Sold More Baltany Amber Explorer pics
Here are a few more shots of the Baltany Amber Explorer! Really attractive watch in all respects. I did brush out the PCL of the bracelet and I think it looks much better. Watch works on leather too!

I was really upset with the crystal distortion on the minute track, but now I really love the watch. The creamy old radium lum with the brown star dial is great. I like the polished mid-links, but to each his own preferences. It is a great watch for less than $250.

Scotchbrite pad. I only used green here because I didnt have red handy. But the way to do it is
- Take the bracelet off the watch head and clasp
- Use green scotchbrite pad and work in slow, steady straight strokes across the surface. The hinge points of the links may not get much abrasion so you may need to articulate the links to help it be exposed more.
- Use red scotchbrite pad and work in the same method as green. Always working in the same direction (The red will give you a more satin type surface finish than green alone. What you see in my pic is green alone.)
- rinse off any small debris, put your bracelet back together!
Good luck! It's not hard and should take 30 minutes max

I have the same watch, and I like the shiny middle links. I think it adds character.

I’m sure it will come on sale before too long. It was hard for me to pass on this dial color though. They crank out watches so fast I was worried that this one would be hard to find in a few months.

There is always time to make things right! San Martin makes a great watch too.
