The luckiest guy I know
Is me. I just got this from my spouse. I hereby take back everything I said about her family...

My gut tells me I'm lucky beyond all measure.

The amazing thing is, she went for this after I bought this as a dress up watch. Or going out for pizza. Or pajamas with pockets. My first RR was a BWR in a Ramona case. I still think its one of the most beautiful combinations I've seen. I know its not correct, but its so pleasing to the eye and hand. Any Ball conversation is welcomed with gratitude.

Incredible expression of your marital relationship. You are the luckiest guy, and now you have one more item to caress in your household! Congratulations most sincerely.

Beautiful, Ball expert which one is this, Shugart is hard to understand and Townsend doesn't even mention it!? Is envy green? Roll Eyes

Not the expert-by a wide mile, but this is an 18s 17 jewel model. The case rear has a couple of dings but no brassing. Its a shame the pics of the 999B don't show the white gold filled case accurately. I started to leave the house with the 999B in my pocket. I thought better of it and grabbed my trusty 940 carry piece. After all, I am only the temp caretaker of the Ball's, right?
