Always a pleasure, to watch the review of a sharp medical doctor, who truly aims at being objective and has non whatsoever hidden financial interests in his beloved hobby. It is important to add that Baltany claims that the hands are not painted in blue, but in fact heat-treated. That's to be appreciated, given the price.

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks for that mate - glad you enjoy the content! Heat treatment is nice… but still… I don’t think it makes a good match for this dial

[@jananilcolonoscopu4034]

I love those large unitas based movements.

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks for that Jan

[@WATCHingJames]

I am loving these affordable manual seagull movements. They look amazing.

[@PerthWAtch]

Agreed!

[@stevefox8605]

Actually pretty tempted. Thank you Ivan 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PerthWAtch]

Most welcome Steve!

[@sennensajorda3470]

Just got mine last week.. This video convinced me to pull the trigger.. Excellent watch

[@PerthWAtch]

That’s great mate - I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

[@sennensajorda3470]

Thanks. Great video

[@handsomewong2469]

Stunning!

[@PerthWAtch]

Yes :)

[@jamessmith6402]

Great looking watch👍thanks Ivan good review

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks James, much appreciated!

[@bjoernaltmann]

It’s a replica of a 1936 PAM 249, that’s why it has blued hands. The original contains a Unitas movement, that’s also where they got their inspiration from. The PAM 00448 with the 3 day power reserve also has this dial.

[@PerthWAtch]

Yeah, that’s right… something like that haha!

[@slewisau]

Great review as always Ivan. Not my style but Baltany have been getting some love for their other pieces on some channels.

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks mate - their doing pretty good work I must say! (If you can call blatant copyright infringement “good work” 😂)

[@77cjam]

Definitely looks a well made watch for a great price. Great looking movement. Personally can't stand California dials, and the numeral dial doesn't do it for me either. Not liking sterile dials either, this was never gonna be on my Christmas list. But a good well made homage, as long as you like what's being hommaged. Your bird friend 🐦 certainly had something to say about it on the video 👍

[@PerthWAtch]

I don’t like California dials either but I do like the Panerai plain numeral style that audaciously leaves out the chapter ring (no minute markings whatsoever).

[@baronbristow8764]

Baltany make nice looking watches - I’ve been tempted before

[@PerthWAtch]

Are you tempted again? :)

[@baronbristow8764]

@@PerthWAtch - not into the Californian dial. But they make neat and tidy watches. They keep it simple and well executed.

[@teksaso1]

Actually Panerai uses same (blue) colour in their hands atleast with PAM 779. So they just copied the colour.

[@PerthWAtch]

Yep, I agree… it still sucks 😂

[@Vader965]

This is the PAM249 - blue hands, cali dial.

[@PerthWAtch]

Yeah very close… although the PAM249 doesn’t look to have sandwich lume

[@philspencelayh5464]

Best view is from the rear, a nice looking movement. Can't think of anything else positive to say.

[@PerthWAtch]

😂😂

[@maninthestreet01]

A non-hacking movement in a watch with no second hand isn't significant. I bought the Baltany 1926 Oyster tribute watch, with a Seagull ST1701 movement. Unfortunately, it it's not as accurate as the Seagull movement used by the watch in this video - on my wrist, it loses at least 24 secs in a 24 hour period. Off the wrist in a dial up position it GAINS at least 45 seconds in a 24 hour period. In a crown up or crown down position it loses between 10 and 15 seconds in 24 hours.

[@PerthWAtch]

Yeah that’s rather bad accuracy and regulation… I wonder if you can self regulate it better. The 1000 series I think is their lowest grade so perhaps it’s not too surprising.

[@finesse49]

I've considered getting one of the Baltany watches in a wearable size and may do it eventually. This one is much too big for my wrist, not to mention I think it's one of their ugliest.

[@PerthWAtch]

Haha this a good example of how beauty is in the eye of the beholder! The Radiomir is classic and unquestionable popular - I like the shape and I’m gonna see if I can get the numeral dial which I like better!

[@josepmariaaguascaribot9239]

Seems an UNITAS.

[@PerthWAtch]

Does it?

[@josepmariaaguascaribot9239]

@@PerthWAtch : the 'Seagull's ST-3600' of this BALTANY, seems to be like an UNITAS, made in China by SEA GULL and fitted in a 'Lepine' (small seconds at 9), mechanic, hand winding, made by SEA GULL. I own an unit and other UNITAS caliber, (small seconds at 6), as well.

[@PerthWAtch]

Very interesting!

[@Beck-Stein]

Panerai copies have been done to death.

[@PerthWAtch]

Amazing

[@Mr.DippsChad]

Ahh not impressive or thrilling but nice.

[@PerthWAtch]

Nice!

[@zillsburyy1]

the back is beautiful the front is ugly AF

[@PerthWAtch]

Blame Panerai for the front

[@m4t7eo]

This is a perfect example of a watch I'd buy for 150€ as a fun "once in a while" piece, but I would never buy the real thing even if money was no object. I love california dials, I love cousin cases, but the fascist past of panerai kinda stops me from buying even a homage.

[@PerthWAtch]

Why are they fascist? So… would you buy this watch or not? You seem to contradict yourself

[@luvwatchesusa8333]

Would never buy a homage watch! Would you buy a homage car if they made one?

[@PerthWAtch]

There several homage cars on the market and I certainly would not cross them off my list just because of that. Can you explain why you wouldn’t but a homage watch?

[@luvwatchesusa8333]

@@PerthWAtch I would not buy a homage watch because of value and reliability.

[@PerthWAtch]

You mean the value and reliability is too good??

[@luvwatchesusa8333]

@@PerthWAtch I would not buy a homepage watch because if the value and reliability of the real watch compared to the homepage watch. Also, I would have buyers regret not saving enough for the real item. Yes a homepage watch is cheaper and can last for some time. Scratching the initial itch. But every time I would see the real watch I would still want it but I already used monies, I could have saved, for the homage watch.

[@PerthWAtch]

If $150 makes a different to your purchase of a $10k watch, then perhaps you shouldn’t be thinking about the real thing. As mentioned homage is also a good way to get a feel for the real thing, how it sits and looks on you. And hey, if that small percentage makes that much of a difference to you, you can always sell the homage after getting the real thing.
