So a lot of fearmongering and brouhaha in this thread among some actually useful advice but in the small chance you read this: Baltics CS is pretty good and with a 2 year warranty, any initial QC issue should show up early and be well within its warranty period. They pay for shipping and any fixes. Also idk why people are lying and saying normal watchmakers won’t know how to fix it: it’s a simple automatic movement that happens to have a micro rotor. Any watchmaker who can’t service it should be avoided for all services.

And finally, I can’t speak to its long term durability with certainty but other micro brand watches have been using this movement for a few years now and I’ve seen very little complaint about it. This is in contrast to some other new movements such as the ETA clones form STP and LJP that have had well publicized teething issues from limited use by microbrands.

Bought an HM002 from them. No taxes, shipped and received within a week. Shipping is free above (I think?) $80 which all their watches are over so you’ll def get free shipping.

They’re like $2.8K brand new from reputable grey dealers. Cartier, as much as I love them, is one of those brands where its probably not worth buying from an AD unless its more expensive ones where you don’t wanna take the risk with warranties if anything goes wrong.
