Ok. I've been staring all day long to the meraud and the baltic and I've come to the conclusion I like the baltic more. It felt really important to share this with you...

 

Better than working

 

True. I dont know why people tried calling me today to ask me for advice while I was thinking about really important stuff like which watch is better...

 

I know that feeling only too well & reminds me of a previous manager of mine , he called me into his office one day & asked me if I would kindly consider working three days a week . Shocked at such a suggestion I quickly replied ," I'm already struggling to work 2 days out of the 5 you pay me for ".

 

Work is overrated... people dont seem to get that...

 

Anyway, back to the important things in life. I think I will take a pre order on that baltic. The big question is, am I going to wear it?

 

Fuck it. I just ordered one... blue gilt.

Good thing about this purchase. In June 2019 I will totally forgot I bought this. Suddenly, bang... postman delivers a new watch out of the blue. That will make my day... I'm investing this way in future luck...

 

Nice thing about this “fuck it” purchase is that it’s 600 bucks or so, not $5k or more.

 

Me too and I got into the first 100 numbered order.

 

i bought a limited edition panda. . i have to be honest it didn't "do it" for me and i re-sold it

that said.. i really want one of these

 

Damn .. I was 20 minutes late!

 

I must say.... really well done Baltic!!! Can’t wait to see one in the flesh but at that price and with that look it’s a fantastic piece!!

 

I'm in! Blue. And should arrive in time for beach season, 2019!

 

surprisingly tempting. any idea if the BOR bracelet and endlinks would fit other watches, like vintage chronos?

 

No idea

 

Very nice write up on HODINKEE today.

I know and the comments (usually somewhat caustic on micro's) are enthusiastic. They have another winner.

 

I’ve been thinking about grabbing this myself. I just got a Seiko for a travel watch, and already wishing I got this instead.

 

You don’t think after a Hodinkee write up today.
