I have this watch with the silver dial. Baltany also makes this watch with a NH35. I sit and look at it and wonder what if Baltany put a 12/24 hour dial on it and used the new NH34. A blued GMT hand shaped like the normal hour hand.
I came across this watch quite a few times on AliExpress. The dial reminded me of vintage watches with a strongly patinaed dial. Your macro footage suggests there is also a subtle shimmer to it and the applied numerals sparkle nicely. The only thing is dislike is the plain and polished caseback. It immediately translates to an eyesore covered in scratches in my head. For me that gorgeous piece of crystal proves the argument you need acrylic to get a nice and clear vintage look à la Lorier to be utter BS!
yeah, they are really great. doing something nobody else is doing and I love them for that. their execution is also top-notch. I never get a Baltany expecting a V2 to come
I could never click with that case....just too tall and chunky. The Merkur W10 is much nicer looking (IMO of course) but no doubt the Baltany would be a nicer watch.
Hey, man, you may want to update the affiliate link, I tried it and it told me that the product isn't available, but the watch is still there in the official store. Finally, great review! This will be my newest addition
Appreciate the heads up. The link worked for me but the watch listed was $365 😲. Updated the link. Should be a few bucks cheaper tomorrow (new sale) Also, thanks for the kind words, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it. Such a cool watch
Very nice vid, thanks for that! You missed no aspect of the watch, all details included 👍. I have to wait for the 40mm version (8,5 inch wrist 😟), Go on!
Very sophisticated watch for the price 👍😎. I love the gold affect. & They didn't go down the road with a date window. Can you tell me the what the music on the intro is called please thank you
thanks for watching! as for the music, I'm not really sure. I can't possibly keep all my videos, so I delete the info for theme very 6 months or so. I typically use of of about 30 tracks, but I don't know which one this is...not one I usually use, so sorry, but I don't know. I get my music from Bensound.com or the youtube studio music library....everything is free, so I'd start there if you want to put some time into figuring out what it is.
Sweet review. I haven't considered Baltany yet, but you are tempting me. It has a great vintage feel. Dial almost looks cork. I wonder what it would look like on a bracelet.
I'd go for the silver linen dial, but this is very nice small watch too. Interesting "sandy" elegant dial and nice blue seconds hands. Funny enough, while you were showing the smooth polished backcase, saying it's really comfortable, i was thinking exactly the opposite (having in mind my Pulsar solar watch), as i sweat a lot. It all makes the watch stick on my wrist sometimes, not pleasant at all mate! Cheers Steve, be well mate, thanks for the review. PS Talking of silver dials, that Sanda (Tank homage) amazed me, even in totally dark conditions, with just a "hair" of light you can read the time, very easily! Makes me wonder why all us watch freaks make all this fuss about lumed hands.... 😋
I can agree about the all polished caseback, it's not my favorite. I think when I was saying that I was mostly talking about haveing zero sharp edges touching the wrist.
100% on board with this. It's beautiful and simple
it's so nice. they nailed it!
Just expecting it would be 38 * 9,5 * 20 mm. Tell them please. Cheers
haha, I'll pass it along. that would be some really nice dimensions

oh, that would be pretty cool...
Very nice mate, the vintage look is done so well and that dial colour is just so pleasing. Nicely done
Thanks, Wes! I'd like to see the linen dial in person, I'm sure it's equally as nice.
I think this watch would look great with a light brown lizard skin strap. I love the vintage dial. ❤

It's really hard to beat a nice acrylic crystal....but this is 90% of the way there with a million percent more practicality
I really like the style of watches that Baltany are producing. I'm definitely going to have to add one to my collection.
yeah, they are really great. doing something nobody else is doing and I love them for that. their execution is also top-notch. I never get a Baltany expecting a V2 to come
Lovely watch but too small for me. I prefer the 40mm size in most watches
Baltany are knocking it out the park,this is just one of theirs that's tempting me right now
agreed. hoping to get the newer cushion cased 1926 model as well.
@@EscapeWheel that reminds me of the glycine Eugene meylan
For me, the Baltany W10 is the best of the brand.

@@EscapeWheel Very odd indeed. The price was normal for me, maybe it's just different for my country
Thanks for the video. Great dial/sub-dial. Think a bead blasted case would suit that dial.
Love the NATO on your Tac Frog - can I ask where you got it??

thank you for the compliment...that's what I try and cover no matter the cost of the piece. I'd sure like that dial in a slightly larger case as well.
An absolutely awesome watch. I'm wearing my linen dial one right now.
Great review Steve!
Yeah, I saw yours, looks so good. Waiting for your review.
If its 39 mm case it will be great ❤

@@EscapeWheel thank you for the reply
Great review, mate 👍
Again a great watch from Baltany! I really like this brand.
Thank you! Baltany is up there with the best Ali brands
@@EscapeWheel agree
Very nice looking dial. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Great little video and a really nice looking watch, thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Jer
very nice crystal, by the way what time grapher you use?
It's called "watch accuracy meter" for Android. Uses the microphone to hear the ticks.
Thanks for the video
It´s just mechanical, or also automatic? I love the look of this watch, but too small. Hope they do it 38mm
Automatic as well 👍
@@EscapeWheel thank you
I know it leans to vintage watch but I wish they will do it in 38cm. 36cm is too small for my taste.
Agreed..too small for my fat wrists but I know a lot prefer this size.
Love your review format. These watches look great. I just wish they'd do a larger version. 36mm is just too small on my wrist.
Thank you. I agree, they seem to be starting to do larger cases, let's hope they keep doing it.
A perfect watch in a sense
That's a beautiful crystal.
simple , clean, very legible dial. color scheme looks mature
Sweet review. I haven't considered Baltany yet, but you are tempting me. It has a great vintage feel. Dial almost looks cork. I wonder what it would look like on a bracelet.
If you like the style, they are fantastic watches.
❤
Nice B-roll.
thank you!
Baltany seem to have this corner of the market sewn up - there are some stunning pieces.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Steve.
Indeed they do. Love what I've been seeing.

it's almost perfect watch, but 36 mm? my wrist is over 8 inches. s this some kind of mockery?
Baltany is making waves in AliExpress land! Nice review.
they are just nailing their designs. doing something different and NOT screwing them up!
BALTANY EXCELENTE RELÓGIO BEAUTIFUL WATCHES 👍 🇧🇷
Great watch.... but too small.... 39mm is the best for a man..
Depends on the man, I guess.
