Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely report poor customer service and shipping delays, with some experiencing watches that arrived non-functional and others noting sharp case edges. Conversely, some owners praise the watch's quality and appearance for the price, highlighting its clean, Bauhaus-inspired design and comfortable fit. Some in the community consider it a fashion watch, while others enjoy its daily wearability and modern aesthetic. On balance, owners and reviewers find Lilienthal Berlin watches to be stylish with a clean design, but significant concerns exist regarding customer service and build quality consistency.
The Baltic MR Roulette features a 36mm case with vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs, and a vintage roulette-styled dial with multi-sector design. Reviewers note the dial textures create a perception of depth, with contrasting brushed and grained surfaces. The Hangzhou 5000A micro-rotor movement is visually appealing but described by reviewers as feeling rattly and producing a jangly sound when tapped. Overall, reviewers highlight the MR Roulette's unique dial design and finishing, despite some reservations about the micro-rotor movement's sound and feel.
The MR Roulette's excellent finishing, particularly on the case and the bezel, is a notable strength. The bracelet's noise when moved around is a shared weakness. Reviewers do not explicitly disagree on any specific point.
