The San Martin 62 mas is one of my favourite watches regardless of where it is from. I love it. I also have the mechanical chronograph and again it's one of my favourites. In total I think I have eight more San Martin watches.

@MrPinkfloyd I agree. San Martin have successfully showed the Swiss Watch industry up for what it is: a game of smoke and mirrors.

If you buy a chapter ring and a bezel insert made for the SKX007 from the Namoki website, they will fit. I also have links for the white on black GMT chapter ring and the Batman GMT bezel insert below my video.

Would using a NH38 be easier?

@watchmebuildit 6 күн бұрын

The NH38 has no date complication and this dial has a date window. Apparently this dial is a little thicker than others, therefore it is beyond tolerance.

@@watchmebuildit thanks for your reply! I forgot about the dial having a date window, my bad. I am considering a no date milsub dial with this case. Thanks for your video! I hope that the namoki milsub dial is not as thick if not I might just buy the Baltic Dual Crown.

You may be onto a winner with the milsub dial. If you do need to reduce the thickness of the movement holder, it really is not difficult. I have made a how-to video just for that

Hi Neal. The link for the clasp is in the description below the video

Hey there Lee. Truth be told, I was really IMPRESSED at how well this case wears. With the flat sapphire, it’s only 13mm thick. The bracelet is also very wearable with 20mm - 16mm dimensions. But your point is valid, kinda like the new ‘Mini’ vs. the original or the new Fiat 500 vs. The original - all of our modern requirements have swelled the size for sure.

I’m usually not fan of Chinese brand names but Seestar fits and looks so well on a diver. The only thing I would critique is the bracelet, it’s just too thick at the clasp area. If it would only taper down from 20mm to 16mm.

@watchmebuildit 10 күн бұрын

Hi @adamw7411 - you are right, certain Chinese brands are investing heavily where it counts. Apparently Seestern is ‘Starfish’ in German - which makes sense! If 2mm on the bracelet at the clasp is your greatest concern, then I’d say they’ve done really well

One guy that seems to have his stuff stitched together well is Koda Watches. I’ve never dealt with him, but he may be worth asking. There is also Red5 watches, but I think he’s closed his books to new clients. All of them are on Instagram

That’s a good idea - although I modded mine and it became the base for this idea 😄. So if you look at this video where I introduce the MB78, at the end I compare the new model with an old one - the old one IS the BB58. I’m sorry about the tight pins. In future if you encounter that problem, squirt a little Q20 onto the link and leave it for 10 minutes before trying again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn2bl4mHfrZrkLMsi=zSMz5fG66qX2TJ8P

Oh No! That is truly surprising. They seldom make mistakes, but when they do, they are quick to fix them.

Your mods look great! Its strange that this comes with a mineral crystal the specs on their website say the following: Crystal: "Acrylite 8N specialty vintage high-dome acrylic" Depending on how the crystal is mounted I have had great success replacing sapphire crystals with Sternkreuz accrylics (ATCT) while maintaining WR for that acrylic vibe. Don't look down on 100m WR dive watches, in the early days Cousteau and all the SCUBA pioneers used watches with 100m or less and non-click bezels (except for BP who started the unidirectional thing. In fact the ISO standards came in around the mid Nineties, well past the heyday of dive watches as essential bottom timing tools so mostly the ISO certification ironically had zero impact on any watches acually used for that purpose.

@watchmebuildit 2 ай бұрын

@Leec - a super helpful post. Thank you. I may have misunderstood the composition of the crystal. If it is acrylic I should be able to buff out any minor scratches. If that is the case, I owe DWC an apology! Thank you too for your insight regarding specification on WR. You are absolutely on the money, for the purposes of most mortals 100m is more than enough.
