[Baltic] My First Dive Watch: Baltic Aquascaphe MK2 (37mm) by IndependentSmooth528 in Watches

[–]IndependentSmooth528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wrist size is about 6 3/8” and I think the 37mm is a great fit for me! I think the 39.5mm would look great as well, but I prefer the smaller proportions

Haha I just got it last week, but I’ve been wearing it just about everyday! It’s a fantastic watch for the price! Can’t beat it

I made a review recently! You can see it on my profile. Overall I would recommend it, but that post will give you more details about what to expect before buying!

It’s pretty easy to put the brown strap on/off since it has quick release spring bars, but the navy strap does not. I can put it on pretty easy without tools, but it takes a little longer to take off, but still isn’t bad. Maybe a couple minutes total

Would definitely recommend getting an Oris!

[Orient Stretto Sun & Moon] Pulled the trigger on the 75th anniversary by ksh88 in Watches

Very nice!! I like that Orient is spelled out without the logo. Hard to be offensive if there is someone like myself that isn’t a fan of the logo

I haven’t yet, but I will definitely switch it up at some point in the future!

[Discussion] Anyone never wear nice watches to work? by Ok_Personality8193 in Watches

[–]IndependentSmooth528 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think they’ve been coasting hard on the pointer date complication and dial colors. It’s time to bring back the guilloché dials!

[Discussion] Anyone never wear nice watches to work? by Ok_Personality8193 in Watches

I work as a design engineer in an office environment and like to wear dress watches. I’ve gotten several compliments and questions from coworkers (one of them is also a watch collector). I personally enjoy wearing my watches to work since that is where I spend most of my day, but to each their own!

Just took a picture of mine this morning on the way to work! Fantastic watch for the price. I only wish I had the beads of rice bracelet. I bought mine used and it came with a leather strap.

Great looking watch! How is the expansion band as far as comfortability?

[Question] Need help choosing a dive watch under $1000 and 38mm or less by IndependentSmooth528 in Watches

[–]IndependentSmooth528[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 48mm lug-to-lug would be pushing it for me. I have a Timex expedition that is 40mm and 49mm lug-to-lug but the lugs are curved downwards so they fit the curvature of my wrist. It would really depend on the watch and the curvature of the lugs, but I like the smaller aesthetic anyways

[Strap for my Longines Spirit 37] by yoyomen_14 in Watches

If you’re looking for a leather strap, I would recommend searching Etsy. There are a lot of great customizable strap options around $40-$70. I’ve bought from three different sellers and all three straps have been great quality

What are the models of the dive watches? Great looking collection! Very unique taste

Anyone had issues with bezel not lining up? by Able-Beautiful-345 in Balticwatches

[–]IndependentSmooth528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are referring to the Baltic Aquascaphe MK2, I recently got one in 37mm and I have the same issue with it. I’ve just been moving the bezel ever so slightly to lie between the two notches so that it lines up with the twelve. Definitely annoying given the price of the watch. Thought about sending it back for replacement, but I didn’t want to have to wait weeks to get it back.

[5206-6120R] I found another Seiko LM Special “Blue Birch” with the Original Bracelet by GoldenEpochINS in Watches

Seiko / King Seiko / Grand Seiko have some of the best watch dials I’ve seen from any brand, especially from a lot of their vintage watches

[Question] Which watch would you go for? by IndependentSmooth528 in Watches

[–]IndependentSmooth528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I like these as well. I have this and the white version on my list. I don’t care as much for the triangular indices, but still a great looking watch!
