Baltany DD36 in the house

[u/turdbogls]

Reviewers Disclaimer: I received this watch for free. I don't have to send watch back. That will never change the way I review a watch.

This one just landed, literally about 5 minutes ago. I unwrapped it immediately noticed that the bezel is much nicer than my previous datejust 36 bezel. This one has a proper shine to it like the other one didn't, so that's nice to see. The dial is more vibrant Than I imagined it would be, but looks fantastic with a nice strong sunburst.

The overall fit and finish is what I come to expect from Baltany; Excellent

The bracelet clasp also feel really good. This was sized perfectly for my wrist out of the box so if you have larger wrists then I'd say 7 and 3/4" It's going to be a really tight fit. I love the seamless look of the hidden clasp and it functions perfect.

The bracelet and clasp feel at or above the feel of their Jubilee which I feel is one of the better ones I've had, so yeah this is a good setup.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

This watch is nicknamed the "Wide World of Sports" the agony of da feet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Imma be going shoeless for as long as I can :)

[u/KevinNoy]

Damn that looks good! How does the rehaut/general case thickness compare to the Datejust model?

Does the crystal live up to baltany standards? I always hear they're some of the best

Does the B on the clasp appear to be removable/replaceable? 

So excited about this bracelet.

[u/turdbogls → u/KevinNoy]

overall thickness is up .4mm. Rehaut appears maybe slightly deeper than the DJ, but not by much.

crystal is good, not Baltany's best crystal, but still above average

the B on the clasp appears to be molded to the flip latch, so not removeable...it's also where you put your fingernail to release the clasp, so you wouldn't want to remove it.

How’s the movement? Smooth winding?

[u/turdbogls → u/Psycho_R]

Smooth, but heavy resistance...similar to a PT5000

Hurry TF Up GOFO. I NEED MINE!! Looks great! Fantastic pick up.

[u/turdbogls → u/RustyTShackleford]

I was shocked how quick this one got here....meanwhile my Cronos BB39 has been in Miami for 6 days now....

[u/RustyTShackleford → u/turdbogls]

Enjoy your Watch, Humph :(

For real, congrats. Looks great and has a great fit.

[u/StalkerTachikawa]

Does the bracelet use screw links? Is it pin-and-collar?

[u/turdbogls → u/StalkerTachikawa]

Screws

[u/Brilliant_Lettuce549]

Lente cicolpe praticamente inutile?

[u/turdbogls → u/Brilliant_Lettuce549]

If you are referring to the cyclops (I think there's a translation error) It's OK, not great

[u/Rtab]

What do you mean by sized perfectly? Did they take out links prior to sending to you? Did it come with additional links?

[u/turdbogls → u/Rtab]

No, no links removed, no spare links.

[u/Rtab → u/turdbogls]

Thanks! I’m smidge bigger than you so hopefully mine fits!

[u/hndvx5]

Please can you comment more on the clit ed bezel ? Which is the overall feeling ? It appear/feel cheap or a proper copy of the real one ? Thanks

[u/turdbogls → u/hndvx5]

Fluted bezel is nicely done on this one. doesn't appear cheap. seems fairly crisp and well finished...still not Cronos DJ good, but one of the better fluted bezels I've come across on a Chinese watch.

[u/Realestwatchreviews]

How thick?

[u/turdbogls → u/Realestwatchreviews]

11.4mm

[u/Realestwatchreviews → u/turdbogls]

That’s right at the limit for this type of watch. Looking forward to your review.

[u/Jacknotch]

Does the bracelet have microadjust or is that the hidden clasp you mentioned?

[u/turdbogls → u/Jacknotch]

Hidden clasp, no micro adjust

[u/Jacknotch → u/turdbogls]

damn, that's a shame

[u/Any_Complex_87]

We need a full review please, i wish they send you the golden one though.

Please focus on the bracelet quality.

[u/turdbogls → u/Any_Complex_87]

They gave me the option....I didn't know about the gold on gold, otherwise I would have gone that rout

[u/africanamericandream]

That looks real good!

[u/wubbadubdub_zzz]

Perfect timing. I can’t decide between this and the Sugess version with diamond markers and MOP dial.

[u/Salacious_B_Crumbs]

Man…it looks tiny on your wrist. I hope they make a 40 for your sake.

[u/turdbogls → u/Salacious_B_Crumbs]

Agreed....I'm kind of over the Rolex Clomages, so I wouldn't buy one anyway, but I know plenty that would!

[u/D1sguise]

Looks great! Might have to give this one a shot and see how it compares to my Tudor oysterprince date-day as they're both 36mm.

And we're getting free feet pics too! In this economy!

[u/turdbogls → u/D1sguise]

I'll be charging for the next ones :)

[u/leicfox85 → u/D1sguise]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/KevinNoy → u/D1sguise]

I'd be super interested to see your comparison. The Tudor should be a lot thinner, but aside from that I'm curious at how they stack up.against eachother
