Thank you for visiting my channel page. My name is Mike and I have an obsession for watches old and new. I have been a hobbyist watchmaker since 2016 and in that time I have gained extensive knowledge on watch restoration and servicing. I have now setup this channel to create reviews on watches I own from my personal collection and on watches on loan or provided to the channel for review. It will be combination of vintage and modern and from high end to budget. I am no watch snob and my tastes are wide ranging.
I also have another channel called My Retro Watches where I show restorations and tutorials of watches from a hobbyist point of view.

Baltany 1926 Oyster Tribute Quartz: Full Review
I have that Baltany and absolutely love it.
Cronos or baltany/milifortic or octopus explorer?
Haha so many to choose from
I had the "no subdials" version, as a kind of homage to the Nautilus. The finish was exceptional but I resold it for something thinner. However, now with these subdials, it belongs imo to an other category : even if it's a calendar, it has the look of a big chrono, and than completely changes my approach / I think I'm going to buy one.
Milifortic
Thanks for spotting that
@@mywatchreviews You are welcome
I bought the "avocado" version of this watch on the 11.11 sale. It was my first experience with San Martin, and I was so impressed that I ordered the root beer version immediately after getting the first one. According to tracking data, it is in a cargo plane somewhere over the Pacific Ocean right now.
The monochrome version that Baltany should have made (branded as Baltany).
Valuable review as always. I'm not really sure why the division in branding if they're both operating at the same price point. Certainly Baltany have a more vintage design aesthetic, maybe they wanted freedom to explore (ha!) more modern homages without diluting the original branding. As for this one, if anything it looks like too good an homage, verging on a clone. It's a decent enough watch at a reasonable price with a popular look.
Te dan un reloj y no pones ni una descripción del producto
Excuse me? I show inside , outside, measurements, accuracy , price , my opinion. How is this not describing the watch?
I have the 1918 and I love it. ❤ And now I've decided to pick up the 1945 in grey. 👍
Good review 👍. I can't see why this isn't just branded Baltany, and I prefer the vintage look of the Baltany you have anyway.
Leave the case and bracelet alone, maybe on adjustable clasp but make the dial and hands more unique. Stick hour hand like the old Rolex and a 12 and 6 dial, all indices or a 2,6,10 - just different.
I don't really care for the Milifortic branding. I would have preferred Baltany to just release these models without tropic dials.
Now I like that dial, better than the Baltany to me. Think I might buy one.
I guess there could be an (eventual?) benefit if they have MiliFortic registered in a different country than Baltany in terms of tarrifs/taxes etc (even if all the watches are made in the same place) ?
A neat watch .. Yes Please - the comparison would be interesting.
Very cool but don’t understand why it exists. I would probably buy the Baltany anyway. Mainly because I like the name better. Thanks for the great review!
Kind of what I was hinting at in the video. Milifortic have other models that are not in the Baltany range so it’s just surprising this one is.
Or do what I did a couple of years ago and build your own for half the price 😂. Only differences are jubilee bracelet, red seconds hand and sterile dial.
Fair enough Tom but not everyone can do that.
@@mywatchreviews it’s a good way to get into watch fiddling though Mike and doesn’t need a lot of tools. It helped me get started.
Thanks for this review..I was about to buy it and you showed me several things I don't like about this watch. 👍👍
I agree with you about the size. 35 - 39 mm is the best diameter for normal wrists.
It looks kind of familiar to me too ;)
If I only was rich, and not so pretty ;)

How in heaven is it "stolen" when the design that inspired this watch was abandoned after 1987? Nearly 40 years ago! That design was itself full of elements which had appeared before in other brands. Keep things in context!
Hello can someone please mention how to quick change the month complication? I thought it was the push button on top of the crown but it doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks
Stumbled upon this watch on Ali and had to buy it. I was delighted to find your very thoroughly detailed review while waiting for it to arrive. Thank you! Subscribed and will check out more of your videos.
Be warned: I have ordered and received this watch, and have a small wrist at 6 1/2in which is why I have mostly 36mm to 38mm watches. Yet this is the only watch whose bracelet does not fit! It doesn't have enough screw links to be removed to allow for a proper fit and balance on the wrists. I've even moved the micro adjust to the max yet still not fitting my wrist. I'm utterly disappointed considering how nice the watch is, and let down by a poorly designed bracelet.
I will say the one thing I absolutely do not like about these watches is the crown is not a screw down. To me, you cannot call these watches true divers, even with the locking crown. This is why you see many of these with corrosion inside the movement. Without having a proper screw down crown is a no go as a true "diver" and the irony is Seiko knew this even in 60's- 70's but still made the 6105-8110 without it and I cannot for the life of me understand why. Seem to me it was more effort fitting the case with the small locking pin than a screw down crown. Needless to say this tampered my enthusiasm for the Captian Willard and other early Seiko divers without a screw down crown. They did this same crap replacing the ISO 6425 certified SKX007 with the five replacment loosing the screw down crown and to add more insult, charged more for it. This is why I will always be a Rolex-Tudor fan. They are the definition of a divers tool watch. Even Steeldive knows this, hence a proper screw down crown. The current Seiko reissues, which I just purchased the SBC 317 slim tutrle reissue of the 6105-8000, has a proper screw down crown and even better, drilled lugs for easy strap changes. At a PX base in 1970, a Tudor 7021 Submariner would have been about $20 more than the Seiko 8110 and with a proper screw down crown and would have been the better purchase.
You need to go to my main channel and see my restoration video on the original . The crown on the original does lock . The owner was a mine clearing diver in the Navy and then a saturation diver on the rigs and he used this original Willard that never failed on him. Proper tool watch that was made for purpose. Water tight it was. You don’t need screw down as the br all and end all . Good gaskets and tight tolerances will achieve enough water proofing for most.
@mywatchreviews I will, however as you know, there is a difference between the Seiko locking crown and a screw down. You even see the bigger differences at higher depths and while some such as yourself feel a screw down is not necessary to be a "diver" , ISO 6425 certification says other. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. BTW, I also have the Steeldive 1970 arriving tomorrow.
Is the dial enamel?
What a beauty 🔥
Brietling
Yes I like Chinese watch Atelier Wen with the purple dial
Thank you for this. There are a lot of reviews of this watch on youtube, but this comparison is priceless. What a wonderful opportunity. This was the last little push I needed to order one for myself.
Glad it was helpful!
Please consider the Rdunae Rx2, it's more authentic than any other affordable homage. Aluminium bezel insert, clear AR coating on the dome crystal and white lume. Small differences (also 19mm lugs) and a fabulous Chocolate Bar strap. 19mm straps and bracelets are plentiful these days, Although a 19mm waffle in FKM is more expensive than the 20mm version. Nothing wrong with the Steeldive at all, bargain but has modern touches. The Rdunae is just more 1968 if that is important to you. Enjoy whichever you choose.
What a nice video. You have a new subscriber!Really cool offering from AMZWATCH! I love the black dial. Great!
Great video I watched a review about four years ago and bough one haven’t had it of my wrist since I got it and keeps great time for the price thanks again for your review side by side
The sugess s447 DJ homage is the same price and has better quality and finishing plus a high beat movement st2130 legal ETA clone.
Sick looking watch. I want it. It's a shame they never made a gold version of it.
beautiful watch , maybe the only downside is lacking 24 hour format
Dont you love those San Martin boxes . And great watches too .
Never liked gold watches , but that's me . Baltany good though . Getting better , like San Martin , upping the ante somewhat .
I have one , these are good watches . Solar too , nice .
OOOOHHH yes i love this . I have a few vintage watches , but a new decent vintage look alike is very welcome . I have a couple of Baltany watches , and the quality is good . Great vid , just found you .
wow you gave this beautiful watch a autopsy lol
I love this watch, thanks for the micros, it's helping
Se ve precioso esperaré la reseña. Salú2 desde Puebla México.
To those complaining about the screw-down pushers... you just leave them unscrewed, right? How is this 'worse' than pushers that don't screw down and can't go in the water?
Love the look, but wish they kept the prior bracelet.
Is it just me or hands and indexes lume colour is different?
$257 USD delivered is lowest seen so far.
