I have several SM watches and all are finished very well. Shipping was fine from China to the US. All watches seemed to be regulated, as they all keep good time. All that said, SM needs to move away from the NH35 for their no date watches. The NH38 is available, for the price they are charging they just should make the change. Typed this before hearing your comments on the movement - you are right.

I own a Turor Black Bay but I'd have no issue wearing a San Martin. They put alot of care into their watches for the price,. I do agree with the ghodt date issue however. It's time they addressed that once and for all.

Definitely - Baltany use the NH38, so unsure why SM don't do the same. Thanks for watching!! 👍👍

It my favorite but good review as always. I just got the watchdives nttd. It’s awesome. Running in COSC standards and fits my wrist well. Titanium makes it so lite. Only issue is the bezel. I know it’s titanium but I’ve had way better titanium bezels. I’m happy with the watch tho

I actually purchased one of these very recently. I own a few high end watches but am happy to accomodate anything i like in the collection. I love warm tones and gold in watches and this looked great online and is even better in the flesh. However...the bracelet is VERY edgy indeed. Top and underside, so much so that I will be rounding off the underside edges myself as it does become uncomfortable after a period of wear. All in all very happy though...it costs 1% of some of my other pieces, so there really is no argument in terms of bang for buck!

@TimeForAnotherWatch 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info. It's interesting to hear that your bracelet is also very edgy underneath. On mine, it's only slightly edgy underneath...and only on the far corners of the links. These don't make contact with my wrist, as the links lay flat, so I've not experienced any discomfort at all. Glad to hear that you're enjoying it overall though. Thanks for watching!! 👍👍

@keithburford8589 2 ай бұрын

Hands down a Jubilee is the most comfortable bracelet out there , but in this instance with the polished centre links it detracts too much from the dial. A fully brushed oyster 'style' would suit it much better in my opinion or something akin to the Uncle Seiko Lincoln ( which I have on my BB58 as the OG bracelet is shite ! ). However my main bugbear with San Martin watches , with the exception of one and I have mentioned this elsewhere , is that ruddy hexagonal logo as it puts me off a cracking looking piece time and again. Anyways nicely done review.

This dial really could've done without the white text. Not every watch needs to have that, especially if you're just printing it over the dial pattern as an afterthought without even bothering to match the color to the pallete.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review. The brown watch strap that you feature in the video seems to be different from the link that you gave. Is the 20mm maroon colored strap in the link the same one that you feature on the watch in your video?

I have a Tudor Prince Oysterdate too. Nice watch; have had it for 40 years. Impresses people; but the San Martin has a better crystal, more water resistance, better lume and better bracelet for 1/10 th the price. Most people don't know that some Seikos were 'cased' in China. My point; Chinese watches match Japanese and are an incredible value.

Beware collectors, I constantly hear reviews showering sm with praise regarding their quality. I've purchased 2 of their watches in the high $200 to $325 range. Both had stripped screws in their SS bracelets, preventing those links from being removed when I needed to size the bracelets. $125 Pagani Design watches never have this problem, and I own over 10 PDs.

@TimeForAnotherWatch 2 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear that. That's not been my experience with San Martin bracelets. I've never had a stripped screw from them and I've lost count of the number of their watches that I've had.
