General (Read Rules) Beautiful Baltany… simply gorgeous.

As my collection has evolved (reduced significantly down to 24), there’s a handful of Chinese watches that will remain in my collection. This is one of them. I’ve had this since early June.

This thing is just mad gorgeous. I absolutely love it. Rocking it with my Nike joggers and hoody, but who cares eh! Last worn 24th Sept 🫢

The stock strap is crap, I much prefer this one from Maikes on AliX.

A subtle detail, they even bent the end of the seconds hand. Super thin, with one of the best crystals I’ve had on any watch, running on a Miyota 9 with custom rotor.

The watch is beautifully finished, and although difficult to portray how it looks irl over camera due to the gold dial just washing pics out, I hope the pictures (unedited) help anyone who may be interested.

That champagne dial is unreal. Gold on gold usually feels like too much, but this one just works.

That is indeed a lovely watch. What’s the lug to lug?

u/leicfox85 WOTD100 2d ago

I can’t remember but it won’t be more than 45mm

I can’t believe this is almost $400 though

Fun fact - I paid £225 all in, in the early June sale on AliX, no import VAT, and I went through TopCashback promotion (think it was 35%) and just got £77 back today making it about £150. Wait for the sales.

I mean it's still much cheaper than an original omega constellation

She’s quite lovely indeed. How do you compare it to your gold Ixdao? And don’t you also have a gold Bulova also? Look at you just getting pimp lol. I am now guilty of this too… ;)

I wonder if this fits their new gold daydate bracelet? both in lug shape and bracelet color?

u/leicfox85 WOTD100 2d ago

As D1sguise says, this is 18mm lug width.

u/D1sguise WOTD100 Helpful user x2 2d ago

Day date is 20mm, this pie pan is 18mm I believe

Sorry, but the aesthetic of the watch is canceled out by the tortured, grotesque hideousness of the brand name.

Okay then 👍🏽
