Very nice. I have noticed in the short time I have been here, that you have very good taste and a great eye for watches
I have a motto I live my life by. What would Charlie do? #WWCD

New arrival. Wanted to check out Baltic and couldn't pass up this one at the price. Overall I'm pretty impressed. The dial is incredibly difficult to photograph as it's quite reflective, and the blue hands look amazing when they catch the light right, but again, hard to capture this in photos without washing out the dial. Size is perfect. The finishing is far better than one would expect for the price, although the movement, not having hacking, is clearly where money has been saved. Realistically, it's not going to displace the Grand Seiko on my wrist anytime soon, but will be a great option for when I don't want to wear an expensive watch.

Congrats buddy! What is the movement in this one?

Well there was me thinking you'd found my limit with the pistachiograph. Very special indeed. 😜

Well, I didn't want to say that exactly.... but I guess that would be a ringing endorsement of your excellent taste, so umm.... yeah.

It's not my cup of tea either, but if you like it, my opinion is irrelevant 😀.

Ah! Did you see this one on eBay? If so, you’re the one who picked it up! I was close to pulling the trigger, but ultimately had to let it go. Looks wonderful on the wrist. Totally agree about the dial. Wonderful, mysterious look! How is the lug to lug on the wrist? Tried one of their divers when I was in Paris last time, and just didn’t feel like it sat right. The three handers fit a little different, no?

Yes, no problem with the lugs at all, and it's a reasonably slim fit, no wobbling. Wears really well.

Didn't get it from eBay - was from a London-based dealer.

Whyyyy and how? I am so eager to get the Aquascaphe and the dimensions of it seems to be perfect, at least on paper
