What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Makydo 38

Owners widely praise the Makydo 38 for its excellent finishing and comfortable wearability as a daily watch. The mosaic dial and leather watch roll are noted as distinctive inclusions. However, some question its value proposition at the stated price point, and one owner reported a negative customer service experience; opinion on the asymmetrical case shape is split, with some finding it interesting and classy while others are less convinced. Overall, owners rate the Makydo 38 highly for its finishing quality and practical daily-wear comfort, though pricing remains a point of contention in the community.

Baltic MR Roulette

The Baltic MR Roulette is praised for its vintage-inspired roulette dial with multi-sector, multi-layer, and asymmetrical design, and faceted dauphine hands. Reviewers highlight the dial's depth created by contrasting textures like circular brushing and glossy or grained sectors, and the 36mm case's vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs. The watch uses a Hangzhou micro-rotor movement. However, reviewers note the micro-rotor movement can feel rattly and loose, producing a jangly sound when tapped. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Roulette's distinctive dial design and vintage aesthetic, despite the noted movement characteristics.

From video reviewers

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.
