Just picked up a Baltic and am blown away by the quality. So they're an easy recommendation from me!

Thanks so much! Modding opens up so many doors for creativity. I really liked the way it turned out. Thanks for checking it out!

commented on What are your thoughts on Steinhart? ·

I just got my first Steinhart (Ocean One 39). I've owned a fair share of homages. The quality and specs you get for the money is definitely a step above the other homage brands I've tried. I love it!

I chose the Steinhart over Cronos, San Martin, Tisell, etc because of how much watch you get for your money—yes, it's a little pricier than the others but to me the quality/movement are absolutely solid and Steinhart has been doing this homage thing for over 20 years. I haven't had good experience with NH35 microbrands which is also why I went for the Steinhart.
