Got this for 90 bucks. Surprisingly good fit and finish for the price. I’ve worn the 36mm Explorer and of course it’s on another level, and prefer the fit of that watch, but for the money this is a damn fine watch! I also agree that the micro adjustment system and extension are both major pains in the ass. After finally getting the fit correct, I hope to never touch either of those again.

Only I get close enough to see it and at this price I'm not complaining about it. Unfortunately I would not feel confident wearing this one as a beater and save it for special occasions for which it is absolutely fine. It's still a lovely watch and worth it at the price.

Here is why I love your reviews much more than any other reviews on the web. You don't care if the watch is swiss made or Chinese if it is a good watch its a good watch. I am active in many watch groups on FB and forums and most of people there are bunch of snobs... I have few microbrand swiss watches amd few San Martins and San Martin absolutely destroys and of them. If I say that most of the will laugh and say how the hell can Chinese watch be better than swiss. If I say Rolex should not be more than 2000-3000 euro and I would rather buy San Martin than give 1600 usd for Ginault they will make fun of it. I have never own a Ginault but it is a homage watch, does nit even hava signed clasp at 1600 usd pricepoint. I like milsub handes amd dimensions but common it is selita movement that I can get in San Martin for 350 usd... and my naked eye cannot see the difference in finishing really... I tried to compare my sn019g with submariner and I cant really see significant difference... so it all bullshit. I think I'm gonna quit those groups cause they are full of shit and just stick to your reviews. Keep up the good work mate and thx

@watchreviews4k Жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching Marko. Glad you enjoy my content. Agreed, there is a lot of snobbery in Facebook groups, and on watch forums. This is why I don't use them. I have reviewed everything from a 10 Euro Casio F-91W to a 20,000 Euro Rolex Daytona on my channel. I can afford a Rolex but don't want to own one now; due to the brand image, and the Rolex AD waiting list nonsense. I only own 2 pieces now, my Black Bay 58, and this PD-1692. Unlike many Rolex fanboys I don't down on collectors that own homage watches; such as Pagani Design, or San Martin. The branding on a watch doesn't matter to me. I am enjoy wearing my PD-1692 just the same as I would be wearing a Rolex Explorer. I don't care what Rolex fanboys think of my PD-1692 as I didn't buy it to seek validation from them I own an approved watch. My advice to collectors is buy the watch that gives you feel good factor, and you enjoy wearing. Don't be influenced by other collectors and buy the watch they approve of to seek validation. This is something I like about owning my Black Bay 58, and PD-1692; it sends a clear message to other collectors I am not a Rolex fanboy seeing validation from other Rolex fanboys. If a collector is happy wearing a PD-1661 or SN019-G, good for them. I don't look down on them because they can't afford a Rolex Submariner Date. The reality is the Submariner Date is a 2000 Euro watch, not worth 10,000 Euro. When I made my PD-1661 versus Submariner Date comparison video I stated that; the Submariner Date is a 2000 Euro watch in reality. Of course this made me a target for hatred from Rolex fanboys that are unable to look at a Submariner Date objectively. Pagani Design make good homages watches under 150 Euro. San Martin make good homage watches under 500 Euro. The reality is its not worth paying 14,000 Euro for a Submariner Date on the grey market, as its just a 2000 Euro watch. Regards, #WR4K

L'opération se fait alors très facilement en moins de 30 secondes. J'espère avoir été assez clair dans mes explications... Amitiés

I have a new watch with a NH35a movement. When my watch is a horizontal position, the beat error is 0.1ms with dial facing down and 4ms with the dial facing up. What do you think about the possible cause of this discrepancy/problem, and can the issue be solved?

@watchreviews4k Жыл бұрын

The beat rate of movements varies depending on position. This is why chronometer accuracy is tested with the movement in 5 positions, rather than just 1. The friction within the moving parts changes depending on the position. For example changing from horizontal to vertical changes the load on the jewels, and gears. Can the issue be solved? No. This is normal variation for an NH35A movement. Regulating the movement in 5 positions won't improve the beat rate. It will only improve the accuracy in seconds per day. Dirty lubricant, and wear in the moving parts, can affect the beat rate. Therefore breaking down a movement, ultrasonically cleaning the parts, then building it back up with clean lubricant, and regulating it; can improve both the accuracy and beat rate. However your movement is running with specification so this isn't worth doing. Regards, #WR4K

@stevenewtons7873 Жыл бұрын

@@watchreviews4k Thanks. In all my other watches, I noted that the beat error and rate are roughly the same, dial up or dial down, that's why I am asking. I am disappointed with this specific NH35A movement / watch since I have been able to regulate well a Paulareis movement in a 35€ watch and all my other NH35A watches work perfectly well.

@ccooper8785 Жыл бұрын

In my experience NH35 and 38 movements are vastly over-hyped by reviewers. The Chinese clones are even worse. The longer the power reserve the worse the accuracy. The fact that they are automatic also makes the movement and thus the watch overly thick. I have a collection of automatic watches but only because they are not offered with quartz movements.

Two San Martin Agents; Jassy Hu (Watchdives), and Jason (San Martin Official Store), accidently sent me the same watch to review; a blue SN008-G. This caused conflict between the aforementioned, as they both wanted me to review their stock on my channel. Liao Jiaming (San Martin Owner) became aware of the conflict, and asked me to choose one of the Agents. I chose Watchdives as they stock a plethora of brands, rather than just San Martin. San Martin Official Store then stopped supplying me with watches. Watchdives have sent me some San Martin; however the wholesale price per piece is much higher than other brands they retail; therefore they prefer to promote other brands with higher profit margin per piece. The prices the Agents are allowed to retail at are set by Liao Jiaming, as is the wholesale price per piece. This prevents Agents undercutting each other in competition selling at a lower retail. The accident of both Agents sending me the same watch to review happened as the Agents don't communicate with each other, they only communicate with Liao Jiaming the owner. Regards, #WR4K

Same god awful bracelet. Like you point out the quick adjust is just too stiff on my 'Air king' and the spring bars are so difficult to get to they are practically impossible to use.

@watchreviews4k Жыл бұрын

I recommend the Bergeon 6767F spring bar tool (see link below). This has a fine 2 prong fork which fits inside the slot inside the micro adjuster. I found removing a screw from the bracelet to open it gives better access. Once the spring bar has been depressed, and the micro adjuster tilted, one can then prise under the other end to disengage it from the body; then slide it to the next pair of dimples. It is fiddly, however using the aforementioned tool and method it makes it easier.
