The Baltic MR01 or The Boderry Elite?
So I've been looking for a dress styled watch. I'm not a man of definitions, but I'd like something that follows suite. I thought the MR01 looked awesome, specifically the salmon dial, and I don't have a salmon dial yet. Unfortunately they're no longer in stock on the website. But the MR01 is $575 from the site (when they have them, looking at June now..) Grey market is typically $700-$800..
The Elite is $349 and all in stock (except the gold plated/green..) They both utilize the Hangzhou CAL5000a and that's honestly my main focus. I think the movement is pretty awesome at 28,8vph, as it's most likely the closest thing I'll get to a microtor in 2023. I get more of a classy feel from Baltic with the texture on the dial.
I'm honestly curious on what you all would pick. I'm open to any insights or advice. Lemme know what you all think!!

Baltic. It is already an untested (timewise) movement and the thought of adding a date wheel on it is suspect. Baltic does have great service and honestly, it is one of the best Calatrava inspired pieces out today. IMO
Baltic for sure!!! I have the salmon dial and I LOVE it! Worth the wait
I’d say save the money and go Boderry. That said, note that the Cal. 5000A doesn’t hack for what it’s worth.
Elite. Half the price.
Baltic every day. 👍
