Like Serica, each new model pricing is exceeding the previous one : do they have enough history to do that ?
Breitlings are more expensive with "basic" movements, but they are Breitling.

They confirm a SW-510M, which is a manual version of the SW510, based itself on a Valjoux 7750... nothing spectacular technically.
I just have a doubt, for Watchbase describe sonly two counters

Otherwise, the power reserve matches with the 63 hours they announced.

I like it, but not for the price

Exactly my feeling. It's sad it has to be like that, and this phenomenon affects many of the more successful microbrands. They make you pay for the name that have made for himself, not for the intrinsic quality of the watch.

You actually pay for 3 watches.

Baltic MR-01 design is amazing. I'm probably going to grab one myself soon. Didn't know about these micro brands. Thanks for the post.
