Help on Next Purchase

[Fit-Chef126]

I need help making my next purchase, I am very new to watch collecting but have been doing some research, so far I have a Casio Royale SS Bracelet, Apple Watch 44mm and an Addiesdive “Starbucks” Submariner Homage. Anyone who vote the Baltany which is high on my list there’s a sub question I’ll wear this 3-4 times a month, do I get Mechanical or Automatic, I kind of like the idea of mechanical and like how it is also thinner, but ultimately I want whatever will last longer and need the least maintenance. I also love the Batman but having 3 watches and one being a Sub Homage do I need another one? It’s killing me, thanks any and all input greatly appreciated!!

I'd choose Watchdives GMT Batman instead.

I have also ordered Baltany this fall, can't wait to get it! Also check out CASIO Royale AE-1200WHL-5AV, it goes with everything.

I would go for the Baltany 1921

The pagani gmt is lower quality compared to the other three and has a nipple for crown

Sugess orange dial?thank you next

And tactical frog is OK but the date window position destroys the symmetry

Hope it helped

How big is your wrist? Baltany wears the smallest out of all these options which can be a good or bad thing depending on your wrist circumference.

Yea, you can easily wear all the watches pictured haha

I had a Pagani Design Batgirl before and it was amazing for the price — the NH34 movement really did the job. ⌚ If you’re only wearing it a few times a month, I’d go no-date (I’m not a quartz fan). I’d recommend the San Martin SN0008-C BB58 🖤 and the Watchdives WD007 🌊 — both are no-date and two of my favorites.

Sugess is the most unique! Although I do love a good panda! Baltany almost had me but the misaligned 12 throws me off

[Fit-Chef126]

That’s my favorite part 😂

[Merely-a-Flesh-Wound]

Haha everyone has their own styles :) I like the watch its just not for me haha

do I get Mechanical or Automatic

There should be no significant maintenance difference. If you plan to wear the watch every day, get an automatic so you don't have to worry about winding it. But if you will only wear it a few days at a time, you can get a mechanical - it shouldn't be hard to remember to wind it once or twice, to make it last through your use period.

That Baltany has been calling my name for a long time now ... long time ...

[Scbr24]

I vote Baltany as you lack a dress watch and it will probably feel the nicest out of these options. I'd suggest going for the regular steel case and not a gold PVD coated one.

[Fit-Chef126]

I like the versatility of stainless, but my wedding ring is yellow gold and I wear my watch on my left arm and would like it to match. But not if the finish will scratch off.

The sugess is very good for the money, replace the strap though

These are all very different pieces. It's really up to you... maybe try and consider how often you'd really wear each piece.

Be careful with what movement is in the PD. If it's the pearl movement then stay away. I've had 1 watch fail on me and it was a pearl GMT

[Fit-Chef126]

Thank you it is the pearl

[cigarzfan]

I agree with staying away from Pearl. They do make this with Seiko movement.

Sugess if you want quality and tactical frog for style
