My choice of the Ball Fireman NightBreaker was based primarily on the online review from Teddy Baldassare (https://teddybaldassarre.com). As it is not currently listed on the Ball website, I’m assuming it has been discontinued.
As Teddy commented, the watch band is well constructed, but on the thick side. I have already replaced it with a Natural Horween Chromexcel pilot watch band from B&R Bands.
I am very pleased with the size, fit and finish. The value/quality is excellent. The watch runs about -4 seconds/day, which is within tolerance of a chronometer certified movement, which this is not.
