    Very nice, chicago! It has a certain retro-vintagey look to it, at least to my eyes. Enjoy!

    Love that Skindiver...beautiful! Wear it in good health.

    Of course, this gives me an opportunity to post pics of one of my very favorite brands and friends I've owned/own. Ball is the brand that got me back into watches after a long hiatus and the overall quality is, IMHO, one of the best bang for the bucks around. Enough chatter.....pics!!!

    They changed the tube color at the 12 about 6 months after the original launch a few years ago. Here is a lume shot with the old tube color(As my personal standard I do not saturate lume shots so this is less than a second exposure time and I let convention lume sit at least 5 minutes so it is more realistic):



    The newer ones have a blue tube at the 12. This is a very tough watch and what I wore during my trip through the jungle in Cambodia a few years ago.
