It's my new Ball Spacemaster. It didn't blow my socks off at first glance but as the minutes "tic" by I am liking it more and more! Anytime I get a watch the first thing I ask myself is would I push a refund button if it was that easy to get my money back, and gladly the answer is no.

What is probably the most surprising is the specs. list it at 41.5mm! I think an SA would make a typical 41.5 look like a kids watch side by side, but not this one. The size was a concern at the time of purchase but not any anymore.

This will probably be my only watch buy for 2011 with the exception of maybe another G-shock or something, but I'm actually good with that. Up until a year and a half ago my best watch had been a $600 quartz Aquaracer. (So it's very easy to be happy and content with what I have now)

Poor quality camera/pics, probably because my spare cash has gone for watches. :D

Very nice. Congrats on the purchase!

Get some lume shots when you have a chance! Let's see that tritium glow!

Yes, these have incredible lume, but my camera sucks too bad to get a good shot. :?

Dial measures the same, and with white wearing bigger than black it's what got me past thinking it would be too small.

Very nice addition Time Bandit....Ball makes a fine watch I think and are a good bargain for the buck. I'm hoping to add one to my collection this year as well. Wear it well and in good health sir!

Congrats, looks like a perfect fit! I was actually looking at that exact piece about a month ago, love the dial with the blue hands. The thickness kept me from pulling the trigger, but put Ball on my radar for future options.

Enjoy !

Nice Ball!!! I really like the lume on them. I saw this brand a couple years ago,and think they are super underrated.
