Looking to get my first expensive watch and have my eye on either a HMS 003 or an Aquascaphe. Thoughts on quality, personal experiences with them? Thanks in advance.

Baltic watches are super solid. I wouldn't have any worries about buying from them.

Personally I’d keep saving for a genuine vintage watch that Baltic likes to model themselves after

Love them. I’ve bought two for myself and two for friends and family. Just a lot of watch off the money.

I love my MR01 a lot. It’s a super unique watch at the price point and it’s a regular go to for suit days.

I am sorely disappointed by my MR01. It looks nice but feels like it came out of a cereal box.

Love the designs, can't stand the super cheap Chinese movements and I just really don't understand that choice. I know I'll never buy one.

Have personally held and tried on some of their watches. Their quality and finishing is very good for their price. They use common movement and regulate their own watches before sending it to you. I own a Bicompax 003 and will probably be adding the Aquascaphe dual crown in the near future.

I like my Aquascaphe!

Also, lots of past threads on this sub discussing Baltic. If you do a quick search you’ll find plenty of the good, bad and ugly.

I own an Aquascaphe and paired with a rubber strap it's my go-to summer watch.
I sent it for revision last week and had a very positive experience dealing with their support team to organize the shipping.

I got my aquascaphe about 2 months ago and have been very happy with it so far. I got a steel one, but the bronze and titanium look very cool too. Couldn't get over how great the blue gilt looks though!
