FSOT Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Chronograph Titanium

Up for sale or trade is a Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Chronograph. I got this on a trade just recently, but the white dial isn't really my style. Overall excellent shape, a couple of hairline scratches on the bezel and bracelet links, but no gouges or deep scrapes. Case and crystal are clean, even the clasp is very clean, as the pictures show. Case is titanium, bracelet is Ti/steel. Comes with a wood box, strap change tool, extra links, papers, factory rubber strap and original luminous bezel insert which has been swapped out for a black one for added legibility. The tritium glows very well at night. Previous owner bought this new in 2010.

These have been discontinued by Ball. Original list was over $3000 US. I'm looking for $1875 CDN shipped Xpresspost to your door. EMT preferred.

I'll look at trades, up or down. Not interested in dress watches, only metal bracelet, possibly rubber, no leather please. Something in the 41-44mm size. Very interested in a Breitling Aerospace, but let me know what you have.

*** Please note: Black spot between bottom lugs on bracelet in pic #2 is dirt/lint.

$1700 shipped Paypal net or EMT. Great deal folks, I've never seen one for sale under $1500 US, and this one comes with rubber strap and fancier storage box with accessories like the special screwdriver/bracelet tool normally only found with the Ball "Mad Cow".
