r/Balticwatches

Recently added the Baltic and got rid of 6 or 7 lower end pieces I wasn’t wearing. Feels good.

Hi everyone!

I got a Hermetique Tourer last week and I've been noticing this bright spot on the lume-dot under the 6. Am I being unreasonable in asking for a replacement from Baltic?

In the right light it makes the dot look partly green and partly blue during the day, and in the dark it's brighter in the bottom right. It's only like this on the dot under the 6 - all the other dots are uniform.

Thanks for the advice!

Hi, I have a Salmon MR01. I've recently bought the beads of rice bracelet for it (2 wider side links with 5 beads in the centre) from eBay. It arrived today and it's too small for me! Does anyone have any spare links I could buy? I only need 2 (I think). Alternatively, where could I get a couple? I've tried eBay (UK) with no luck.

Also, does anyone know who makes the leather straps for Baltic? I'll probably get a couple from Baltic, but if anyone knew where I could get the same for a bit cheaper, that would be great.

Thanks

Got the Aquascaphe GMT a few months back to take as a travel watch and this week was its inaugural voyage(to Portugal). Where better to take a photo of it than in front of a monument to discovery and by extension adventure?!

I'm not sure if everyone else loves this watch as much as I do. But damn it is cool.

Basically the title. I love the new Seconde Majeure but I am very unsure about the dimensions and if it would fit comfortably my wrist. But I am in Berlin and nowhere near a showroom or an AD with Baltic watches. It’s the first jump hour watch I felt in love with, but 3000€ for a watch k am unsure about and just a two day window to buy is a pass for me.

I'm absolutely in love with this watch. It looks sophisticated, minimalistic and elegant. Some could even say it looks too pretty for a tool oriented watch. Anyhow, thanks to the omission of a date window, the dial retains symmety and proportion. Double domed crystal looks stunning.The high degree of curvature, combined with good AR application on both sides really elevates the aesthetic whilst adding a retro charm to the watch. Frankly, just watching that smooth sweeping lollipop hand glide over that gorgeous dial alone brings me joy.

Here are some pros and cons for those interested in buying this watch:

Pros: Great dial design and finishing, tight and clicky bezel, BOF bracelet looks good, though leaves a lot to be desired in the construction department. Strong lume performance. Did I mention I like the double domed glass?

Cons: I wish the bracelet tapered just a little bit more. Clasp is okay but feels kind of cheap and wobbly. It's a significant downgrade compared to the clasp on my Murph. Bezel action is a bit stiff and it's ever so slightly misaligned. Power reserve is kinda short.

I don't know why but I'm more attracted to this watch than any of my other watches! I love a couple of them almost as much, but my Baltic gets the most wrist time by far. I'm even thinking about selling off a couple of my other watches just because I see no point in having watches I don't wear. The odd thing is, my Aquascaphe isn't even that accurate compared to my other pieces, I lose like 15 seconds per day, but it doesn't bother me. It just looks so good, it goes with every outfit, it's versatile, and, I mean, just look at it!!

Got a new strap today for the MR01 and it might be my daily for awhile 🤝
