Which one would you keep?

On a pure aesthetics point of view and proportion on my wrist…

Specs are more or less equivalent and don’t matter much for me as they are enough for what I need.

And yes, I MUST choose, I cannot keep both 😅

Thank you, it will help me for my final decision!

I will go counter with the Alpina based on solid GADA qualities and better brand cache. I am not sure I am sold on the Baltic design for this one - at first I was sold, but not sure if in a year or two I would feel the same.

I would have picked Baltic if it was the cream or the green, but Alpina is great

I'm a fan of both brands, but I don't like the date window treatment on the Alpina nor the crown design on the Baltic.

Alpina’s are great watches. I’d pick that without hesitation

I had a chance to see all colors in a shop. Green would not work with my outfit and the cream does not look as good in reality as in pictures (a bit too much on the yellow side).

Brown allows me to fit many leather straps and works the best with my outfit, which is always composed of brown. For instance, it's the same color as my leather belt and shoes, so it works quite well.

The Alpina is a monster strap, so it can actually match with anything.

It's my favorite in terms of design, but it's less confortable : heavy, not so well balanced, and the crown tends to dig into the skin.

Oh that's unfortunate, I really liked the cream from pictures online but if I was going for Baltic I would have picked the aquascaphe. Yeah brown looks really nice but the alpina is a very solid choice

Alpina wins in the comments but looses in the poll ! 😂

I get your points. I have considered the Hamilton Kaki Field, but the 5 ATM water resistance is a show stopper to me.

I need a GADA and don't want to think about water resistance when I do sport or if I want to swim with it.

I want a GADA that is light and 36 - 38mm. (or more precisely 47mm lug-to-lug max).

The get a Christopher Ward Sealander automatic or GMT. Available in 36mm or 39mm with a WR of 15 ATM and a host of interesting dial colors. Dragonfly in GMT and Mulberry in automatic are probably my favorites!!
