I agree with you completely on the thickness of the bezel. Once I noticed that I couldn't unsee it. That clasp also looked quite chunky when seen alongside the Watch Dives version. Shame really, as I'm a big fan of Baltany watches. Good, honest review as usual John.

These are much better than the 39 mm. I fully agree about the bezel proportions. But brown isn't really my cup of tea and the only alternative is that matte black. I'd rather have a glossy jet black or at a least a black sunburst.

That brown dial is absolutely gorgeous, even though I'd feel the need for an espresso every time I'd look at it. I don't like Mercedes hands in general and I think a normal baton style hour hand would have accentuated the simplicity of the design and the beautiful execution thereof. I'd have liked the other one to be a deeper black, piano lacquer style or sunburst would've both worked for me.

I have tried to like the 36mm watch but on my 7 in wrist the 39mm case size is truly, as you say often, the Goldilocks size for my wrist. It's nice to see these companies listening to the consumers request which I feel is often lacking in the bigger, more familiar brand watches, that often charge a lot more for the same value. Wonderful review and one thing you brought to my attention, I never thought a signed crown was a big deal to me but once I seen the upgrade Baltany did, by signing their crown; I must say it was really a nice extra touch to the overall look to the watch.

The dial color is uniquely beautiful, like a mix of coffee and burgundy. The sapphire is clearly better when placed side-by-side with the cheaper watch. The rest is in line with an Alie watch at this price level. It would be nice to have an OTF bracelet. It may cost 10usd more but it is well worth it. Overall a very nice watch for slim wrists

Thank you for the comparison with details that I probably wouldn't have thought of (bezel size, clasp). I was leaning towards the black dial, but based on your pictures it looks like the washed-out dark grey that San Martin has used so often, and I was never fond of that. Sunburst brown then?

I think I might prefer the watch dives one. I don't mind the slimmer crown if its a quartz. I wish they had gone with a brown tropical fume dial like the Smiths Commando. I loved that dial but sold it on as L2L made it a bit small for my medium wrist and it also had a horrible gappy clasp too (I hate gappy clasps). Personally I think at that price point OTF adjust would help them sell a lot more units. Looking at that Artem strap I wondered if you have tried the NorthStar sail cloth ones. I can't find any reviews on them?

I’d go for the brown, I think the black dial is a bit dull mat looking, probably chosen to give it a vintage look along with fauxtina.
