That pricing is a bit crazy for Ball. Most sell on the secondary market between $800-2200 depending on the model. The BMW once might be a bit more, but I don't think I would ever spend over $2500 on a Ball.

That's not to say they aren't great watches, in fact they have better precision that many COSC certified watches, but they don't fall into the same league as a watch that's nearly $4k or more.

I really like the middle one... Where can you get one of those? They sure are neat. Would make a good present to a diehard BMW fan.

don't ever meet your heroes...still trying to get used to how small this thing wears when im used to a 46mm daily.

SO glad I'm not the only one.

How do you guys have this much money to spend on watches and still have an e30 that isn't insane?

Just got this Invicta Venom Hybrid Reserve w/ a Master Calendar. Only going to use it for more special/unique occasions.

Yikes. Found out my grandfather has an old spaceview Bulova accutron with the tuning fork movement. Super cool! Maybe I should pick one up sometime. Love the face how it's clear...

Wow that leather band really transformed that Omega. Gorgeous watch!

This past summer on my trip to Reno me and my girlfriend bought Moto 360's... Hmph. Never had a smart watch before but it's sorta' cool. It doesn't replace the Movado, but it's great for every day stuff when I'm not feeling like dressing up with one of my actual watches...

Anyone else have a smart watch?

So ebay was good to me lately. I scored all of these for less than $100 total.
1960 Bulova Regata (rare face). My favorite of the bunch. Stainless case and back. Keeps fantastic time.


1955 Bulova 23, in a '57 case. Case is stainless steel. This movement has issues, but I bought it more for the case so I can put my black faced movement into it (that watch doesn't have a bulova case. I'll likely put this movement into that case and sell it.)


1956 Bulova 23 with fancy lug case. Also bought with the intention of installing the black faced movement into it, but this thing keeps perfect time so I might just leave as is. I kinda like the golden patina on the face.


1970 Bulova Sea King. 10K rolled gold plate. Its not perfect, but keeps great time. I think I paid $30 for it shipped.


I think I paid on average $15 for all of the Model 23s. The Regata is a larger case than the others. Its very clean and is my favorite of the bunch.
