think it's 5.1k before less, i almost bought it til i tried it at kronometry. didn't like it.

Bro,

Can elaborate more on the watch. Bcos I thought of getting it . However, it seems that there is not much diff from the normal Hydrocarbon chrono beside the water resistant level and it's dial IMO.

Cheers!

hihi, besides the differences u mentioned, for the Trieste:

the case is 1mm bigger
has a auto helium release valve
more gas tubes (50 vs 30)
Limited Edition (1000 pc only)

[Darth Vader]

Thanks for the info Bro

Currently, i have the Hydrocarbon Titanium "Mad Cow" and find the Nw Trieste Chrono (White dial) really nice. Do u think worth to get one

Please share ur opinion. Thanks.

Cheers!

iirc, can go greater depth of 600m.

ball watches are great value for $$$ but take a great hit if resale. i am speaking from personal experience.

Thanks for the advice Bro.

Agree with u that Ball watches are As I find my Mad Cow really solid . Is just that if the price is too ridiculous then might as well save the $ to buy a Rolex.

How much you paid for the Mad Cow ? I got one last X'mas with 30% discount (paid cash). It's nice and sturdy and it really glows in the dark, however I find it's too huge & heavy for my wrist, plus the Titanium material is easily scratched. Thus sold it off within 1 month, and bought the SS DJ entirely different animal !

Hi,

Am considering among:

1. Ball HydroCarbon Chrono (Trieste Ltd Edition)
- $5.1k
- Dislike: only black dial available
- Like: Size.
- Not sure: Value? (worth $600 more than normal edition?)

2. Ball HydroCarbon Chrono (Normal Edition)
- $4.5k
- Dislike: black in white dial (prefer 1-colour all white)
- Like: Size.
- Not sure: Value vs more established brand like Tag Heuer?

3. Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chrono Day-Date
- $4.6k
- Not sure: is it too common? Better value than Ball?

Would really appreciate any comments, txs.

Ball Versus Tag

Dear Bro,

Dun really like Tags as they are really common.(often seen in TCS drama)

On the other hand, Ball watches are solid with many different designs to choose from.

From the Chunky Hydrocarbon series to Sleek Fireman series (Night Train) or even the Engineer II series (Ball Officer & Aviator).

Anyway, this is my own opinion. You should try them on to see which one is comfortable on the wrist and which one u really like.

Not an ideal location to have a watch exhibition IMO. Probably just for the convenience of Cortina Watch i suppose. The last Ball exhibition held there, the turnout seems to be rather disappointing. Barely anyone around. How's the turnout this time?

Bought Tag instead of Ball

Hi, thanks for all comments received.

Finally decided on the Tag as we're buying a pair...for anniversary, birthday & Xmas!

Ball doesn't really have any suitable for ladies...all quite chunky

[sys12345]

Which model from Tag have u decided?

Which model from Tag have u decided?

Actually bot them last nite...Aquaracer Gents Day-Date Chrono Auto silver dial + Aquaracer Ladies MOP dial w diamond studs

[sys12345]

Good choice! The gents day-date model is bigger at 43mm as compared to the date only model. Looks like a nice sports model. I dont suppose this is the one u got for your other half?
