I'm relatively new to the watch game and I'm picking out my next watch. I came across the Baltic MR01 and I think the dial of this watch is absolutely gorgeous and I think the movement looks really cool also.
The thing is, I couldn't help but think why other major brands don't use movements like this until a much higher price point. Why do other automatic movements in this price range look rather bland in comparison? The other watches I could find with a beautiful movement like this were 2 - 3 times the price. (I'm thinking of the nomos club ref #: 703.1 and Hamilton aviation pilot pioneer ref #: H76719530
TLDR: what's the catch with this watch?
Can anyone share what it is like to purchase direct from Baltic to the US? Are the taxes, fees, shipping, customs stuff complicated?
Bought an HM002 from them. No taxes, shipped and received within a week. Shipping is free above (I think?) $80 which all their watches are over so you’ll def get free shipping.
