Here is the latest video about my Baltic Aquascaphe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moXEqI1-j7F3jbc

[@thomaskrebs8110]

I got mine yesterday and I am very happy. One thing I found out is very interesting. I watched many videos about the Tudor BB 58 and I thought about to buy it too. Then I realised, because the BB 58 has the same size as the Baltic and because I watched many nice close up shots of the BB 58 on a big computer screen I got over the time A WRONG PERCEPTION how the watch really looks like on the wrist. So, I took some wrist shot pictures from the Internet, both from the Baltic and Tudor BB, brought it to the correct size right next to each other. Once I saw the Tudor in its correct size on the screen next to my Baltic I realised how small the watch is in reality and although a nice watch and totally different than the Baltic IMO not worth to spend 4000€.

This is a great long term review, something that is rare on KZbin, thank you

[@SillyVintageWatches]

Glad you liked it!

[@miomiomaxi8339]

such beautiful visuals to accompany your informative yet captivating narration - superb job!

[@hotsauce8499]

Amazing review! Will buy for sure after watching your video. I love the NATO strap you have on it, what is the brand and where can I buy it? Thank you!

[@void1984]

Thank you. Waiting for "three years" part.

[@SillyVintageWatches]

Working on it!

[@Jun118notes]

I am eyeing this aquascaph so much, and loving your videos. It is giving me the urge to buy one lol but we don't have the expertise to regulate the movement.. that is the unfortunate reality. What do you think?

[@twoedc4202]

Great long-term review! Might have to pick one up!

[@SillyVintageWatches]

totally recommend that !

[@garydowns4355]

Just bought one after watching your reviews. Thank you 😊

[@SillyVintageWatches]

That is great! Hope you enjoy it!

[@kickstothehead3705]

You should check out the wise it’s alil more modern but has a little vintage inspiration I’d say particularly the brown and the bronze versions

[@PlatyPlayz]

Have been wearing one for two months now. Has not disappointed!

[@miopera40]

the miyotas 9000s are amazing when well tunned. For a $100s movement to get consistently less than 3 secs off or so that's really amazing. I get also those numbers in my Kuoe Royal Smith out of the box which surprised me. Japan is leading.

[@tooththrhr]

It's really nice. The only reason I don't want it is because the crystal looks so reflective. I need a watch I can actually read.

[@whatsonyourwrist]

now I want this watch so much. Great video, keep it up !

[@SillyVintageWatches]

Thanks, will do!

[@tsola]

My best watch purchase.

[@harkonen1000000]

One piece of information I can't seem to get is the weight of the watch head. I'm very weight sensitive when it comes to watches, so that piece of information is pretty crucial for me.

[@slomoking]

That strap matches the watch perfectly. Do you have a link to it?

[@pas0003]

Great review! Do you get much rotor noise? I find that my Lorier, also sporting a Miyota makes quite a loud and unpleasant rotor noise, which can be easily heard in a quiet room or even when driving a car.

[@SillyVintageWatches]

Not during making the first two videos but stay tuned for the 3-Year update. Something changed...

[@bbatsov]

@@SillyVintageWatches I'm guessing it didn't change for the better. :-)

[@robertmarshall72]

What colour is your watch is it the blue one ? Thanks

[@SillyVintageWatches]

It is the retro version with the faux patina / yellow lume

[@M3_86]

Can’t decide between black cream and blue gilt!

[@plasmathunderdx]

I got mine today :) Its beautiful

[@dmarti47]

Great review! I am thinking of getting this watch and, after hearing what you mentioned about its unregulated movement right out of the box, I have the following question: what kind of watchmaker should I look for to regulate it and how much is the average cost of having it regulated? (I’m already thinking ahead, as you can see.)

[@SillyVintageWatches]

A good indication for a watchmaker is if they sell actual mechanical watches. Watch shops in Malls have typically not a watchmaker at hand. At best, they can change your battery. I would just flat out ask the watch shop if they can do it. You can also ask them if they have a telegrapher. If not, run :-) A relatively rough Adjustment like with these kinds of watches should not take more than a few days and coast not more than 50 bucks.

[@willbrink]

Ordered the new Ti version, did not live up to my expectations personally. My review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foCQZoGCZbx0fdE

[@ghilliescreed]

The watch looks amazing but can someone please explain why you would choose a $600 watch which you then need to get professionally fixed so that the time is not out? Thinking about getting this watch but I am curious?

[@SillyVintageWatches]

Fair enough, but what I would also consider is something like the opposite of the survivor bias effect. You have now heard about the slight issue that I had with my watch and feel discouraged, but what is the context? My watch might have been just the one watch out of 500 delivered that needed work. A watch is a very individual and technical product, so issues have to be expected from time to time, but they are the exception.

[@Fahrenheit1407]

Gorgeous watch, planning to get one. Thanks for the review. Quick question, does it come with removable spring bars to use with a NATO strap? Or did you have to buy some separately? It looks like the quick release bars are built into the bracelet and so can't be removed

[@SillyVintageWatches]

If you buy the watch on the steel bracelet, you need extra spring bars for a NATO, that's correct. I bought the watch on the tropic rubber and therefor didn't have to do that.

[@Fahrenheit1407]

@@SillyVintageWatches brilliant, thanks!

[@steelsteez6118]

I plan to use this in the water a lot in Hawaii. Have you been regularly using this watch diving or swimming in pool, lakes, oceans? Thanks for your review!

[@SillyVintageWatches]

Hi, yes I was wearing the watch at the beach swimming pretty much the entire summer of 2021. My recommendation is to establish a routine with yourself where you check the crown each time you dive into the water and to rinse the watch in fresh water every time you used it in the sea or in a pool. Other than that, I have no concerns. You can also have the watch checked for water tightness once a year at a watch shop. Should not take longer than 10 minutes and most of the time costs next to nothing. Have Fun!

[@deansusec8745]

Doesn't opening the watch ruin the water resistance?​@@SillyVintageWatches

[@elizarpongracz9104]

where can i get your wrist band

[@SillyVintageWatches]

That is a single pass strap from cheapest nato straps.

[@jaredmatthews9403]

Maybe if it had a date it could be.

[@SillyVintageWatches]

Yeah i agree, but then we would have the endless debate on where to put it and how to not make it look ugly... :-)

Two years - time for servicing, no?

Servicing at 2 years? No way.... 5-6 years before even considering service.

Thats the point: Way to expensive for Hongkong parts and a miyota movement... thats ridiculous... The French are slightly crazy ...
