As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

This is less of a deal than it is a request for information. Ashford has this Ball Engineer Master II GMT as one of their weekly specials.
List $3199, normally $1599, on sale for $1195 but available for even less from watchgooroo on eBay. It’s titanium. I’m interested but my search skills are failing me because I’m unable to find an image that definitively shows the tritium tube colors on this particular variant. Can anyone help?
Similar model in this video. But can't say the colors would be the same, but I would assume so.
Check the :37 mark.
I emailed Ashford's customer service to inquire about the tube color. The exchange is below:
ME: Can you please tell me the colors of the tritium tubes on this watch:
ASHFORD: Thank you for contacting Ashford. The watch is Blue & Orange, with black case and rubber band (not orange band), as listed.
ME: What color are the tritium tubes imbedded in the dial, hands and bezel in the dark?
ASHFORD: The tritium tubes embedded in the dial are white (surrounded in silver), hands are the same, and bezel is black.

This seems like a deal, but looks like specs are all messed up. According to Vulcain website it's 42x10 mm, and definitely no alarm function. But the dials are nice...

This is a nice video of the watch. It certainly looks like a true moonphase to me.
This is a heck of a deal on an uber-deep diver. Don’t confuse this bad boy with other versions of the Engineer Hydrocarbon! Monoblock titanium case with a titanium/SS bracelet, COSC, 3000 meter rated (10,000 ft) with a helium relief valve, anti-magnetic, shockproof to 7500 G’s, three color tritium tubes (blue, orange, yellow) and some sort of hardcoat on the case and bracelet that makes it extremely scratch resistant. The AR coated domed sapphire crystal is almost 1/4” thick.
I piked one up at a pawnshop a few months ago and love it! I’ve been wearing it on and off since then it barely has a mark on it. It’s surprisingly light and built like a tank. It’s been discontinued, but it was a heck of a deal even at full MSRP.
There were 3 available when I posted this. Now sold out. Anyone here get one?
I hope someone here did, those were a steal. I logged off early and missed out. Not sure I would have bought but would have liked to have had the chance.
You may not have made a bunch on resale but you wouldn’t have lost any money if it was flipped.
