What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver

The Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver is a 40mm hand-wind watch with a black dial, acrylic crystal, and FKM rubber strap, powered by a Sellita SW210 manual wind movement. Owners report the watch gained one second per day, and it comes with a QC and timing report. Some find the Desk Diver a unique novelty, though many consider its $1500 price too high. The watch has 0 meters of water resistance, and its vintage case may show small marks. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver as a unique novelty, with the primary reservation being its high price for its perceived playful nature.

Baltic MR Roulette

The Baltic MR Roulette is praised for its vintage-inspired roulette dial with multi-sector, multi-layer, and asymmetrical design, and faceted dauphine hands. Reviewers highlight the dial's depth created by contrasting textures like circular brushing and glossy or grained sectors, and the 36mm case's vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs. The watch uses a Hangzhou micro-rotor movement. However, reviewers note the micro-rotor movement can feel rattly and loose, producing a jangly sound when tapped. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Roulette's distinctive dial design and vintage aesthetic, despite the noted movement characteristics.

From video reviewers

The MR Roulette's excellent finishing, particularly on the case and the bezel, is a notable strength. The bracelet's noise when moved around is a shared weakness. Reviewers do not explicitly disagree on any specific point.
