    Very glad to see them use the NH38.
    The attention to detail is exceptional, hope to see them take a shot at making a Laurel Alpinist homage next.

    I own a real Explorer, and had a few more, this is lovely and Ive owned a few Baltany's just wish the watch hands had a bit more curve like the original, so they dance in the light, might buy this anyway as I love dial colour

    • @kenpickett9317

    Grear review!
    I got my 39mm Baltany Explorer delivered three days ago. I'm the middle of moving house and have had the watch on every single minute, banged the crystal against door knobs and the likes in the process, and not any marks or scuffs so far. 😇
    I can confirm that they have made the changes to the 39mm version regarding the bracelet and the signed crown. I have no way of telling if they made any changes to the crystal, but it is in my opinion flawless. I have 19,5 cm wrists, so the 39mm version feels like a great fit for me, even if I might pick up the 36mm in the black dial as a companion sometime later.

    • @EscapeWheel

    I’m Not really a fan of Explorer homages but when I saw this dial I liked it. Bought it in the recent anniversary sale and needless to say it was love at first sight. The crystal is crazy good and my god that dial is great. Loved the review as always Steve

  • @nedflanders3769
    @nedflanders3769 Před měsícem +1

    I really like the dial color. I think I might get the 39mm version since 36mm is definitely too small for me. I’m pretty sure I watched your review on the 39. Do you have an affiliate link for that one?

  • @kennkingg

    I was hesitating on this during the AliExpress sale last month because I couldn't decide on the colour. Your review might eventually sway me to this Chocolate as I've already too many black dials anyway. Hope another sale comes by around soon!

    I LOVE that dial color! I have a 39mm Tisell Explorer which is probably in my top 5 watches. I have a couple lesser 39mm Explorer-ish watches and a few 36mms. Definitely prefer the 39mm for a main watch. I probably won't buy one of these but damn that dial color!

  • @jims4539
    @jims4539 Před měsícem +2

    I wear a Rolex Date Just for my weekend daily and a Baltany field as my work daily. I like both but the use of top hat crystals on the Baltany and other homages confuses. A flat crystal is thinner and reduces chances of bangs.

  • @jacdavis
    @jacdavis Před měsícem

    As soon as saw the first 39mm version released i bought it. I went for the brown dial version and i absolutely love it. Such a beautiful watch. I have a 7" wrist and it fits lovely however I really think the 36mm would fit me better. If only they had released them at the same time!!! 😳
    Can I justify having 2 of the same watch??? Although I'd go for the black dial version.
    Also, I kinda prefer the polished center links on the 39mm version, but would also appreciate the signed crown and clasp, maybe a bit of mixing and matching if I do get another 😂👍

    what do you think about the bezel, is it wider than the san martin sn021/020 ? on some angle the bezel looks really wide for a 36mm sized watch.

    As always Baltany makes a watch with an excellent crystal. I really wish Baltany and other watch companies would offer a Sterile/Anonymous Dial option and a unsigned crown.

  • @TheGrenadier97
    @TheGrenadier97 Před měsícem

    I really like that, but i think that for a brand like Baltany it would be much more appropriate to homage such as the traditional 1016 with updated specifications at low prices. Maybe they're going that path, just building safe releases along the way.

  • @patrickhartmann1540
    @patrickhartmann1540 Před měsícem +2

    Don’t get the fauxtina on the current design. Maybe on brown dial, not black. Also, San Martin’s version with the PT5000 is thinner, which suits the 36mm diameter.

    • @EscapeWheel
      @EscapeWheel  Před měsícem +2

      Agree with all your points. I think BGW9 with gold hands/indices would have been a good option for both color ways. The San Martin is still my favorite, but it's $100 more than this one, and the PT5000 isn't for everyone.
