The ball arrived in poor condition, with a visible coating of particulate grime as if the product had been stored outside in rain and left to dry with gritty reside. The cap, which reads “Moisture Seal/Do Not Remove” had fallen off and despite repeated attempts to clean and re-seat would not remain in place.  Finally I had to employ some adhesive, after carefully and thoroughly drying, to attach cap.  This only led to moisture buildup which completely ruined the interior finish, and the ball’s reflective mirror appearance.  It is now a mottled blue mess and headed for the garbage—3 months after arriving!

I would give this zero stars if possible!  It was quite expensive for a piece of junk.
