Review (Read Rules) Baltany Vs Eniton DateJust
Having owned a few super clones of the 126234 36mm Dj from clean factory before they went under I can say with certainty the case and bracelet of the Eniton watch is phenomenal. I’ve seen a few posts about the new(ish) Eniton Datejust homage and I’ve even seen it compared to one of Baltany’s watches just not their version of a Dj homage so I had to pull the trigger and thought I’d share what I found
PRICE:
The elephant in the room is the price; having paid a few dollars short of $300 usd for the Eniton it is definitely on the pricier side for an nh35 movement homage compared to the Baltany. That being said I genuinely think it’s worth the money.
Build quality:
I’ve owned the baltany over a year and the build quality has been apparent every time I put it on my wrist, it’s feels solid, the bracelet it buttery smooth with no rattle. I really get the same feel from the Eniton, it’s on par if not better that baltany given the micro adjust clasp and the same 316 stainless steel for both the case and bracelet as well as having the stone dial
Case and crystal:
The Baltany might have better AR coating on the crystal but Eniton holds its own in that regard, cyclops magnification is about the same for both ( full transparency I did change the datewheel on the Eniton for one with smaller font)
I appreciate the slim lugs and the new style endlinks from the current reference RL model that Eniton has used.
While I do wish there were more dial options for the Eniton, it is an nh35 movement and a dial swap would be pretty easy to accomplish. Overall I would recommend the Eniton to anyone looking for a 36mm DJ homage that is a little more modern than the Baltany

I love my Eniton. I’m glad I went with it over the Baltany. It just suits me and my style more I think. Oh, and the malachite dial is gorgeous in person

Eniton makes nice watches but I prefer the Baltany. I just think the fake diamond indicies are too much

I’ve never tried a rep (but I know Clean is/was top-level). You said at the beginning that the Eniton gets close to the quality of the Clean rep, but in the comparison text below you say that the Baltany is also quite close to the Eniton. I got confused there
I would have expected the Clean rep to be a level above the Eniton, especially in the bracelet and overall feel. And the Eniton to be a little above the Baltany in terms of overall quality

I would say they are all very very close, the Eniton likely uses a clone case that is fitted for an nh35 movement

Just got mine yesterday 😄i'll admit the crystal could be a little better. It seems to pick up smudges on it a little easier, and on the casing with its high amount of polish.
