What are peoples thoughts on the Baltic aquascaphe dual crown?
So I’m thinking of buying an aquascaphe, but I don’t know if I should buy the classic diver or the dual crown. They both look amazing, so I was wondering if those of you who might own either of them, which one would you recommen? And specifically, if you own a dual crown aquascaphe, have you had any problems with it’s durability? I know the first aquascaphe and classic aquascaphe are watches that can hold up to wear, but is that the same for the dual crown? I know some people weren’t wild about having those two exposed lugs be protruding in such a way that they could easily catch on different things. I also know that the higher crown on the case (the one that rotates the inner beze) is not a screw down crown. Have people had trouble with water resistance because of the lack of a screw down crown on that crown?
Thanks in advance!
Hey, I’m a high school student who’s pretty new to collecting, but I still am incredibly interested in this hobby! Would love to afford some great watches some day, but for now, I’m just as happy with...
I've had the dual crown since November of 2021. Haven't had any problems with bumping or damaging the 2 oclock crown. I have it on the BOR bracelet. The bracelet is very comfortable and the watch feels good on the wrist.
My only moans are:
The clasp although milled and brushed scratches easily.
The inner rotating bezel doesn't click and is bidirectional.
Neither one of these were deal breakers for me.
I hope this helps.
I would go for the external bezel. I like a nice tactile bezel. Maybe not helpful, just my humble opinion

Thank you!
Thank you!
I haven’t had great experiences with internal bezels. They tend to be looser than I like, even on high priced pieces.
I have had my Dual Crown since December 2021 and yes, I recomend it: I fully agree what In_awesaid.
I haven't had any trouble with water resistance because of the lack of a screw down crown so far!
