    My sentiments exactly when it was posted over on the random watch thread:

    The missing 1 is for the lack of running seconds. Otherwise I'd be sorely tempted.

    I would agree. Seems to be all over the place.

    Some watches are blocked by country by Ball if they are not offered in that country, or can't be sold there. That may be why you could not see them. This is a T watch and has many tubes to light up the bezel. Unfortunately, Ball conventional lume has never been that great so the numbers on the dial may fade out quickly, but the excess light from the bezel may keep it visible.

    I once owned the "with date" version. It sat a little funny on my small wrist due to the long-ish and flat-ish lugs compared to other watches I have.

    But when I saw these, I want one (or both)! I've always preferred no-date vs. with-date if there was a choice, and something about the fake aged lume tickles my fancy. If they could have used the "aged" (for lack of a better word) Hamilton font typeface it would be perfect!



    Now black or brown dial? I can so see these with one of Iyonk's straps

    Looks like I need to see one - that sounds amazing!

    I just came across this and I'm drooling--the 2018 thread

    I’ve had 3 watches without running seconds, it’s scary at first but you get used to it



    With the chronos (Seiko 6138 and Citizen 8100a), you can obviously time stuff, but with no second hand at all, you can’t

    So this makes a dressy no seconds watch a slightly specialist beast for more mañana situations, like art galleries and parties, in my life

    It’s kinda calming to look at:
    see, no rush

    That CW *is* nice

    Still pretty much the only watch I'm drooling over. I just spent some hours in Geneva Airport and they had every watch ever made for sale there (or nearly) but no AP :-(Name:  4077608_xxl.jpg

    I've been trying to tell myself the same thing.... I'll adapt. It would just be a 'going out' dressy watch so not essential. My OCD needs a visual assurance that it is running..... BUT: I was wrong about the 'Zex', I may well be wrong about this, too.
