I noticed a number of watches on both Puretime and Intime (I hope it's okay to post their images here) bearing the name "Ballon Bleu 36mm SS V6F." Each of these bears an interesting texture on the dial--wavy horizontal stripes (which, after some looking, I'm told are called "Geneva stripes").
My question is this: no matter where I search for Ballon Bleu 36mm, I can't seem to find a gen watch that actually looks like this. Is this a mislabelling? Does anyone know what design these watches are based on?
