Ball Engineer Master II Grand Central Terminal (GCT) Limited Edition Dual Time ZoneComplete, full kit, with all boxes, paperwork, and BOTH OEM Ball strap/buckle, AND Ball OEM SS bracelet.Ball’s 44mm GCT is similar to their GMT Aviators, but the sub dial “clock” on this one is beautiful, recessed, with sharp steel silver hands, as are hands on the main dial, and very readable against the black background.  The circular GCT logo, circular large date window and sub-dial all look very balanced on the dial, augmented by the Ball logo in the 4th quadrant.  The numerals and logos are all very precisely printed, and overall the finish quality is of the highest standards, consistent with a limited edition watch that retails at close to $4k—a much better overall finish than the watches on the lower end of the spectrum in Ball’s line up.  This one is equal to the Cannonball, Trainmaster Racer, 21st Century, Flying Scotsman and other top quality Ball offerings.Why am I selling it?  I bought this a couple of months ago, but within a day or two of purchasing it, before it even arrived, I found another watch that I never thought I would be able to get, but managed to grab it.  Initially I thought of keeping both, but in my trend of completely downsizing my collection, with the basic fact that I am kind of a one watch guy, I just don’t need two or three great watches—I will wear one at the expense of the rest—and it makes no sense to just leave great watches sitting idly.

• Condition:  Keeps great time, looks excellent.  A couple of nicks and swirls on the case including a small dent on the bezel at about the 5:28 position.  Crystal perfect.  Leather strap in good but used condition, the bracelet is nearly brand new, worn just a couple of times since purchase.  The minute hand on the sub dial clock sometimes looks behind by a minute but is rarely if ever apparent in use—an easy fix, but honestly not worth the bother—if this is an issue for you, however, please consider purchasing a new GCT, I believe a few are still available (at nearly $4K!).  The two or three marks on the case and the very slight minute hand variation—both shown in the pictures--are what allow this to be offered at well more $2k less than the original list price.Shipping from Japan is FREE via EMS, includes tracking and insurance. US customs just about never assesses any fees for used watches under $5,000, so there should be no problems in that regard--based on experience--however, if any fees were to be incurred, they likely would be quite minimal but would be the buyer's responsibility. Payment is Paypal. Based on past experience, shipping is often quicker AND safer than standard domestic delivery services. I have great feedback, with extensive experience shipping watches to anywhere in the world with ZERO PROBLEMS to date. Let me know if you have any questions.I have two registered Ebay addresses, one in Portland OR, and the other in Hiroshima Japan.  I, and the watch, are currently located in Hiroshima, so the watch will be shipped from Japan, not Portland!!  In fact, ALL of my sales  transactions involve shipments from Japan to the rest of the world.A note that I include with ALL of my watch sales:
This watch is guaranteed authentic and comes in excellent cosmetic and working condition (with issues, if any, duly noted, above)—please review the pictures carefully as they are part of the description. I cannot guarantee time accuracy for watches other than to say that they were working fine and are guaranteed to run. Keep in mind that the process of shipping can sometimes affect the timing/accuracy of watches, and they may need to be adjusted upon receipt. As such, though they likely will not require it, I recommend that all used automatic watches be serviced upon receipt. The watch has not been tested for pressure or water resistance. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING OR MAKING AN OFFER.
