve under $1000 is an excellent deal.
Ball Watch caliber RR1302 [watchbase.com] based on ETA 2895.
Other watches using the same movement: https://watchbase.com/eta/caliber/2897
BTW, Ball does not necessarily mean low-cost entry into watch world. They make some really nice watches with in-house movement, for example: https://shop.ballwatch.
Nobody else REALLY cares. Ironically, it's actually interestingly comical to make rational criticisms of expensive watches and see fanbois, that spend large sums on obsolete and inferior technology with the hopes of obtaining some status symbol which screams ignorant desperate vanity, hurl subjective tangents to defend their niche.
Ok, ok, better have it all out than in

I think this is exactly what he meant by "triggered".

I'm a sucker for GMTs, though I prefer standard 4 handers. If this didn't have a separate sub dial for the GMT, I might have jumped already. Then again, I don't go anywhere so GMTs are useless to me lmao.

The brand Ball has no real following. Ball watches NEVER sell for retail, so looking at that MSRP and thinking you're getting some crazy discount is silly. Ball is a lower tier brand that always sells at a discount. This might be a slightly higher discount than other times, but that's it. It's not the deal of the century.
In addition, and because of that, these watches have no real resale or used market. They just tend to sit in a drawer and gather dust when you've lost interest, versus some of the other "higher end" brands that will hold value better and have more interest in the used market.
So what does that mean IMO? If you LOVE the way this watch looks and you think you'll wear it over and over again and love it for a long time....buy it, it's a decent value.
If you are buying it because you want to try it, and you think it's some crazy great deal that you can flip for a profit or even what you paid if you change your mind.....don't buy it, it's not that kind of watch (nor the right brand).

On the topic though, there is some following for Ball watches on watch forums, but not for this model. It's mostly for Hydrocarbon Engineer variations, and Skin Divers. But I second, it's a good deal price-wise, not amazing. So if this is your style - go for it.
