Sorry to resurrect the **** talk but I was curious about these watches based on the discussion of their age. I emailed Gemination and they told me they are new watches made in late 2019.
I would genuinely doubt that as Ball Watch Co. has not made quartz watches since Jeff Hess has been president, predating early/mid 2000's.
Is Jeff Hess still the President?

Maybe it's the Hercules? It would fit the description in the FB video.

Your hunch appears to be correct. I am not disappointed.

ABTW’s review also states a SW-300. Very tempting at that price - lower than any recent used pricing I’ve been able to find. Hard to find a decent triple-date moonphase much lower.
It's probably got to be the Sellita SW-300 (ETA 2892 clone) because that's a relatively thin movement and with the Dubois Depraz 9000 module on top you would need a thin movement to get the case height down to 12mm. As for parts... well others use that module, so I can't imagine it would be that difficult. Besides it's not like B&M is a micro-brand. They've been around long enough it's not like BM is going to suddenly take a crap. :lol:

There are a lot of good deals posted here and sometimes there are smoking hot deals posted here. This is one of those smoking hot deals. The price was this low for a short period four years ago and has been nowhere near this low since then. I ordered last night and my watch has already shipped. There are 18 left at this price. Here are a couple of reviews:

Did anyone else order one of these? Seller “Luxury Bazaar” appear to be trying some shenanigans, per this email I just received regarding my order:
Due to an Amazon listing issue, the item you were presented and ordered is not the intended item. I apologize for the inconvenience and would like to see how we can best remedy this. Attached, you will find an image of the proper watch associated with your order. While very similar, this is a blue version with a slightly different dial.
Should you still be interested, of course we will continue to process your order. However, should you prefer to cancel this order - we would be happy to do so as well.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance in the meantime!

I ordered the watch and figured this e-mail was coming because when I went to track my shipment on Amazon it showed me a picture of this lovely women's watch. Oh well, it seems like they made a mistake and will credit us back. No harm, no foul in my book. It did seem like a deal too good to be true.

No experience but Luxury Bazaar is owned by Roman Sharf, I think.

Wow, cool. Yes, you are correct that this is Roman's company, they use the same logo on Amazon. I love his YouTube content. I'll have to call him and see if he'll just substitute an AP Royal Oak to make things right for me! :lol: So far they have been very quick with e-mail communication.

They’ve told me they are going to cancel and refund. Oh well. Knowing some folks that sell on Amazon, the initial communication smells a bit like them trying to avoid the negative hit from Amazon for their error, but as long as I get the refund I can’t complain too much. All it cost me was a couple of days’ excitement over a good deal. [emoji846]

I think it is a legit listing error. Something strange is going on with that listing. I got shipping notification early yesterday (the label was created) and when I went to track it a picture of this blue women's quartz watch popped up. That was more than 24 hours before getting the cancellation e-mail. Something was amiss with Amazon here. I still tried to get Roman to substitute an AP Royal Oak, but the rep just laughed it off like it was a joke or something. :D

Is that an integral bracelet? I might be in for one, but not if I can’t swap bracelets.

It has what appears to be drilled lugs but it also appears that your stuck with with an odd band configuration.

Would a NATO band work on that? The inner dimension of the lugs look narrow.

I don't see a problem, what's your issue? That's a lovely Classima 10226 diamond dial moon phase quartz in 36.5mm. I am sure it will look lovely on your girly wrist! :lol:

Oh well, it seems like they made a mistake and will credit us back. No harm, no foul in my book. It did seem like a deal too good to be true.
I'm the one who originally posted this deal here... :roll: all I can do is to ask for your mercy, please don't shoot the messenger!

I ordered this watch and was very excited about getting it since it would be a top piece of my collection. After researching it including the manual I had second thoughts about the purchase once I read the extremely detailed setting procedure. I realize that a watch with such complications wouldn't be quick to set but found the process so involved that I really doubt I'd wear it very often. Since mine hadn't yet shipped I reluctantly submitted a request through Amazon to please cancel the order. They responded promptly on Sunday confirming that they would process it as requested and then today I received the Amazon cancellation email. Before it was actually cancelled I clicked on the track button and also saw that Classima diamond dial model and wondered what was going on. :? At least nobody who ordered should have been charged for it since they never shipped, although you'll probably still see the authorization amount pending on your account until it drops off.
