What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Baltic Scalegraph Classic

Owners widely praise the Baltic Scalegraph Classic for its stunning retro racing design, detailed dial, and 39.5mm case size, with many finding it offers excellent value. However, some owners report issues with finishing and fit, describing the watches as light or "toylike," while others find the finishing comparable to higher-end brands. Reviewers and owners alike criticize the screw-down chronograph pushers as finicky and impractical, especially given the 100m water resistance which some feel is conceptually incongruent with its rally timer purpose. One owner experienced misaligned bezel markers and moisture ingress after pool use, leading to a return. On balance, owners and reviewers value the Baltic Scalegraph Classic's aesthetic and value proposition, though practical usability concerns regarding the chronograph pushers and isolated quality control issues are noted.
