To anyone thinking of buying, this looks even better than in photos/videos. It's simply stunning.

I had this one in myself and loved it! I think vintage homages are really the right direction for Baltany, they're nailing it so far

Much prefer this version to the quartz one. I liked the look of the quartz (except for the quartz second tick) but this one has smashed it out of the park. Big fan of cathedral hands and the colour of the lume has nailed the old school radium look.

Oh my gosh, I love this watch! I would buy it in a heart beat! Beautiful. If they put lines on the back it would hopefully take away from the scratches. WOW 🎉

Thanks for the revue, love the design of the watch. The gold trim on the polished silver with the vintage style dial, the square case makes it unique unlike everyone else’s watch.
Very handsome watch

Baltany are really hitting the mark with their latest offerings. I got one their pilot chronographs in the last Ali sale. Excellently made and looks fantastic.

What a beauty Mike, and the watch isn't too shabby either!

Love this kind of retro, have got two Vario 1918 trench retro’s. Superb video Mike, stay well.

Great review Mike. Your production of the videos is top notch. This watch is a winner, they really nailed it.

I just found Brew watches and was blown away, they are stunning designs. Affordable too.

It’s been my experience that square and cushion case watches wear slightly larger (usually about 2mm larger). Also, I believe the “hoop style lugs” you mentioned are called “fixed lugs”. Great review.

I've got a couple of Baltany watches - an A-11 homage that my wife bought me last year for my birthday and the dirty dozen homage with the same movement as this and I love both of them. I've seen this one also, but it had passed me by. I think I might be buying a third Baltany, now.

Impressive review, really enjoyed your enthusiasm and attention to detail. Definitely above a lot of other watch channels here on YouTube. Bell activated!

I have worn mine swimming and in the sea mine is a quartz and plane dile without a name but no sign of water damage what so ever fantastic watch three months old now so dont now weather its just luck but could buy another if anything goes wrong so fingers crossed there Very well made

Really like this one Michael. It looks good and it shows how spot on the early designs were/are.
It will benefit from a rub of emery on the back to lose the mirror finish. I can see the case probably needing a similar treatment after a few months continuous wear.
For the money it's a lot of watch.

Nice looking watch, thanks for the video. Very tempted to buy one of their others, they use some good movements.

- Love it too Young Mike - I have a quartz version, silver brushed face with blued handset mounted on a Vero Bund tan strap that is a wee favorite ... so i'm vaccilating about buying an auto 'twin' on my pension! - Great review as ever so off to see your other look. Cheers.

[Nachtgedicht]

Great review as always, and also a great watch. Black and gold is an all-time winner. Can't await the next Ali sale 😀

I am new to vintage style watches and recently discovered your channel Subscribed! Could you recommend which one you would go for - if you had around 350 pounds to spend on your first or one and only vintage watch? I am struggling between this Baltany and the Vario 1918 trench in Brass. Prefer a smaller under 40mm case!

I like the look of this watch. Thanks for posting
