welcome mike! i just saw the release of the twelve 36 (ti) in cosmic purple and am in love! the dial, cosc certified movement, titanium case and 36mm sizing are all superb! just trying to decide on bracelet or rubber strap, but i'll probably end up getting both :)

i'm in houston, tx. how do i find out about local events? would love to see the watches in the metal.

thank you.

I got the Forstner ladder bracelet (recently on sale at Windup) for this vintage Hamilton Khaki Sub and think it looks and feels great!

I just received my first Ball watch, this beautiful Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer (36mm). I REALLY like it and will be keeping an eye out for future 36mm releases. Initial thoughts:

Likes:

  • They finally came out with a 36mm watch, which is perfect for me.

  • The movement is COSC certified and has been running about 1 second fast per day.

  • My near vision sucks so love the cyclops.

  • It looks like a Rolex Datejust and has the antimagnetic rating of a Milgauss at a fraction of the cost.

  • The raised center links of this bracelet are brushed whereas they appear polished on their other watches.

  • When I wake up in the middle of the night I love looking at the glowing rainbow tubes.

Dislikes:

  • While I think the current dial is beautiful, it's different from the dial originally advertised when I ordered it in Feb 2023. After I received it, their customer service confirmed the change. I think I would've preferred the original (olive?) green dial.

  • The bracelet is pretty nice but I would've preferred a push button deployment versus friction.
