Finally ordered my Baltic Aquascaphe!

I got my bonus today which was much, much better than estimated so I ordered a Baltic Aquascaphe Blue Gilt on a beads of rice bracelet this morning.

To say I'm excited is an understatement. I have been researching this watch for almost a full year. This is what my browser tabs look like in my phone ๐Ÿ˜‚.

This watch will be my most expensive purchase to date (relative to me) and I think I am good for a while (famous last words from a watch addict). This is my Rolex.

Honestly, I'll probably wear this every day for a very long time, it's my perfect daily wearer.

This Baltic will mark successfully overcoming a very tough year & mainly celebrating our new dog Zuko as a whole. After a scary incident, he's ok now, I get to enjoy this watch with him now & build lots of memories. It's his watch & I'll remember him forever with it after he's gone too.

Thanks for reading my exited thoughts and have a great day!

Just like @sam_kula Iโ€™m sorry to read you had a rough year, but hey, hopefully itโ€™ll only get better from now on.

I truly hope that Baltic is much more than you expect it to be, and that you enjoy it a ton.

Cheers! ๐Ÿป

Man I regret selling mine every day and this post just makes me want it back even more ๐Ÿ˜

Congrats on a beautiful watch. And I love it on the beads of rice. Wishing you both a happy and healthy year with it. ๐Ÿฅ‚โœŒ๐Ÿป

Super excited for you! Looking forward to the many wrist shots to come!

Hoping to pick up a Baltic MR01 later this year. I think Baltic's design language is wonderful. Exceptional even, for the price point.

ยท

I love you mentioning the open tab. I have the same

Tab for this watch and am happy for you that you could pull the trigger! Well done!

ยท

Been looking at those for awhile myself. Hope it exceeds expectations. Sorry for the loss of your dog.

ยท

Congratulations ๐Ÿฅณ enjoy

ยท

Congrats on the bonus, on the watch and cheers to better times ahead!

(I have MANY open tabs in Safari displaying watch related content ๐Ÿ˜€ )

If I had more money I would spend it all. Baltic would make me broke again

ยท

Ash, sorry for your loss. This is a great way to honor your beloved Zuko. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy every inch of your new watch, both for its meaning and its pleasing appearance. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿซถ

ยท

Excellent call. Absolutely adore mine.

I edited the post, My pup is OK now.

We just had a bad scare in October where he was attacked by another dog in a park. He was Bit, He had 8 stitches on his neck and we are still dealing with some residual behaviour side effects. He's fully healed now and getting better each day, slowly getting back to normal.

Edited the post, he's all good. Didn't explain that part properly.

It feels so great to see someone sharing their happiness of buying a new watch - A lot of non-watch people don't understand that this isnt about merely a materialistic object but a lot more because of the sense of accomplishment, the hope of having a timeless companion reminding about time (the irony of it) and "memories in making" that we share when we buy these 'objects' - Enjoy and all the best

Thank God, I hope he gets better.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™Œ

Congratulations! That bonus is very well spent ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Love my #aquascaphe and I couldn't recommend it higher. Get a good fkm rubber bracelet too. You can't go wrong with one.

Congratulations! Well deserved and what a good feeling. Enjoy it. Itโ€™s a great one. Iโ€™d pick that very same one

ยท

Congratulations. I have the black and silver with beads of rice. I also bought a leather strap and like it on that a lot too. Once of my favorite aspects is the distortion from the glass. The bezel feel is real nice too. I use the bezel as a cooking timer all the time.
