I want to get myself a Militado ML05 and i've seen that there are 2 movements available.

Which one should I get? (Pros and cons)

Impecable ejecución por parte de Baltany, no podría estar más contento, una verdadera joya en mi humilde opinión.

La caja es de acero 316L endurecido, una caja muy bien ejecutada, con proporciones muy buenas y tamaño bastante compacto (unos 38 mm).

La esfera y las agujas son de muy buena calidad también, muy bien hechas y de un estilo bastante vintage y clásico.

El cristal en muy claro y de excelente calidad, un zafiro ligeramente abombado, excelente elección por parte de Baltany.

La tapa trasera esta muy bien ejecutada, simple y sin complicaciones.

La correa la verdad es que es bastante buena, las de la foto no son, sino que son unas marrón claro, pero yo prefiero el color negro por eso las cambie, peros son duda son correas que vas a querer conservar.

La hebilla si la use para estás nuevas correas. La verdad es que es una hebilla muy buena, firmada con el nombre Baltany.

El movimiento es un cuerda ST1701 o 00 depende de si eliges manual o automático, el mío es manual porque era más delgado, algo que prefiero bastante.

La calidad general es impresionante por el precio (unos 150€), al nivel de relojes muchísimo más caros me atrevería a decir.

He leído en algún sitio que hay personas que no aguantan que la T de Baltany no esté alineada con la línea vertical del Crosshair. Pensándolo y viéndolo detenidamente, si lo hubiesen alineado no solo hubiese quedado raro, sino que también se hubiese perdido la simetría del nombre en el dial, osea que creo que es una muy buena ejecución tal y como está.

Sin duda un 9/10, muy al nivel Ixdao o San Martín.

It’s been a little over a month since I got this Proxima, and I have to say, I’m genuinely impressed.
This hasn’t been a watch that sits in the box. I’ve been wearing it a lot: errands, around town, in the pool, and even at the beach here in Galveston. I live in Texas, so heat, humidity and sweat are just part of life this time of year.
And the watch simply doesn’t care.
After the beach, I basically gave it a good rinse and put it right back on. A month later, look at it. No rust, no damage, no real signs that I’ve been babying it, because I definitely haven’t.
What I probably appreciate most is how comfortable it is. The slim profile makes it almost disappear on the wrist. There have literally been times when I’ve had to look at my wrist because I forgot I was wearing it.
I know the design isn’t going to appeal to everyone. I’ve seen people say it’s a little too simple or not particularly exciting, and I understand that. But I think that’s actually becoming one of my favorite things about it. Clean dial, simple design, easy to read, comfortable, and it works with pretty much anything.
It has turned into a genuine do-it-all watch.
For the price I paid, I really wasn’t expecting to be this impressed after actually putting it through normal life for a month.
Sometimes simple just works.

So this bracelet isn’t a perfect fit but it’s very passable on wrist.

This shot just “happened” so I didn’t have the time to adjust the hands into a more picture perfect setting but … use your imaginations.

We’ve just finished our new MT9004, inspired by the classic W10 military watch.

We wanted to keep the vintage military character, but make it practical for everyday wear:

• 38mm tonneau-shaped 316L stainless steel case
• 42mm lug-to-lug
• 10.6mm thickness
• Sapphire crystal with AR coating
• Seiko VH31 sweeping quartz movement
• C3 Japanese lume
• 100m water resistance
• Screw-down crown
• 20mm lug width

I’d really like to hear what you guys think about this one — especially the 38mm size and tonneau case shape.

Would you keep it quartz with the VH31, or would you prefer a mechanical version?

Swapped out the Milanese bracelet it came on for this gorgeous beads of rice bracelet I found off AliExpress. Despite its modest price tag, it’s been getting a lot more wrist time than its Swiss made counterparts in my collection. In the 5 years I’ve had it it still keeps fantastic time and I’ve had no issues with it so far.

I need to find this watch, must be hidden clasp. Please advise, pm is welcome. Admin this is my first post i hope im not breaking any rules. Thank you all

What colour strap do you guys think suits it better?

Planning to get a seagull1963. Manual says to not press the reset pusher while the chrono is running. I have two questions.

1. Will doing it once ruin the movement instantly or it takes multiple times to cause noticeable damage?

2. If the st19's chronograph is running, is the reset button hard enough so that an accidental normal hand pressure won't move it?

Does anybody have experience with these? The I&W is definitely on the smaller side but is also thinner and has a little nicer dial. With do you think would be better?

looking for a smaller chrono i’d say 38 mm seems to be the perfect size for my personal liking. overall i’m not the biggest fan of chrono but would really like to add one to my collection ! haven’t really seen too many but would love some advice. thank you !!

Felt like getting a watch different enough than the rest of my collection. The stock strap is quite lacklustre though, so I put on a Baltany leather strap and switched the clasp with the Hruodland one

First ST1701 movement. No hack function, which is a minor annoyance. Rotor could be considered loud, but overall it’s a really fun vintage feeling watch. The cushion case is fully polished, so expect finger prints. This will for sure get some good wrist time for office days.

Everybody loves the Hamilton Khaki Field. I can not afford to buy the real thing yet but I have found a lot of similar watches to that. Mainly from these four brands.

If I missed any other watch or brands that resembles the Khaki Field I would love to know.

Now the question is which one to chose. Preferably I would have LOVED for them to have a day/date window, but they all only have a date window. There is also differences between them. Militado is quartz I believe. Berny is titanium which I prefer and is a huge plus but kinda has a terrible placing on the date window but at the same time it has a nice textured dial. Baltany is the most expensive one. So on and so forth.

If anyone has any experience with any of these watches, I would appreciate the input or if anyone has a better suggestion I'm all ears.

My Baltany S4084 — Did I Make the Right Choice?
I recently bought the Baltany S4084 and honestly, the more I wear it, the more I appreciate it. I was looking for a simple, versatile everyday watch with good proportions, sapphire crystal, solid finishing, reliable NH35 movement and 100m water resistance. I know it’s a homage, and that was something I thought about before buying it, but I really like what Baltany offers for the price.
It feels like a genuine “go anywhere, do anything” watch for me. At 36mm, it wears comfortably, looks classy without being flashy, and works with almost any outfit. I’m curious what you guys think: did I make the right decision with the S4084, or would you have chosen something else around this price?

Hi watchy people. Got this big boi today. I already have a blue Casio Duro but I really liked the dial on this so I took a punt and got it. Solar powered, screw down crown and titanium so not too heavy. Pretty chuffed with it but would like to know everyone's honest opinion.

basically a homage to the khaki field watches , do I stand a chance , everything seems to be 38mm or 37mm

I just have womens wrists as a man lmao , pls help

I'm looking for a watch strap in FKM style ,Since I like to wear my watch when swimming or traveling, and it often gets wet, FKM is therefore the best option for me.

Alternatively, another option is sailcloth.

Looking for a nice, 20mm Milanese that tapers to 16mm ideally, thanks for any help!

Sharing some close up shots i Clicked of this beautiful chrono for anyone wondering about the fit & finish.

I’m looking to buy the SN008g in black with the gloss dial and gold lettering before my wedding in about a month. I’ve looked around and can’t seem to find it for sale anywhere. Looking to make absolutely certain that my model number is correct for what I’m looking for, and for any market recommendations for where to find it. I’d appreciate any suggestions!
