At the website, I was especially impressed by the pulsemeter complication. It was well done and combined with the wonder lume, I may have found my next watch.

However, the Cleveland Express Dual Time does have second time zone. And the Diver GMT is a simply fantastic watch. I picked one up about a month ago and I can't keep it off my wrist!

I have, as a watch repairer and collector, bought and sold more than 50 watches over the last two or three years (IWC, Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Eterna,etc.). Ball watches stand up against any of the best, and in fact surpass most. Currently I own six(three Fireman, a Night Train, an Aviator, and a Master Engineer) All keep nearly perfect time, all are built to withstand the harshest treatment, and all are legible in virtually any situation, day or night. I just about wouldn't even look at another brand these days.

There are finger prints, and the models have been handled a lot. I took the images quickly in passing. Just a brief view of the watches - I wouldn't have posted them if the watches themselves were shabby. Erwin,

The brushed finishes are very fine on both the cases and the bracelets. Many models use a combination of brushed and polished finishes. I agree that the pictures don't portray the watches in the greatest light. They look like they've been heavily handled and at least 2 of the pictures show the watches with the protective plastic still present. Erwin,
