The engraving on the caseback is the same as what original a-11 watches had, so I personally appreciate that touch, but to keep it truly authentic, it should have a sterile dial (as per the original spec) and drilled lugs were a requirement of the original spec so it would be nice to see here. Overall I think it’s a nice execution at a great price 😊
Very nice looking watch. But, lately I've noticed the price of Chinese brand watches are increasing in price, to the point that I'm considering paying a little bit more for a Swiss brand, or equivalent.
Nice looking watch but I think it would look more balanced if the name “BALTANY” was a bit lower, putting it halfway between the “12” and the centre of the dial.
Thanks for the review, really useful level of detail. What's your opinion please on it stating 600ft instead of 660ft, do you think this is deliberate or a typo?
Perhaps most of the money goes to the complication of the case manufacturing. Not every fancy watch should by default come with a bracelet if it fits the complication and specifications of the style, no?
Would you consider a video to deliver a good overview list of brands you believe to provide consistent quality? From what I watched, Octopus Kraken, Baltany, San Martin seem to be part of the list with Pagani being good on the lowtier. What other brands would should we be on the look out on aliX?
I think you are a little too crtiical of the case back. Not everyone knows A11 means military watch (I didn't, only started getting into watches about 2 months ago). I also like that there is no branding on the buckle for paying more. To me that is extra advertising that I don't want/need.
Thank you for watching Arthur. The price changes depending on country. When I checked the price in USD its currently showing as 232 USD. Regards, #WR4K
Very good review. I also have this A11 Military style watch. Love it, but will change the strap for a Stainless steel Jubilee bracelet. Not happy with the strap which started to seperate after one day. JANBOY. RN. Rtd.

Waste of money but you do you.
I guess when they say less is more. I like the other Baltany you just reviewed. I really like the looks of it. This one is nice but a bit too small.

Nice little watch. If I wasn’t saving for something else - I’d be very tempted

You are correct. I'll buy.

No. Those brands are the best. Regards, #WR4K
This piece is nice lookingg watch on wrist
This reminds me of the spiritual sequel to the snk809
Some stores claim keaoirus is the same as baltany. Can you confirm this?
Thank you for watching Yannick. No, they are made by different factories. Regards, #WR4K
That's nice
