Does anybody know of a homage to a Ball Fireman Enterprise???
I was out shopping today and seen this watch, I immediately fell in love with it. It’s so clean and simple yet elegant and rugged.
I was wondering does anyone know a decent homage to this watch or does anybody know where there is a good deal, I’ve been looking online and gnomon watches seems to have the best deal.
Or does anyone have any experience with this watch.
Thanks for reading

You know it feels a lot like a lot of black dial watches with dauphine style hands (Seiko sarb033, seiko spb203, traska commuter, orient star automatic RE-AU0402B00B, Hamilton jazzmaster H32505131)
I think my question is how important are the tritium tubes for you? That's a pretty signature thing for ball, and I don't think you're going to find a other brand that does them in that way.

Tritium doesn’t matter too much but good lume is 💯% necessary
Hi, sorry, I am a bit late, but since I own an Engineer III I would like to comment on your question. My Ball has become one of my favourite watches. I initially was intrigued by the tritium tubes and this really is a highlight, I am enjoying this aspect a lot. Also, it is very well built, the 904L steel is really beautiful, in my collection only the Omega Aqua Terra has it and it really is on another level regarding how it shines. (It is a bit more blingy, so this of course is a matter of taste.) I definitely consider buying another Ball, I even eyed the Fireman Enterprise (but rather the white dial version), but I need to keep from buying more watches for a while...
So, summing it up, my experiences have been very good and I assume the watch you are considering has very similar characteristics.
Thanks, I’m ever so slowly being pushed over the edge by this watch. I think I’m going to hang out for a good deal though.
I like the Frederick Constant world time complications.
