**Important Note**
I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

I got the Roadmaster Marine GMT for my 60th. Thanks for the helpful !great! GMT 3 time zone walk through. The only features I need are a second hand, day/date and current time zone. Tritium is certainly a plus. And it's reliable over this era of iOS watches.
I'm an airline pilot and like mechanical watches. Really considering this watch - I'm always bouncing thru different time zones and it would be really nice to be able to simply move the hour hand with out stopping the movement. Also like the tritium tubes so when I wake up in the middle of the night a quick glance will allow me to see how much longer I have before pick up. I find you can get more bang for your buck with Swiss made watches going with brands like Bell & Ross, Oris and perhaps Ball - if I pull the trigger this will be my first Ball watch.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, this would be a great watch for a pilot like yourself!
Beautiful piece brother. Congrats on the collab once again. Should be proud to be one of the few reviewers to get their hands on these for review.
Appreciate it brother! Thanks for tuning in!
Purchased this watch in the green and black. Love it.
Congrats! Thanks for watching!
sprite colour is beautiful
Nice review! 2 questions:
1. Is Ball using Grade 5 titanium? I thought it is more scratch-resistant than stainless steel
2. I wonder what the lug to lug is when you took off the bracelet and went with the rubber. It appears the bracelet end links add quite a bit to the lug-to-lug distance
Thanks!
Companies really need to start using hardness coatings on titanium watches. There are so many little scratches picked up already on what I assume is a new watch. Microbrands are doing it with limited cost increase so I'm sure the swatch group have access to the technology.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I love that watch! I have two other Ball watches and they are superb. Love the tritium tubes for late night time keeping.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Nice review. I wish I was in the marker for a GMT but I have two of them already. However my daily wear at the moment is a Ball world time, dual crown model.
It's gorgeous .Always been a fan of Ball but they keep getting even better .Nice review as ever mate ,
Thanks so much my friend!
This is a piece that I would definitely consider.
Thanks for watching Greg! Glad you like this one!
This piece catches my eyes and although I’m more of a bracelet guy, I really like how it looks on the rubber strap. Great review Josh. 👍🏽
Glad you like it my friend! Thanks for tuning in!
Ulysee Nardin dual time has also pushers for quick hour hand adjustment. Also recently Oris re-introduced it’s Worldtimer that has dual pushers too.
Thanks for watching and sharing! I don't know how or in what way these quick set pushers are patented by Ball but they say they are.
@@TheTownWatch my guess the patent is about lockable pushers. Both the UN and Oris pushers cannot be locked.
@@pth8888 Could be! Would be interesting to find out exactly what the patent covers here!
Great looking watch and in my eyes represents good value 👌🏻👌🏻
Wow, this is stunning Josh! I dig the coke color combo and those tritium tubes are 🔥🔥🔥
Srsly considering a ball watch to add and this one might be the one! Cool to see the pushers off to the left like that. 😎👍
Thanks for watching David! I really think Ball is a good brand with a lot of cool pieces! On the secondary/used market you can really find some good deals too. If you like the quick set pushers in particular they do also have some other models that implement the same technology! God bless my friend!
Great review Josh, and very cool that Ball provides you their watches so that you can review for your audience. I think they make great quality pieces and this GMT is a great example. I'm also a big fan of tritium tubes. Love this one on the red FKM rubber strap...just awesome. Well done my friend 👏 👍
Always appreciate your support Felo! Thanks for watching!
Now I know what those pushers do 😝
Very cool watch, too bad about the long lug to lug on bracelet but the strap looks good as an alternative.
😅 Thanks for stopping in my friend!
Actually the Patek Philippe travel time models have these pushers on the left too
You're right! Ball says their pushers are patented, in what way? I am not sure. Thanks for watching!
Good objective review. I’m considering this watch as I want to add a true GMT to my collection . The style, functions, and Luminance are the key selling features for me. Your comments on the bracket and the watch hands being a little short are spot on. Do you think they will issue a second run with those items changed as they also affect me?
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed! I'm not sure about the question you asked, sorry.
I'm planning to buy one
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it! Let them know you saw my video! 😁
Very nice presentation 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Very nice watch. That bracelet looks amazing, but I don't understand putting a butterfly clasp on a more tooly style watch. Also agree, it could use female endlinks.
Tritium is nice, love my Marathon, I wish Ball could do a different font with the numerals. I do understand it cannot be easy trying to fit a straight tube into a font.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching my friend! I agree, now that you mention it, that a butterfly clasp does feel a little out of place on a watch of this style.
Hi, do the pushers cause problems occasionally? For an instance with shirt sleeves?
I don't believe I wore the watch with long sleeves so I can't really answer this question! Thanks for watching!
no problem
Just fyi, it was the uniform accuracy of Ball watches that led to the creation of COSC.
I think this is a bit of a spud, but....If I was a international pilot or timezone busting bizznizzman the absalute functionality might make up for the "quirky" jug eared look...
😁 Thanks for watching!
Compare to pepsi, which one do you prefer if the prices are same?
With the pushers on the left, does it means that this watch is able to allow owner to do quick set date?
Thanks for watching! The pushers are for the local hour hand. If I remember correctly, if you keep pushing the forward pusher it will eventually change the date.
@@TheTownWatch Thanks for replying! I see I see. I thought we could do a quick set date using the crown as well. That would be insane!
excellent watch but why so many scratches?
Do you set the GMT hand with another pull of the crown?
Hello, thanks for watching. The local hand is set by the quick set pushers where as the GMT hand can be moved with crown.
@@TheTownWatch Thanks!
Wow cool watch
Glad you like it thanks for watching!
What are you wearing on your wrist my friend?
Citizen Nighthawk.
The white Dial
Is this watch available???
Yes. See link in description.
It's cool
Thanks for watching!
I thought the point of a true gmt is you don't need to interfere with minutes or seconds so no need to hack the seconds ?
In my demonstration of the pushers I did hack the movement but this is not necessary no.
Love the brand. Hate the pushers. Even a miyota gmt
Movement jumps the hour hand with a simple crown position. If you stare at those pushers and can’t stop yourself from hitting them together, you’ll mash the gears and need a service. They’d sing to me….push us together….do it…
I hear ya! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Why the cyclops
Magnification. 😅 Thanks for watching!
you must not be 55 yet!? 🤣
Hate to p*** on your parade. Porsche Design have a watch with hour settings via the pushers.
Most over-rated watch on the marketplace . Sucker born every minute for lining up for a limited edition
Bold statement! I don't think Ball is over rated as a brand. They do this "limited edition" thing with many of their watches. Thanks for watching. If you would like to substantiate your assertion with an actual argument as to why, feel free...
@@TheTownWatch The price is ludicrous. Numerals are from the Flintstones. I despise date Loupes. Yuck. Bezel and case? Looks and sounds clicky cheap Chinese I can buy for US$150.00. AMAZING VIDEO FOOTAGE! But you filmed a grossly over priced old school mechanical auto. Sorry bud. Me no like it. Have a great week!
@@MT03Guy Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@TheTownWatch I was a bit brutal but it really doesn't look anything like that kind of money.
When you're a pilot continuously bouncing time zones, you'll find tritium and GMT are priceless. I've worn the BALL Hydrocarbon Aero GMT daily for 5 years. It's a tank! The only other true GMTs out there until now have been Rolex & Omega. For $1,800, the Ball is a bargain. In 2023, Miyota movement is showing up in some cheaper watches, but they don't compete w/ BALL build quality. Ball isn't an investment watch, but it's a tool watch all day long. True GMT & Tritium... what else is out there?
