Win Free Stuff: Ball and Buck’s New Active + Collection for the Outdoorsman

By Cator Sparks March 22, 2017

With spring right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking shorts again. Our friends at Ball and Buck have come out with a new active collection that has us stoked for summer.

Creating the highest-quality goods, Ball and Buck is a brand for the sporting gentleman while supporting American jobs in manufacturing. But don’t think this is some out of reach brand for hedge fund managers and tech-bros. Founded in 2008, these guys live the life and know what works. And, even though the brand is American made, the prices aren’t through the roof.

To get you pumped for warmer weather, our friends at Ball and Buck are giving away two items from their newest Active + Collection: the Active Short + and the Anglers Shirt +.

THE 6 POINT ACTIVE SHORT +

Made with 3.4oz Nylon Taslan fabric, these shorts have a quick-dry water repellent finish. We are fans of the adjustable waistband, the antique brass button fly, and mesh pocket inserts for drainage for when you cannonball into the local lazy river (just take out your phone first).

THE ANGLERS SHIRT +

This water resistant, lightweight shirt features both button up sleeves and a roll-tab breast pocket to attach Ball and Buck’s Versa Fly Patch to keep your flies safe when you’re spending your days out on the water.

For your shot at a chance to win this $275 value (in the form of some damn sharp quick dry shorts and light weight anglers shirt), simply provide your name and email below. You can also get bonus entries by following us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and signing up for our newsletter. The contest runs from March 22, 2017 through March 29, 2017, with the winner notified shortly thereafter.

Although watches tend can come in various colors and designs, they are timeless and elegant. These sleek accessories have earned their spot in all wardrobes as they make for the perfect touch to any look and make for a wonderful collection to start. However, when it comes to the overall make and model of watches, it’s rare to see them stray from the typical design. That notion is being tested and challenged by Vacheron Constantin, who has designed the world’s most complicated watch.

Although it seems like a tall task, Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers - The Berkley Grand Complication is unlike any timepiece you’ve seen yet. True to its word, this watch contains intricacies that you won’t find anywhere else, truly giving it the moniker of the world’s most complicated watch. With stellar craftsmanship and unique details, this watch is about to become a stellar item for any watch collector.

The pre-owned luxury watch market is down, but prices for these 2 Rolexes are up

Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi

According to the Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks the 50 most traded luxury watches, the pre-owned luxury watch market moved down around 0.1% last month, marking the sign of a patient market that wants more. This isn't necessarily surprising —the index has fallen 8.7% in the past year. But there are a couple of Rolex watches that are bucking the trend: the Rolex Starbucks and the Rolex Pepsi, which gained 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.

The overall stagnation of the watch market can have various factors, including anticipation for newer releases. External factors like economic and geopolitical conflicts have also affected the way consumers choose to purchase watches. Prices soared during the pandemic, so a leveling out at some point was expected.
