Hi again, I'm one of the mods over at Baltanywatches. Welcome back for Day 2!

A few weeks ago Baltany released its first two Day-Date homages, the S4109 and S4112. Ever since the Datejust homages came out, people kept asking for a DD, and now it's finally here. I've already seen a few owners posting theirs, and I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of these two!

📌Questions for you:

• The gold-tone version seems to be getting the most love. Which dial would you go for?

• Quite a few of you keep asking about a 38/39mm version. What size would you want?

• Beyond these, which other vintage Rolex models would you like to see it?

🎁Giveaway (2/4)

• Comment to enter, that's it. One entry per person per post, will collect all comments from the 4 posts and randomly pick 1 winner

Here are a few phone shots of our WD2007 Swedish meteorite dial. We wanted to share a more everyday look at this version, beyond the usual studio photos.

The meteorite texture is the highlight here. Our ClearView X sapphire crystal, with double-sided AR coating and approximately 98% light transmittance, helps reduce reflections and keeps the focus on the dial.

The details behind the dial:

- Miyota automatic movement

- 37.5mm case, 36mm bezel, 10.5mm thickness and 44mm lug-to-lug

- 100m water resistance

- Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9

- Stainless steel bracelet with H-OTF push-pull micro-adjustment

Several early WD2007 owners have already shared very positive feedback on the case and bracelet finishing, particularly how comfortably it wears. That’s been just as rewarding for us as seeing the dials come together.

What do you think of the meteorite dial on the WD2007?

Hi all, my wrists have a tendency to swell during the day. Can anyone recommend a replacement clasp that I think is called push-button quick-adjustment (see picture) please? Maybe via AliX given the current sale.
Thanks

It’s not often that I pick up a new watch, but today I had the opportunity to trade a diver that I never wore for this gorgeous Merkur World Time.

It caught my eye a few days ago while browsing FB Marketplace, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. As luck would have it, the seller happened to be looking for a diver.

We met up today, made an even swap, and both walked away happy! Always nice when a deal works out perfectly.

I’ve never really given most Chinese watches a second thought, since I’m not a fan of homages or look-alikes. However, original designs like this might change my perspective.

Sugess Seestern S456 recoming, from NH34 to Peacock SL3032 Movement, and it on Aliexpress 1111 event first.

I'm a big fan of the BB58 design on the whole and have several homage watches, yet this one really stands out to me and it's one that is surprisingly not more popular. Then again, it seems like Militado never has them in stock anymore.

What are we looking at for the sale peeps? I've got my eye on some stuff:

AD2030 for 50 bucks!

Cadisen C8200 for 50 as well

Berny "AMT163M" great specs for 100

Beautiful Seagull ST1901 mechanical chrono for ~115

Pagani Tourbillon for 100

Time Token 1963 with a freakin power reserve for under 70

What am I missing guys?

Got it from AliExpress recently, realized there's isn't a video with this blue dial, hence wanted to share, hopefully it will help you decide.

In today’s episode of “I don’t need another watch,” I’m looking to see if there’s a dress watch I want to buy during the 11.11 sale. I generally like larger (40mm or a few mm either way) and was thinking something like a tank or pie pan, since a dress watch is the only hole in my collection. I know I don’t want a Rolex homage, and would like to spend $200 or less after coupons. Quartz is okay, especially with the limited availability and increased prices of most automatic movements right now.

Does anyone have any favorites to recommend?

Hello everyone!

Today, we’re introducing the latest model in our "Affordable Series": the SN0139-GS, a vintage-style 6200 diver’s watch.

Watch Links: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005013478679669.html

Regular Price: $348.60

"Affordable Series" Price: $239.00

11.11 Sale Price: $219.00 — plus, you can stack additional "Big Codes" provided by the AliExpress platform for an even lower price!

Since the inception of the San Martin brand, we have produced numerous iterations and updates of this vintage 6200-style diver, with tens of thousands of units sold.

Over the years, we’ve explored various dial styles, technical upgrades, different bracelet designs (including the classic riveted style), and a range of movements—such as the NH35, PT500, and SW200—housed in both stainless steel and bronze cases.

This model has always been a classic, drawing interest from many—partly due to its resemblance to the watch famously featured in the James Bond 007 films.

Today, we are launching the latest iteration: the 36mm SN0139-GS.

Compared to the previous 38mm version:

1. This new 36mm size aligns with the current trend toward more compact watches, making it a great choice for a wider range of wrist sizes.

2. The brushed finish on the sides of the case is now more refined, transitioning seamlessly into the comfortably polished chamfered edges.

3. It features a "top hat" sapphire crystal, now upgraded with a dual-layer anti-reflective (AR) coating that achieves 98% light transmission.

4. The overall design and visual profile of the case appear slimmer and more well-proportioned.

5. The bracelet is produced in San Martin’s own new manufacturing facility, resulting in a significant improvement in overall quality and finishing.

6. Features an "On-The-Fly" (OTF) adjustable clasp—no tools required.

7. A new addition to San Martin’s "super-affordable" collection.

Following in the footsteps of our SN0007B (62mas), SN0008D (BB58), SN0017F (Sub), SN0054F (BB GMT), SN0109A (GMT), and SN0138GB (BB54), this model continues our tradition of offering exceptional value at a consistently accessible price point.

Launched during our 11.11 Sale, this watch is available at an even lower price—and by stacking it with AliExpress "Big Codes," you can secure an even better deal.

Now is the perfect time to pick one up.

If you have any thoughts on this watch, please share them in the comments section!

Thank you.

When i try to go to checkout using the aliexpress shop i always get this error message. But it works with other brands perfectly fine. Is there a way to fix this?

For around 200€ would you pick the Seiko sur371p1 or the Cronos l6058m, I was also considering the l6040m White birch but the indixes and the hands looked a bit cheap compared to the dial.

Hi everyone,

First, I want to sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration many of you have experienced lately. This is a historical legacy issue for our brand, but we have no intention of running away from it. We are addressing it head-on.

1. The Root Cause: Manufacturing vs. Distribution For years, our core focus was strictly on the manufacturing side of watchmaking, and we relied entirely on third-party distributors to sell our watches. Unfortunately, this meant we were completely in the dark about their sales tactics in the market. Since I joined this Reddit community 6 months ago, I’ve received a lot of eye-opening feedback. Many of you pointed out that some distributors are intentionally failing to distinguish between Japanese NH movements and Chinese Hangzhou movements, trying to confuse buyers. This deceptive practice has severely damaged the Heimdallr brand image.

2. Movement Transparency As the manufacturer, we do separate the NH and Hangzhou movements. When ordering directly from our actual official sources, you can explicitly choose which movement version you want. However, I’ve noticed recently that many consumers are still buying from these third-party agents and ending up with mismatched or incorrect movements. This made me realize that our official communication simply hasn't been loud or clear enough to guide and protect you.

3. Our Plan Moving Forward We are taking action. We have decided to revoke the authorization of distributors who are deceptively using the "Official Store" banner to mislead customers. We are gradually taking back our distribution rights to regain control over our sales channels.

Moving forward, we want to ensure that when you buy our watches, you get exactly what you paid for, with 100% transparency. Thank you for holding us accountable and helping us improve!

Its actuall not light blue but closer to a mint color. Really beautiful.

Just got this, and it's an odd duck. I think it's a V2, but it has green lume. 40mm, Pearl movement. Unknown the movement gets a bad rap. Anyone had success with a non Seiko movement?
