- Ever heard the expression, in for a penny, in for a pound? Or, go all in? I expect you probably have, because the age-old disease If-I-Spend-A-Bit-More-I’ll-Get-Something-Even-Better-itis has been around since humans first started trading berries for bits of sharpened rock. Well, in the berry corner is the new, £1,000 Baltic Aquascaphe GMT, and in the bit of sharpened rock corner is the £3,000 Tudor Black Bay GMT. Is it time to put your berries where your mouth is? No wait, that doesn’t sound right…

I love how the narrator's personality and humor gradually shines through as videos go by 😂
Yeah it's getting less formal but it's great fot us long time viewers
"Is it time to put your berries where your mouth is?" XD
Absolutely!
These videos could be half as long if he’d just get to the point like he used to.
A bit overacted, not humorous at all.
4:25 Somebody toucha my spaghet, WTF
Thanks for clarifying I was not going mad seeing these videos 😂
Big brother.......
wat
It sounds Italian.
From an “Three Bears” cartoon by Terry Toons, 1939. They made the bears Italian.
"Time to put the berries where your mouth is..." -- Watchfinder Guy, 2020. What an idiom.
that's what he said...
Im so glad i found this channel. Amazing video.
The Baltic won when they decided to case this watch at 39mm x 47mm.
Its the thickness that is the issue for me.
@@dannyjonze The thickness of the Tudor is an abomination , wish they make a gmt in bb58 proportions
@@hammalamiri12 I’m sure they will within a few years
See... I have both the BB58 and GMT, and honestly don't understand why people are so upset by GMT's size
I thought the BB58 is a bit too small, and the GMT is just right
@@awesomises it's not for me, just too thick
4:24 SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY SPAGHET!
Seriously, this meme aged like a fine spaghet :D
Your videos are hugely amusing. Keep on churning them out!
Watch manufacturers should start making 39mm cases like Baltic is doing. It feels more refined and compact
You mean like the bb58
There's probably a good explanation as to why it feels more compact but I just can't put my finger on it...
I just bought my third 39mm Steinhart and I will say that, especially for the vintage models, I prefer that smaller size. Perhaps if my wrists were larger than the 17cm/6.8in I have, things would be different. But even then I would feel that those retro-designs like the Aquascaphe just feel more "authentic" in 39mm.
I have 8" wrists. I still like the smaller cases.
I totally agree, my BB58 is perfect and I'm currently in search of a 36mm Nomos Orion or older Tudor Date-Day.
Love the size and heft of the Tudor GMT, sits on my wrist perfect, with lockdown I don’t wear formal shirts so height is less of an issue, the vintage vibe is 👌🏻
I completely agree. The BB GMT is just lovely, and it wears really well. I’d still wear it with a shirt though.
After 1 year and 2 months on my wrist, I love my BB GMT, more than the day I bought it.
Great writing and narration as always. Inspiring.
Your best yet. Absolutely earned the like, subscription, bell tickle.
Tudor for me. It's already a classic.
The Blue-Jade GMT is now my goal. So beautiful.
I feel that. I hadn't heard of the baltic gmt until this video but my god they knocked it out of the park. I've literally just bought an aquascaphe and now I already want a blue/green gmt too
No joke about to order one...
Wish they had it in quartz.
I just got one

"Is it time to put your berries where your mouth is?" 😂
You liked that bit, didn't you? ;)
i really appreciated the humour in the video. kudos!
The art of story telling, amazingly, gets better from week-to-week!
Really like how you presented this episode so funny and different plus braking the 4th wall was great
I like the Baltic more.
This narrative put me on the moon.. amazing, thanks guys!
That close up of the tudor handstack had my knees weak.
That was a very fun review
Would love to see a comparison video with Lorier's new Hyperion GMT which will be a little less than the Aquascaphe.
you had me at "tickled the bell"
Great timing on this video before work 😅
Edit: 3:45 is the most satisfying shot you have ever done. More please!
That movement inside the Baltic, the Soprod, has some interesting history. While it's more or less a workhorse Swiss movement these days, it's actually based on the Seiko 4L family of movements, which was actually used in Credor watches, which are a notch above Grand Seiko. Very thin movements, designed to provide a higher-end alternative to ETA 2892. Also very Swiss-like for a Japanese design.
That's great additional information. Thanks for sharing
Brilliant, thank you for that added bit of knowledge.
Very interesting, thank you
you're confusing a lot of facts here
1. back then Credor WASN'T "above GS"
2. that Seiko movement was a 1:1 copy of the 2892, intended to be a drop-in replacement for that movement
3. that project pretty much failed, the stuff went to Soprod, Seiko was kinda pissed and then continued the project in the current 6L movements, which are essentially 95% 2892 clones with a 2-3 proprietary Seiko "mods" (diashock instead of the swiss equivalents, the magic lever for allegedly somewhat improved winding efficiency and iirc one more thing that currently escapes me)
but, for all intents and purposes, that caliber, and the current Soprod iteration even more so, are "2892 clones" through and through. so no, these are definitely NOT "higher end alternative to 2892" but merely "an exact same alternative manufactured by a different company" (much like the Sellita SW200 is to the ETA 2824)
@@praetor47 They have the same size, and same dials/hands. It's still used by Credor watches btw, in the 6L incarnation. And unlike Sellita, it doesn't actually have any parts that are interchangeable with 2892
The blue grey one looks so nice!
Great video
Baltic found itself a nice little market niche : they mimmick (but not copy) vintages watches that few people can affort
great video
I can"t believe how many people are complaining and saying "get on with it". His reviews are like a Pink Floyd song - if you can't get through the long intro, you are better off listening to something else. We come to this channel because of his storytellnig, there are many review-only channels already.
Keep up the good work mate, always a pleasure to listen to you and learn new things.
Lol. This and Pink Floyd! Lofl. Whatever you say bud.
The teal Baltic is gorgeous 😍
Man... the original Aquascaphe and this new GMT would make a pretty solid "two-piece" watch-collection.
4:24 I love this channel more and more every day.
The Baltic looks really awesome, but I am looking to add a true GMT to my collection as I already own two watches with ETA-based GMT complications.
I've always collected GMT's, before they came back into fashion and I was worried about them dying off. The Tudor is a no brainer because of the in house movement. I'd like to get both. Swap my beater Boldr for the Baltic and the Tudor for going out
The Baltic is a good v good watch
Your scripts are so damn amazing!!
Beautifully filmed. The build quality looks great on both as far as yo can tell from the images, but the Baltic is too small for me personally. Would I always wish I’d bought the Tudor ?
Thanks so much! Great topic and comparison.
This is the channel that made me fall in love with the black bay
Brilliant!
It's a good day when Watchfinder releases a new video.
The Baltic is pretty, but stretch a little and you've got the Tudor. And it does so much more than just being better looking if you ask me.
Actually the Tudor GMT turned out to be a flop with the defective date-wheel that Rolex can't fix until today.
I really miss the two other background music tracks. Please bring them back
I’m going to buy a Baltic rn. Thanks for ruining my bank account
Tudor GMT is 4x the price of the Baltic which I dont think is fair comparison but still I love the Baltic GMT pepsi.
@@mariosiaven2965 lol I didn’t even get it in the end. Instead got a seiko turtle
I think one of the missing ones now on the crowded GMT panorama is the latest Glycine Combat GMT in bronze case and leather strap (with the chocolate dial as a winner in my opinion). Is an ETA 2993 movememt (or Sellita) so not a real GMT like the Tudor/Rolex (with the independent hour hand) but is ok if you need a 42mm and your wrist is big
Anyone knows which country is best to buy new watch from? In consideration of price and taxes.
Also same thing with second hand watches regarding price, taxes and originality.
damn that Baltic one amazing watch for the money! Great video too.
I was laughing by the 30 second mark. Bravo!
I closed my eyes, feel bamboozled
The very language this man speaks in, the rhetorical technique, is as fine as the watches he reviews...
English? Um ok
What a refreshing channel this is as opposed to the Rolex fest we see everywhere else.You speak so much sense.
That Baltic is just beautiful!!!
Beautiful watch 👌 seriously considering buying one and this video helped alot !
That Blue-Jade Baltic has a bit of a DLR roundel feel to it
I hope someday soon, watch makers realise the importance of being able to operate the GMT function using the Bezel. It feels intuitive, I recently witnessed it on an IWC Timezones; unfortunately that watch is just too large to wear on my wrist. However, the functionality is amazing.
I really want to know who wrote this? Brilliant! And also the face behind the voice!
I’m loving the look of the Baltic’s and that gmt with the aqua bezel is seriously calling to me. However even in just a few short minutes you can tell the finishing on the Tudor is a class or two above. That being said I wouldn’t say no to owning either.
Do a seiko sbp143 vs a tudor blackbay 58 and/or a submariner.
Hi, could you do a review of uni time, world time watches eg. Breitling Transoceanic Chronograph Unitime? Thank you - congratulations amazing videos 👍
I own one of the earliest aquascaphes for about 2 years now and I am really happy with it. I also made a review about that watch on my channel.
I am sure at least a date wheel works on Baltic 😔
The problem with value arguments is that you’ll always end up in a Seiko*, which aren’t bad. (*Or Oris, if you want either Swiss-made or mechanical GMT/Chronograph)
This is like taking a tests, not watching a product review
Really beautifully shot video but wristshot would have been great!
What do you think about blue Certina PH200M? It is sub 1000$ and could it be the best value for money?
Jesus you took so long to get to the comparison, had to tap out at 3 minutes
Chill,man 😏
@@trevbarlow9719 its a fair point though it got boring
Agree. This dud is too slow
This channel only works if you skip the first couple minutes and use a 1.25 playback speed.
I just bought a zelos horizons GMT having not fallen for the Baltic GMT. It will be interesting to see how zelos holds up compared to my BB GMT.
I got the zelos horizons 2 gmt. I love it except for the midnight blue bezel is hard to read in lume, and the GMT movement is a caller GMT rather than a True or Traveller's GMT. Also the screw link bracelet needs locktitie to resize. apart from that i love it.
@@JinKee I noticed a few colour combinations make the bezel hard to read I have ordered the frost variant.
Didnt think i would be going out of here with philosophical dilemas more than wanting a watch
I am sold !
Please turn up the master volume!!
yea that Baltic is Gorgeous
The paint on the Baltic and Tudor GMT hand looks neater then a Rolex GMT.
you may see your eye doc
definitely is better
I don't know about you guys but my GMT Master II Black is better than theses two. 5/6 k better probably not. But it's better. I know because like you I own one.
@@robertsullivan4773 The only thing your Rolex is better at is keeping it's value.
Marvin Berwart fuck yeah. My beat up 116710LN is now worth more than I paid for when I got it brand new a few years ago.
Please do a video about vintage chronographs and how using generic movements from Venus, Valjoux, Landeron, and Lemania built the foundations of today's iconic chronographs like the Breitling Navitimer, Tissot PR516, and even the Omega cal. 321 that went to the moon. It's an absolutely fascinating part of horological history that a lot of people don't even know exists.
About to watch the whole video but already prefer the Tudor as it will let me age the aluminium bezel myself 🤷🏼♂️
Just right would be owning the 2.
Except for the hour hand design the tudor is beautiful
Could you please review once the Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Flyback Chronograph with blue dial in stainless Steel. 🙏
I could only dream that my craftsmanship will come near these darn things.
Arr you a watch maker?? I don't know what's the proper word so please excuse me
@@Shreedhar_Shukla Haha no, I'm a fabricator. I make brackets, posts, or whatever a client wants. Mostly structural stuff :)
Just want to comment that for those who don’t enjoy the storytelling, that he takes “too long to get to the point”. You are not forced to watch his videos, there are other people who review differently. Those who are longtime viewers appreciate the storytelling and humour that comes with it.
Imagine a BB GMT at 39mm with a sapphire bezel 🤯
Even 39mm BB GMT with aluminum bezel would be awesome. I'll be buying this Baltic >:)
The question is: why didn't Tudor start with that?
I own a In House 41MM Tudor BB and even then I dont like the Tudor GMT because of the snowflake 24h hand,I think is because Im used to the pointed 24hr hand on my Rolex Explorer2 16570
@@mariosiaven2965 k
How do you guys think baltic compares to farer?
Please make a review of pequignet !
New microphone?
That Tudor GMT is my grail
WE WANT THE REVERSO!
Baltic is gorgeous
Man I've been waiting for this watch for a minute hahaha.
The price is stopping me just a little bit though. Was hoping for it to come under $1,000. Especially with a Soprod instead of an ETA. The exchange rate puts it around $1,200.
I know Lorier is also coming out with a GMT as well so will wait to see where there falls price wise. Or may get a Batavi Kosmopoliet.
SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY SPAGHETTI
One thing Baltic doesn't list on their website is the size of their straps, which are very small. The Aquscaphe bracelet won't fit a 7.5 in. wrist, and the tropical straps barely do.
I've never REALLY liked the snowflake hands (I always have to talk myself into not minding them) and I've always liked the symmetry of a 6 o'clock date window. So, yeah, the Baltic should do the trick - plus the design and overall proportions are even more true to it's vintage forebears. Yummy.
Baltic is not a true GMT.
Apples and Oranges. However, I like both!
Love the hands on the Baltic, beats the Mercedes
Btw thx for semi teaching me the Goldilocks principal!
The hour hand on the Tudor ruins it for me.
It truly is butt-ugly. 👎😖
It's a classic design from Tudor, I personally think it's a breath of fresh air from the mercedes/baton/arrow hands that you see all the time, and everywhere.
>somebody touch a my spaghett!
God damn, dude! You're really going in on the memes
H. Moser Streamliner Center Seconds, please!
Isn't this supposed to be announced on 11/27?
I don't know what is the deal with these re - re - releases nowadays.
The end of the teasing was scheduled today. You will have a week to check the full GMT pages and orders will start 27th as scheduled. 😉
Can you use the other soundtrack sometimes?
I have a feeling this watch may put Baltic on the map as more than just a micro brand...
I am still holding out for the BB58 GMT
