Amazing art work there. Really love the combination of dial and case. Those gold accents really pop. The dial is really good. Amazing Work!

Does anyone have another brand in mind?

You have the ones I wanted to add to my collection. That iwc mark xi homage is amazing! That air ministry's hands... and well, everest... You can't go wrong with any of those!

In my opinion, nomos and junghans are better in the minimalist department. Lange, with their saxonia thin...Damn, I had that in my hands, so simple, yet so beautiful!

I have the same opinion regarding the managment and marketing. I Really believe that Ball should invest more in getting a bigger network and Brand perception. thank you for your input!

They guy who wrote that text should've gone to this site:

BALL Watch Online Boutique

Yes, I looked that the Ball website it is not always updated compared to the online shop. I bought 2 via their online shop and 1 via iguana sell that are ADs. Gnomon is also an AD for Ball. As I said, I have 3 Ball watches, they haven't failed me... yet.

For the different looks - Would go for the Farer. Really like their out of the box designs and color combinations.

For a more understated and more conservative look - Would go for the hamilton. It has more pedigree, more conservative look that won't be outdated in a few years.

It all depends in your preferences and you wardrobe and activities you would do with the watch. 

For my kind of work and daily wearing would go for the hamilton, however really like the color combo of the Farer.
