Baltany... ok or tat?

[FredAstaire]

I keep getting an ad pop up in my news feed for Baltany. And I must say, I like their explorer homage.

It's 230 quid, or thereabouts. And has a Seiko nh38,.which means nothing to me other than Seiko is reputable.

Anyway, the point is...is it a.fair price? Or will it fall apart on the 2nd wear?

It’ll be on par with Seiko except with a better bracelet, crystal, and lume. I think you’d be pleasantly surprised with the finishing etc for the money.

Buy it on Ali Express though, it’s a lot cheaper at £149.66 and 7 day delivery.

Thanks, I think I’ll get one then.

I don’t get Ali express though - when search for an item you get dozens of the same thing all at different prices, with seemingly fake discounts, I find it all quite bewildering tbh.

I bought a Baltany quartz chronograph a couple of years ago. It was excellent.

There’s a YouTube video where the guy buys about 8 Explorer homages, maybe worth a look. I will see if I can find it.

Found it!
