The tritium tubes should be good for about 20-25 years. To my understanding, at that time, rather than replace the tubes, Ball’s practice is to replace the entire dial. If the tubes were only good for ten years, that round be a major letdown. That life span has forced me to pass on a couple of these which which I figure could be approaching twenty years old by now. Cool watch regardless
I can confirm it is gorgeous. Bought mine from Watches of Switzerland in Singapore, with a super good price. Just fits perfectly, not too thick and is stunning to see and look at. No other watch matches the long indices out there. Gnomon watches have the unique red second hand, but it is more expensive and I was not ready for this (small) eccentricity yet. But both versions are beautiful (and the lumes, it is just such as a good idea for prolonged low light exposure like in a long flight). Price is just unbeatable. Highly recommended !
Great video by the way and very interesting watch. It is an unusual watch with a unique design. I just love the big crown which gives it a more dimensional look and feel. Can you tell me the dimensions of the crown, if possible? Thank you very much and wear it in good health 👍
I really love the history behind this company. I am curious as to what happens after 10-12 yrs and you need the tubes replaced. Can any watch maker do so ?
Camera cant catch the Lume as it is tritium, when in full dark or even low darkness it glows like a torch! Trust me I have one and it lasts all the time , it just can’t be captured on video due to the light

Love the watch. Unique, durable, valuable
I also bought this in March and absolutely love it. Completely gob smacked about its bang per buck.
Have one of these on the way, I'm very excited!
Just received mine. 5 Ball watches now and I'm set!!!
I have the same exact watches! Haha good review
I bought one but it makes a loud sounds inside when winding, its like a loose metal spinning inside though, does yours make the same noise?
Love the watch. Looking to find out it's weight on the bracelet. Any chance of a quick weigh in?

They should last about 25 years
Nice watch
Too much light reflecting on the watch! Couldn’t finish watching the video. And what’s up with the grey prop box with white borders?
Can’t see too much with lighting
Buddy the lume was bad.
Phil O stop hating he knows everything
@@finnseviltwin1478 the lume sucks

@@22Phanatic ok, its a great lookin watch.
Just bought the watch. Lumes are bright enough but not overbearing indeed. Classy actually
Looks like a cheap Seiko watch
Why?
Exactly, I'm going to buy this model next month and look forward to it.
Ur lame
You have no idea what quality is.
