    I really like the "broad arrow" touch. That symbol goes back past the 15th century.

    That Baltany is fantastic. (Honestly the case looks similar to a Hamilton field watch. Which is fitting.)

    My boyfriend is a big, big The Last of Us fan, and he happens to be with someone who is very fond on watches and their history (me), when I give him this, he is gonna lose his mind and I cannot wait. Thank you so much :D

    I wear mine on a Seiko SNK 800 blasted bracelet, they're £18 new & it looks great. Fair warning though mine has only one set of spring bar holes, an early watch I think not sure if it will fit your version.

      actually it means "quartz" and "dirty dozen", because the translation for dirty dozen literally means "12 steel men", hence "steel" in the other comment.

    Fantastic watch. Military style quartz with a sapphire crystal and 100m WR is hard to find. Tho, 36mm won't cut it for me and my 7.75 inch wrist. I hope there is a 40mm version.

    Seeing that you reviewed both watches- would you take this watch or the bubble back instead?

    • @johnswatchjoint
      @johnswatchjoint  Рік тому

      Difficult one that. Both exceptional quality - wise. I suppose you would have to decide which style is best and how it would fit into your daily life. That's how I make decisions on watches. What need does it fill in my collection...or is it just a want that could really be discounted altogether?

    • @johnswatchjoint
      @johnswatchjoint  Рік тому

      The watch in my review is a quartz version with the Seiko VD78 which is well known and very reliable. Perhaps you have been looking at other versions Baltany produce with the Seagull movement? The Seagull movement is also very well known with lots of history. It is also very accurate. Personally I would pick the version that suits your lifestyle. If you are active and always on the go, then stick with quartz. An accurate grab and go piece. Thanks for watching:)
