Ball Engineer II Green Berets Hands-On Review
Ball Engineer II Green Berets Titanium. Tritium.Titanium Carbide Coating. Field Watch. Honestly, when describing the Ball Engineer II Green Berets, I could probably end the review right there. This is not a new piece from Ball, but it is one I have been wanting to review for some time.

Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon DeepQUEST II Review
Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon DeepQUEST II The Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Deepquest II is an update to a popular dive watch from the famed Swiss Brand.

Luminox Dress Field 1832 | Watch Review
Luminox Dress Field 1832 I have a soft spot for Luminox. It was the first “real” watch I purchased when I was about 16 years old. I got it from a now defunct store by the name of Service Merchandise, a popular store in the USA for some time. They sold many brands from Seiko to Tag Heuer, and of course Luminox.
