    I agree with your comment - I hope to see Baltic sometime in the future offer their watches in larger sizes for those of us with larger wrists! Love you Baltic - please make this happen!

    Not sure about the 36mm because my wrist is about 8", but for sure since I live near Paris, I'll visite their showroom, the real challenge will be to leave the showroom with only one piece in hend. I love all their collections 🤩

    The MR01 is a heck of a nice dress watch. Would love to own one but it seems that they sell out before you find out that they are in stock.

    Love the polish and pop of the applied numerals and handset. The micro-rotor movement looks well decorated, too, as you say. I’d love to see this in a 40mm…if we’re throwing out suggestions like that!

    It's a nice watch and one of the few Salmon dial watches available, but at 36mm it misses the mark for most people. It needs to be 40mm at least, and up to 43mm for my larger wrists.

    Other than the Crown missing some type of logo it's a really well done job

    I have this watch and it is quite good. I prefers the salmon dial for myself.

    It's interesting that you highlight the off centre subdial as space saving and the dial as spacious. I think Baltic makes some very good designs and I understand that some are attracted to this piece. I've always ascribed the attention to the MR01 to be due to the use of the microrotor movement implemented by a non-AliExpress brand. For me, however, the key weak point of the MR01 is that I find the dial comes across as overcrowded. Both the subdial and the numerals seem a little oversized. I don't find it unattractive, but even Baltic themselves usually achieve a better balance.

    My son got it as a bar mitzvah gift. It's a beautiful watch. It feels just a tiny bit cheap. I have some decent watches and was a bit disappointed. But only in comparison to my other much nicer watches.

    This model have a lot of complaints everywhere. So many people keep returning it for movement service. People who want to buy it should know this beforehand.

      it‘s true, I also had to send it in. No it‘s fine again bit left a bit of a bitter taste. Not sure if I would buy it again. But the design and bracelet is really beautiful!

      If it seems to good to be true ....

    You refer to the placement of the subdial as a design choice. This isn't accurate. That was all dictated by the design of the movement itself.
    As an owner, and having had an original Polerouter serviced, I have concerns about the longevity of the movement, especially the rotor bearings.

    These are rebranded Chinese watches with a lot of quality issues.
