Thanks to all who made this head to head to head possible! The Tudor is nice, and the movement is a belter, but you pay massively for the brand these days. If you are OK with a clomage, then these two have the looks for a fraction of the cash. But which one, if either, should you buy? Watch on! Cheers, Jody

[@mercster]

As a man for whom a $100 watch is a major expenditure, this video is right up my alley. :-) Thanks Jodi!

[@alfieakaronaldog]

Why? Would it not have been just as good if Tudor were left out of it?

[@mercster]

@@alfieakaronaldog Absolutely it would! But it wasn't :-) I havent seen a video of the SM vs. Tudor. You ok over there bud? You frothing a bit?

[@alfieakaronaldog]

Budget for some double sided tape when the bezel falls off 😉

[@alfieakaronaldog]

All joking and sarcasm aside. There are better ways to spend your $100 on a watch. Stop trying to be something you are not, and make more effort to be the guy that can buy the Tudor.

[@alfieakaronaldog]

[@progenji6970]

The San Martin looks brilliant, I have to say that I always thought the tudor looks a bit out of proportion but the San Martin is absolutely stunning.

[@brianlehmkuhl8162]

This video has everything: -Two more watches than a normal single watch review -average sized wrists -pocket shots -oxymorons (plastic tin) -jazz music -photocopiers set at .95 -lume shots -Champaign vs opaline -61 extra Pagani watches -vestigial divers extensions -tonal mismatches -UGS -Fairy tale references -and Jody's famous "Helooooo" Thank you

[@ayeyo2711]

The San Martin’s plain oyster bracelet being reused on many of their watches isn’t a bad thing at all IMO. It’s the cleanest and best looking bracelet design and I would prefer it over rivets any day.

[@calebnewton_]

The Pagani has the best proportions for my tiny wrist so I would definitely go for that one. The price is an extra bonus, and the movement!

[@anonymousname2507]

Great review! It’s amazing how well these homages do even when sitting next to the watch they are based on. When all 3 were first shown I thought the San Martin was the Tudor until I looked closer!

[@acftmxman]

Jody, I really appreciate these kind of reviews. It is nice to see how the homages get to the original. Money is a resource that should be used wisely. That being said, I love the fact that there are the San Martin’s and Pagani Design’s out there. If you are not sure a Tudor would be for you, better to try the homage first and see. Also, I just can’t see paying over $1k for a watch. I appreciate how they are made and with my experience in metalworking I know what it takes. Just too hard for me to pull the trigger. A big thank you to Mr. X, San Martin Official Store and Trendy’s so you could make this happen.

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

maybe just buy ONE really nice watch.. I started in Longines, and that gave me a taste of what a premium or entry level luxury watch felt like. It is very satisfying and a noticable difference from the affordable sector. Having said that, it also makes you appreciate what you can get for $500. Take a look at the Longines Conquest line.. for $1225 you get a fine timepiece with heritage and prestige. In fact on Joma they like $900 if you're willing to put up with their shenanigans and wait however long (I dont suggest it).

[@acftmxman]

@@robbiecleighmarks3088 I’ve have thought about it. I have quite a few Seiko’s and the dial work and the finishing are incredible. I just wish their QC was better when it comes to dial/hands/bezel alignment. You can spend $1500 on a Seiko and have misalignment.

[@randomchannel323]

I agree it's financially irresponsible to pay that much but I would go for the original Tudor instead of the knockoffs

[@Megatraum504]

i don't disagree in the slightest, however, i wish more people held this sentiment for clones/reps. The value on some clones is incredible. People have no issue buying crappier homage watches that try desperately to look like something else barring the logo. But the minute you mention love/interest for reps, people will typically be super dismissive and shit on you. It is rather mind boggling.

[@randomchannel323]

@@Megatraum504 I think the main reason is when owning something like an AP or Patek it communicates that you have wealth and having a fake means you do not possess the wealth you are trying to show off / fake

[@taiguy4961]

Funny thing is, I use the diver extension on my PD Chrono all the time while wearing the watch at work. It is just enough to relax the watch when my wrist swells and then I lock it in after work. I use the micro adjustment for fitment through the year but on almost a regular, I am popping my extension open and close.

[@hyperchord]

Same. I could never get over the chunkiness of the black bay. I love their designs, I love the price point and everything else about Tudor, but I just can't wear that watch. Its just too odd a case shape (for me)

Great video as always Jody - thanks ! Have to say the music was a little annoying and distracting for me though 🙄

[@FrankieTech]

Great video Jody! Love all you do. Just wanted to share few tips on adding music to your videos: - Having too many songs in one video can be distracting for viewers, I would pick one or two and just loop them again and again. It helps with the continuity of the video. - Really didn’t love the first two tracks, but the two bossa nova inspired tracks and the downtempo 5th track are really nice. I would definitely recommend looping these, and people will learn to love them. - Definitely know as a creator the excitement of including music with your videos. All of the music in my videos are my own creations so I always hope people love them. That being said, I do think you cranked up the volume a tad too high in this one. I typically go minus 30dB on the main tracks, and closer to minus 15dB on my intro and outro music. I find that a good level most people accept. Try looping the two or three best songs and then lower the volume a bit and you’ll be golden. All in all amazing comparison! I owned this BB Chrono previously and do consider it worth the money for what it’s offering as a column wheel chronograph. Please don’t take my comment as anything more than constructive criticism from someone who also loves to include music in their videos. Keep up the great work and cheers from Hong Kong! 🍻

[@TJuvis]

Hey there Jody, I have to leave a bit of feedback. I watched this review on a smart TV using its own speakers and I've got to say the music was more distracting than anything else. Sometimes your words blended with the music and I couldn't hear what you were saying. Despite all that I was glad once again to get my JOMW fix.

[@matt5745]

I personally like the diver extensions as my wrist size will change pending the weather. It’s just slight enough that an extension allows a looser fit in hotter weather without messing with links

[@GeeMood]

Nice comparison review Jody! San Martin is killin it lately, IMHO. I actually like the look of the San Martin more than the Tudor, it seemed the most proportionate. I think my 1st San Martin will be their SN012, "original cough HELM VANUATU cough design", which again, I like more than what it's homaging. I just purchased that MIDO OCEAN STAR GMT you reviewed a while back, so it might be a minute before I get that San Martin though lol. JOMW always top notch reviews!

[@LuckyLuchReyes]

[@kevjaffray]

Great comparison Jody. Not too sure about the 70s porno soundtrack though 😂. It's a real shame with that Tudor lume, they got it right with their BB58 so no reason to not get it as good on the chrono.

[@kart182]

I love this kind of video, really puts things into perspective and shows exactly where money gets you more and where it doesn’t. Thank you!

[@rbmwiv]

I picked up the same Tudor only 3 months old for $3,000 USD. I had the Pagani first and then the Tudor came up and I had the funds and pulled the trigger. Don’t regret it got a hell of a watch for a hell of a price.

[@Area_man115]

I just ordered the Pagani. With the snowflake hour hand and the snow white dial, it’s a nice tribute to winter. I don’t mind that its snowflake on the hour hand is almist cartoonishly large in proprtion to the hand and isl, as compared to those of the Tudor. I like the Pagani’s compression of dial elements vs the Tudor. The cherry on top is the Pagani’s mecha quartz movement. It embodies the best of quartz and mechanical!. Got mine for $73 from Amazon. Thanks, Jodie for the heads up! A great review with a classy nusic bed.

[@richlavender8673]

If you fly Economy ✈️ and bring your own sandwiches 🥪 buy the Pagani!! By far the most important take from the video😂😂😂

[@chronocommander007]

The diver's extension is useful for those who retain a lot of water after indulging in alcohol! 🤪

[@haromaster6086]

That is probably my favorite watch the Tudor chronometer panda dial. I would grab the San Martin in a heartbeat because I really like their watches, love the fact that they have Seiko movements usually on the automatics, but I just can’t get around that off white dial. I wish it was white like the Tudor. I really like the San Martin bracelet. I’m happy that they did bring it over to this watch. I really like how it wears the finish and I really like the on the fly adjustment. I think it’s a top-notch bracelet on a watch of this price category.

[@richardmorris7063]

Just got the Tudor BB Panda,I love the watch. Is it perfect? No but is anything?

[@andrewd7586]

[@PhilbyFavourites]

You’re not alone sir, Sub, Batman, James B and lastly a Moonwatch. All great to wear, able to do boat work without worrying that I’m going to clonk the price of a 150hp outboard on my wrist. You can’t go wrong with a Pagani.

[@michaelweber1143]

Love this format of video. Seeing the original watch next to your favorite homage pick always ends up with me having less money in my account…

[@desireless4092]

When I got to my local AD looking for Pelagos, I saw the BB Chrono and it was in that coloration. There's no way I would choose the San Martin or Pagani instead of the Tudor. No way in hell. The watch in person is stunning and I really like the movement co shared with Breitling. This isn't me trying to be a snob, but don't just disregard the Tudor "because it's expensive". If I have to get a cheap chrono I would go the Seiko Flightmaster instead of the two homages any day. Anyone who claims the San Martin and the Pagani are better choices over the Tudor while disregarding the Seiko Flightmaster is on heavy dosages of copium.

[@watchalot919]

Aesthetically I prefer the SM, and think the brushed sides are much nicer.. Needless to say the Tudor has by far the best movement. The Pagani represents great value for money and has the best dimensions. Great review, and God save our late Queen RIP

[@G-rigger]

I think for all those complications (that most people would never use), a date would be the most useful thing. I realise most vintage watches don't include a date window but they are homages so should. Still have the Pagani Daytona which has ticked my cheap but expensive looking tachometer watch. The vk63 seems good too. those better quality Pagani riveted bracelets and clasps are great.

I could not believe the cost of the Pagani Design from the last sale. It took weeks to arrive, but my wife took it as soon as I opened it! She loves this watch.

[@tarasmathers7423]

I love that bloody diver's extension......😂. And correct me if I'm wrong, Jody, but I believe that Pagani may have "phoned-in" that case. I think they may have borrowed that case, from the PD-1692 line to cut costs, as it is the same dimensionally speaking, and changed the finishing, and added the holes for the chrono-pushers. To me at least, it appears to be a standard "oyster case." Also, pro-tip, U.G.S., stands for "Upgraded Grand Series". Although, I still don't know what the bloody he11, "PT Time" stands for😅.

At first glance my pick would be the San Martin with the ST19 movement. I know it's an old movement but for the price it can't be beat. My problem though, with the naked eye this is a beautiful movement and I want to see it. Without a display back it's a deal breaker for me.

13:23 Pagani is not for diving 13:58 Tudor is a dive watch My experience is that any 100 meter water resistant watch is perfectly fine for diving, at least down to 20 meters, I don't go any deeper. So I see this divers extension as a plus.

Actually I have the PD-1701 Version 2. It has the same diver’s extension. The extension is just spot welded to the clasp. It is very weak and would not take much to break it. Also Pagani Design says that the PD-1701 is 100m WR. I got some seepage when doing the dishes so I don’t quite believe them. Say what you want about Invicta, but they are pretty water tight.

The full name is "Upgrade Grand Series". PAGANI DESIGN watches under this collection will be even better. As for the dials of this new series, they contrast with the color of the sub-dials for very good legibility, many refer to them as panda dials. And retains the iconic snowflake pointer. Of course, it is different from the previous BB58, using a more wear-resistant ceramic bezel. The new BB chronographs are 39.5mm in diameter, but the case has been thinner. The new version now stands at around 13mm in height, which makes them more acceptable on the wrist - a fairly standard height for a chronograph . The top of the case is a highly domed sapphire crystal which gives it some retro feel, the lug-to-lug measurement is about 48mm which is impressive on paper, the ergonomics of this watch It feels amazing. It's balanced and rests flat on the wrist. By no means a compact watch." There you go 😂

I own all three of these. Bought the Tudor first then the Pagani second to use during times I don't want to risk damaging the Tudor. Yes I also feel the Tudor is a little too thick. I bought the San Martin simply because I was curious if it was really 3x better than the PD. It isn't. It's definitely nice but not that nice. In my opinion the box they come in is completely irrelevant. The watch matters, not the packaging.

Great video and nice to see all three together. Is it just me though, does the Tudor bracelet look mismatched? Looks like the finishing/colour is different? Looks a bit like it's come from a different watch?
