    As the title says, I'm selling my blue gilt dial Baltic Aquascaphe. The ONLY reason I'm selling it is that I unexpectedly won another blue-dial sport watch in a local charity auction raffle (an Orion Hellcat, made by my local watchmaker!!!), and I've happily offered to "pay it forward" by selling this great piece to raise money for the same charity. 100% of my net proceeds will be donated to charity, supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). I'll be happy to supply a copy of my donation receipt to the lucky buyer!

    The watch is 39mm wide without the crown, and waterproof - great for the beach, pool, shower, or just everyday life. It's a complete set - original inner and outer boxes, beads of rice bracelet with quick release spring bars (very cool feature), unworn Tropic strap and buckle, extra links, springbar tool and warranty booklet (dated 6/2019). The only minor blemishes I can see are light scuffs on the clasp from normal wear that I imagine could be buffed out with a little effort if anyone cares - but I didn't want to mess with them. Otherwise, the case, dial, crystal, and case back all appear to be in excellent condition (the watch is less than 17 months old), and the watch runs perfectly. Full details about the movement, case, dial and measurements can be found on the Baltic Watches website.

    New, with the bracelet and strap, I believe the watch sells for just under US$1,000 these days. I'll sell it for $595, via PayPal friends and family or Venmo, and will include shipping in the continental US (or face to face for anyone in the Philadelphia area). International shipping costs and logistics would be subject to further discussion with any potential buyer. Please look at the pictures and feel free to ask any questions, as any sale is final, no returns (as I'll be making the charitable donation as soon as any sale is completed).

    Thanks!
