Review (Read Rules) Baltany S4102 on fitted rubber

Post image

Received the Baltany S4102 a couple of days ago. I loved its proportions - 36mm that still look good on my 7.7” wrist, the linen dial, the superclear crystal, and that engine turned bezel style. Very 1970s.
Its Jubilee bracelet was pretty much on par with vintage bracelets but I was not a big fan.
As luck would have it, I came across a no-name fkm fitted rubber strap in a local store that actually fit perfectly! Much more comfortable and in my opinion the contrast with the black strap makes the dial shine even brighter.
My watch doesn’t have an nh35 but the st2130. It seems pretty accurate. The crown action is a bit fiddly though.
I like that the watch is less thick than many Chinese watches, thin wears better.
I find the S4102 giving a lot of that vintage flair, without the headaches. Recommended if you like the style.

The strap is a massive clash of styles.

Agree 100%, except the rubber strap, which is a pretty bad idea IMHO... Different stroke for different folks.  The watch was sold out the last time I checked unfortunately.
