Absolutely stunning! Are their any authorized dealers in the UK and if so how much is it over here.
As a complete watch novice call 'Ball' be spoken in the same sentence as Rolex, Breitling, Omega, etc without being scoffed at? Do they hold their value or are they like most Tags - i.e. nice, decently made, good image but depreciate like a stone the moment you put it on your wrist?
My search for my big watch purchase may finally be over...

Hello SB
Luxury Swiss Watches - Bell & Ross, Bremont, Oris, Baume & Mercier, Raymond Weil, Maurice Lacroix, Corum and Ball Watches
Official UK Ball dealer, with finance if you would like to spread the cost.
Residual value ? I couldnt say, I have seen a Triest fetch £1600 at 9 months old, but I tend to look at values after 5 years of ownership.
Find a fake one......100% sure you wont.
It has become par for the course that everyone you meet when wearing a Rolex/Breitling assumes its fake, which doesnt bother me too much because I wear my watches for me, no one else, so I know what they are. But I do get a bit fed up with the backing up speach and taking the watches off for someone to maul and inspect. But when you wear the Ball/chase no one knows what they are, so they dont think 'fake' they simply look and like or dislike the watch for what it is..

Much cheepness on retail £1550 if your willing to take a chance...not excellent feedback and you will pay import duty.
Unless the watch is labelled "returned goods" or "watch for repair"...obvioulsly this means that you have paid the duty and the watch has been sent back to the dealer for repair, and you are getting it back, or that you have returned the watch for another reason and then it has been returned to you, if you know what I mean.

Not for me I'm afraid - or at least going off those pictures.
The dial seems a bit too cluttered and I really dont like the lights. I'd much prefer a gentle glow.
Having said that I havent seen one in the flesh and the 3D floating hands may be a winner.
