MG ... i see the hydrocarbon series blur leow... so many movt... got eta 2824-2, 2892-2, 7750, 2893-2 , 2892, 2836-2, ball 9018 etc.
I think Ball is slowly modifying the ETA movements . So earlier batches have Original ETA movements and gradually change to modified ETAs . So without removing case back no way of knowing .

If you pick up a starving dog and nurse him well, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

so if they modify it .. they will rename it ball Caliber xxxx izzit ? how we know if it's their origin or not ?
The list i pasted states the Ball caliber and base ETA caliber . Same thing being done by many other watch manufactures to create their own brand image .

BALL Trainmaster Moonlight Special (Limited Edition of 999 pieces)
BALL Trainmaster Moonlight Special (Limited Edition of 999 pieces)
The limited edition BALL Trainmaster Moonlight Special hearkens back to an era of luxury railroad travel. With a classic dial, it evokes the echoes of prestige that surrounded travelling the American railroads. A limited series of 999 pieces, the Moonlight Special is an instant classic.
The growing number of traveling businessmen in the late 1800s initially gave rise to sleeper cars that were little more than cots on the floor. The railroads quickly realized they could better serve their customers The world-famous Pullman cars set the standard: cherry wood lined the wall, the plush seats were illuminated by softly glowing oil lamps, and the car itself was mounted on a suspension for further comfort. Soon, overnight travel on the railroads was an indulgence in high demand. The best trains, like the Super Chief, Empire State Express and 20th Century Limited, were well-known to the public and viewed with much admiration.
The Trainmaster Moonlight Special is one of the most complicated BALL watches to date. Its timekeeping functions are enhanced with a triple calendar display while the chronograph records accumulated time up to 12 hours. The moon phase display and 24-hour indication are a clear nod to the legacy of travel. Lit by BALL gas tubes, the Trainmaster Moonlight Special is a worthy companion for explorers of all types.

Like to post pictures of my Hydrocarbon Magnate. Pardon me for the poor photo skill & condition of my watch (lots of fingerprint & dust)
40mm case ... just nice for my small wrist. The bezel is bigger than the hydrocarbon classic which also has a 40mm case.
Lumin bezel (with 2sec shutter exposure in a darkroom)
The magnifier is great for the date viewing. But the edges tends to be dirty and stain is hard to clean off.
The crown safety mechanism to ensure that the crown is fully locked before the lever can engaged nicely
The watch is so heavy that I will have a submarine imprint on my wrist when I remove it at the end of the day.
The links are connected by screw instead of tiny rod. However the screws (if not tightened fully) tends to be go loose after a few days. Need to use the white tape (for plumbing joint) to prevent in from "unscrewing" by itself.
