After 8 months of waiting, I retrieved the watch from DHL this morning, stopped at the watchmaker to install the extra bracelet links and voila. Pics are a little tough on this grey day. Overall the finishing is great for a $700 watch. Of note are the blue sunburst dial, super legible lumed markers and hands, case brushing and a much improved bracelet clasp. Setting is smooth as is the movement of the internal bezel. As usual Baltic did a great job of communication from ordering to delivery, including managing expectations due to supply chain delays.
Its been sharing wrist time with my RG JLC Master Calendar. Overall I’m very pleased. I was concerned that I would not like the compressor case but Baltic did such a nice job with design and finishing. I love the bracelet. As far as aqua work, that will have to wait till next year.
