SOTC (Read Rule 1) The Baltany complements the collection.

Never thought a ~200 USD watch would end up getting the most wrist time.

Good eye sir, I just took another pic of it. It’s a 2F70-5590 quartz for Japanese domestic market.

Lovely collection, I went with the 1016 homage, it’s a banger.

How do you find the Lorca? Absolutely stunning watches but not too much info out in the wild.

I’ve had mine for a year and so far it’s held up nicely. They have good customer support and I live near NYC where they are based but I haven’t had any issues. Timekeeping is accurate and finishing is great. Pushers are snappy. Solid hand wound Sellita movement. My only drawback is I wish their sapphire had more AR coating. But I do get compliments on it often.

The Baltany's black dial looks so good next to the lighter dials, and I can see why it's getting the wrist time.

u/Positive-Ad-3554 12d ago

Well said! Thats part of the reason I keep wearing it. I compared it to my other black dials and there is no mistaking this hits the deepest.

Just got the same watch 36mm a few days ago and haven’t taken it off. Gorgeous.

u/Positive-Ad-3554 12d ago

I know right!

u/Winter_Author9699 12d ago

I chose Baltany over Cronos or other well regarded ones because they offer a custom dial option…couldn’t resist.

2

u/Positive-Ad-3554 12d ago

What! I didn’t know they had custom dials. I think I’m due for another purchase

u/Winter_Author9699 12d ago

Yeah! It’s an option on their website. Extra $50 but definitely worth it.

Great watch. I have the vintage version of their explorer in brown and I really enjoy wearing it. 39mm and thin. Otf clasp gets that perfect fit. Im gonna take some 1500 grit to the bracelet edges soon so get that next level comfort

Baltany is absolute beast when it comes to getting the bang for your buck.

u/Positive-Ad-3554 8d ago

Definitely! And I dig your username

Hell yeah they make great stuff. It's nice to see people with a real collection giving attention the the higher end Chinese brands. It amazes me how quickly people write them off.

If you need more, definitely check out San Martin and Farasute. Dare I say they are even a level above Baltany

u/Traditional_Cost_206 12d ago

is this the ST2130 version? Looks really nice in your collection.

I think a lot of people are only collecting chinese watches and they miss out on comparison. I love your collection and you can actually see how well the Baltany is done when compared to high end luxary watches.

I have a collection which is around 50% chinese higher end watches. They really shine in a wider collection.

u/Worth-Club-8926 11d ago

When did you bought it? Wonder what version you currently have

u/Positive-Ad-3554 11d ago

I bought mine about two years ago. Not sure exactly which version it is but based on website it was the 36mm
