Very interesting side by side comparison. I understand why the Baltic aquasaphe "wins". It's an amazing watch and I've considering buying one…until the day I was able to put my hand on the CW C65 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC. Sorry to say that, the case, the thin bezel, the dial in its Ombré version, the Sellita SW200 COSC movement, the subtle presence of bronze, even the general proportion makes the C65 win the first place for me. 😍

This was a TOUGH one, it was very close. If I didn't have date/size hang ups, I think the CW wins. The thin bezels are so great! CWs are just gorgeous. :)

Thank you for this review Norman. I'm intense looking for an affordable BlancPain Bathyscaphe alternative. So the closest so far seems the Baltic Aquascaphe. But I just found now the *Richard LeGrand Oceanfarer*, which seems also quite great (a brand from Singapore as I found out). Especially the blue one with the sunburst dial. The price apears also quite great. Maybe that would be a good compare video to the Baltic. Cheers

Yeah! Oh I'll have to check out the Oceanfarer! I actually don't have either of these anymore :/ They helped fund the Serica 5303 - however I miss the Baltic and will probably be re-adding one to the collection at some point :) Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you! Yeah - even though the Baltic won - I really love the C65. It is a really gorgeous watch. At 40mm / 20mm lugs it would be an absolute killer!

Super cool rating system and I like how you did a score based on your own biases and then for what the general consensus would likely be. I too am a fan more of the Baltic! Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have either but between the two, that Baltic is phenomenal as you put it! Cool vid, thanks for sharing! 😎🍻👍

You have a nice house Norman. I like it 👍 Great battle. Man, the CW looks like a better built piece. CW wins hands down for me. Great battle. The watches look so similar to one another.

Bad comparison. The correct CW to compare would be the Aquitaine and it slaps the Baltic from all angles. If you give the Baltic a 1 on the dial the cw deeerves a 2 . Much more micro detail.

When I made this video I wasn't even aware of the Aquitaine. Dang! Those are gorgeous! And have dot indices!! Man if I had seen these back before I got my Armida I would have totally gone for one! I actually like the smaller no-bezel variant. Thanks for passing that along!

@@KillingTimeWithNorman I believe the non bezel one is called the Dune and it’s available in bronze even. Also lovely but i prefer the Aquitaine. Just received an email from CW my green one is despatched. Kinda regret not ordering it on a bracelet . It’s just perfect inproportion. Dots bezel dial everything.

Tbh I wouldn't dive in either ,I have an Orient M Force Bravo for that but it's a no comprimize diver and people really want desk divers that they can wear every day so these fit the bill.

Yeah those Orients look to be pretty hardcore! For me personally divers and pieces like the CWC are simply tool watches - so snorkelling, vacations, camping etc. So nothing as rigorous as a full on dive dive watch :)
