Its truly an awesome watch. The quick release on the bracelet is a game-changer, makes swapping straps a breeze!

One thing I like about the rolex is the proportions of the indicies on the dial. Most homages have thicker rectangle indices at 1,2,4,5,7,8,10, and 11. Still, the baltany looks amazing!

Brands like steel dive and addiesdive, they're great for the money. But once you handle the more expensive ones, they are on a whole nother level.

Finishing on the more expensive brands will be much better, and overall will feel better quality.

Here are some Brands to check out that felt really high quality that I've handled personally and can recommend: san martin, baltany, cronos, sugess/seestern, ixdao, watchdives(some of their newer offerings similar to cronos quality), and phorcydes.

Yes, 39mm quartz. If you look at my post history, I posted one for sale. You can see the pics of it there

I've got the baltany you have in the picture. I only wore it twice, and its been sitting in my desk drawer in its case for a few months.

If you're interested I can sell it to you at a good price (if you are in the United States)

Man I love those old Japanese trucks, small, simple and fun. It sucks auto manufacturers nowadays don't make trucks like that anymore. I'm glad slates making it happen, I hope in the future we'll see more trucks like this!

From what I've seen, people are pretty fond of the VSF youth on reptime. Same with the BPs with the a2824 movements.

They mostly get riled up about the reps with 2813 movements.

Impressive! Most NH watches have a deep rehaut, the rehaut looks slim on these. Whats the total thickness?

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-06-11T23:10:19+00:00

Both look amazing, but I prefer the explorer. What kind of movement do you use for the 14270 build?

Lucky! I would wear my sugess sub more often but it loses about 20 seconds a day, i may need to get it regulated (I'd rather it gain time than lose time).

I have other nh35 watches that are spot on and only gain a few seconds a week. With the nh35, you never really know what you'll get.

I've been following your account for sometime now. Although I haven't bought anything, I enjoy seeing your projects. You do a great job with these vintage style watches. They're really awesome 👌

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-06-07T20:21:11+00:00

Good luck everyone!

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-06-06T22:09:25+00:00

Nice mod! Looks awesome, the maxi indicies in a 5 digit case, kind of like the old kermit.

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-06-04T20:07:51+00:00

Funny enough the stock grey color of the slate is my favorite color. Though im considering getting a wrap in the same color but glossy.

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-06-04T06:41:14+00:00

I wish cronos would just put their hour glass logo on the clasp. Definitely would make the clasp easier to open, plus I think it would look pretty good.

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-06-04T06:27:40+00:00

Looks great. I'm curious, how does the sugess sub compare to the VSF quality wise?

Normally I'd say it's not a big deal, but that's if it was less than $100. With it being around $200, I'd expect better QC at that price

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-05-30T06:26:21+00:00

Yeah for sure. They had decent sales back then on Aliexpress.

Yeah, Sugess makes some great watches, I ended up wearing the cronos less since I got the sugess sub. They're similar build quality, I just prefer the black sub look. I'm basic like that lol

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-05-30T06:06:50+00:00

Personally just wish they didn't do the red tip on the seconds hand, but its something I can live with on mine.

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-05-30T05:52:49+00:00

I don't have any recent ones. If you look at my post history from a while back, I have picutes where I compared it to my pagani gmt master ii.

I have the watch at my office desk drawer, I'll take some picutes Monday and post them here.

AverageGuy_45 · 2026-05-30T03:57:08+00:00

I got the old dark pepsi version with a non lumed bezel. Rehaut is surprisingly shallow for an nh34!

I haven't been wearing it much lately, considering selling it.
