New Baltic: You were right.
For those who said a non-limited Tricompax. You were right. 👍
A very pretty watch, certainly, but there are too many other tempting things for me that I'd rather spend £1.5k on at the moment.
Anyone doing the preorder?

Very competitively priced, but I have to say, if someone is looking for a panda, it’s pretty good looking and the specs back it up.

You're right. Very nice specs 👍
It's a good looking watch, but nothing about it stands out from the pack imo.

I know it's like comparing apples and oranges, but as I'm currently looking at Dan Henry due to @chronotriggered recently throwing its temptation into my path, I think I'd rather have a 1964 for 250 USD

Hmm … I might just get a Dan Henry than Baltic Hms002 … this Dan Henry you posted is 🔥

I think I jinx myself. I was fooling myself answering poll by @rodeenski last week, asking about if you feel complete with your collection and I answered YES… and a day after I bought 3 wAtches 🤯😵💫… I’m a walking contradictory!!

So tempting! Great watch. I just picked up something for my wife so I'm in a holding pattern right now

Not guilty.
I told you it was a watch. So did @chronotriggered
I even went so far as to as it was a Baltic.
No flies on us two you know.

True. I did say it was a watch. It’s uncanny…
This is beautiful. But as stated by @horologuitarist above, it doesn't really stand out with the all the other tricompax releases lately. I want a Baltic watch at some point though, and this really nice looking.
I think it's great Baltic is taking the Tricompax design and releasing a non-limited edition with both the panda and reverse panda designs. It keeps the Peter Auto limited edition special, but offers the same design and quality build for all who want one. I think the price is a fair price.
The Dan Henry references are great examples of a modestly priced quartz alternative that are built really well and look fantastic.
When it was released a couple of years ago, I plumped for the 1962 Racing Chronograph with the Seiko VK63 mecaquartz movement...it was very reasonably priced at $285...

Oh my... black and gold....
I'm annoyed as I got the LE and it's not bonding with me so I'm trying to sell it. Hard to do now that this is out and is far less 😔
I would have thought it would make it easier to sell since it is so much better looking and cooler than the non-limited edition. Now that they will be promoting the non-limited versions, you should jump on the back of that and offer your LE that is such an awesome package.

No, I'm sorry, but you already committed to bidding on the HMS002 when it goes up for auction in the new year.

Dude! 2023 is soo far away lol…i‘ll postpone my Baltic purchase so I can bid for the auction 😉… it is still part of the micro collection
Let's do it...😉
Windup watch fair next year!!!
I dig it
Windup watch fair next year!!!
Beers on me if it happens!

I'm definitely planning on being in NYC for Windup next year. Once they announce a date we can get to officially organising something (or rather I will nag @Max to put something together again 🥳) Would be great to see you there!
It's ON like Donkey Kong 🦍
My only concern is the cost to get there, stay, play and buy a bunch o shit. I could buy a watch!🙄 Screw it! Memories are easier to store and last longer!

Personally I think the new ones make this LE more desirable. In fact I just picked one up precisely because the new ones were announced. The new ones are beautiful (and the reverse panda is stunning), but I think the LE stands out with a more fun/funky tone that reminds me of the 70s racing chronographs

Damn sorry to hear that, it's a good looking watch but I'd go with the panda 🙄 the stop watches with the LE are pretty cool.
Hey @Dean_Clevername @Timetworule check out my unboxing 🤓👍🏼

The packaging was pretty nice. Why don't you like it?
So I have a Panda 1964 and a Black/Gold 1962 from DH (and a 1937 Silver Sector) and I still want this reverse panda....help!
Chronos aren’t my thing. That being said, a small handful catch my eye. Baltic are in that group hands down, clean, stylish, functional. Design. Though if I were to buy another Baltic ( in addition to my MR01) it would probably be the blue gilt Aquascaphe. Again, not a fan of complications (with some exceptions). I really like to see a three hander, strong design, good materials, good construction.
