What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Tissot Gentleman Open Heart

Owners widely praise the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart for its versatile dressy-sporty aesthetic and elegant sunburst dial finish, with one owner preferring its less shiny blue dial compared to other versions. The watch offers excellent fit and bracelet adjustability, and its modified Powermatic 80 movement achieves COSC-level accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds/day, though the seconds hand movement is slightly less smooth at 6 movements per second. However, one owner reported the watch arrived non-functional, requiring a return due to an inoperable movement. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart highly for its aesthetic appeal and accurate timekeeping, despite a reported instance of a faulty movement.
