Hey Guys,
After long looking into the "perfect" white faced watch to add to my collection I decided upon the Ball "Mad Cow". I was torn between a Rolex Explorer II, Navitimer Cosmonaute, and the Ball "Mad Cow". I thought for the money and the sheer wrist presence this would be the best choice. It came in yesterdayand I couldn't be happier with the purchase and will post pics tonight when I return home from the office. Incredible Lume, awesome face, unique day/date styling, and just an overall beast. I have owned almost every name brand watch (within financial reason) and must say Ball stacks up with the Big Boys.

Thats a nice watch! may I ask: what is the size and thickness? I'm looking for a new watch down the road and my recently aquired SA has made me yearn for other "chunky" watches.

It is about as thick as my Skyland, I don't have the exact specs but will try to find them online. Thanks for the kind words!

There's a Ball AD near me, but I've never had one out of the case to handle, but that one of yours looks very well built indeed. :thumbsup:

Nice pickup!

Driver, I seriously suggest you go at least try one on. Super comfortable for the size and real interesting designs.
