I’m relatively new to the watch game and I’m picking out my next watch. I came across the Baltic MR01 and I think the dial of this watch is absolutely gorgeous and I think the movement looks really cool also.

The thing is, I couldn’t help but think why other major brands don’t use movements like this until a much higher price point. Why do other automatic movements in this price range look rather bland in comparison? The other watches I could find with a beautiful movement like this were 2 - 3 times the price. (I’m thinking of the nomos club ref #: 703.1 and Hamilton aviation pilot pioneer ref #: H76719530

TLDR: what’s the catch with this watch?

    I can’t specifically say for Baltic but you should not have any customs or tax issues unless the value is over $800 us(check that could be $600)Then you will either get pinged by the shipper to pay before they deliver or you will get something from the state you live in to pay taxes maybe a week or months later. I have ordered from other places in their region and that’s what happened to me.
