Sangin Instruments Professional - The Field Operator's Watch

[@ewok133]

Got the same professional, and atlas. Planning on getting the hydra, too. Love the lume on the pro, as an infantryman myself, I find it more useful than a backlight. It lasts long enough for any activity you do at night, so no need to “charge” the lume, which is very good for light discipline.

[@threehandhunter]

Awesome comments about the lume. Sounds like a GSAR once eyes adjusted during night ops! And how about that Hydra?? What an amazing looking watch. I will eventually get one myself

[@theepicridecom]

I was gifted an Atlas by my brother last year and immediately fell in love with the piece. Yesterday I was given the opportunity to pick up a used Professional, black dial, and JUMPED on it. Definitely loving this piece as well. Semper Fi.

[@threehandhunter]

I LOVE my Atlas! Semper Fi, brother!

[@spencergilbert]

I've had them all... Given away 11 to colleagues. Love them.

[@threehandhunter]

So, I would like to be your friend too. haha...that is awesome of you.

Thanks for the great review, used it to set my Professional. Love this watch!!

[@threehandhunter]

Awesome! What a great duty watch!

[@tcwhite0104]

Really like that, waiting to get the Dark Professional once in drops..I have a couple of the Anthrocite Marathons. As a Navy Veteran I salute the creator.

[@threehandhunter]

I salute you back, sir! Best, Blake!

[@anthony_sasquatch8056]

I have a dark pro if you have trade?

[@07BlackSpecV]

My professional is my first and only Sangin so far, there will be a Neptune in the future. I feel like I'm one of the only people that got it with a diver bezel, that 1 hour timing function is more useable to me on the day to day and I've got my GMT on the inner chapter.

[@threehandhunter]

That makes sense and I am in the market for a Neptune too!!

[@krysis8115]

@@threehandhunterjust sold my Neptune. They hold value very well.

[@nolanbrinco9117]

I own 2 Sangin watches, I have a professional in the dlc variant with the divers bezel and a kinetic2 GMT expedition. Love both of them, they are my favourite timepieces in my collection.

[@threehandhunter]

Wonderful brand!!

[@Legionnaire.darcfour]

Thank you for your videos. I just bought my first Sangin Professional.

[@threehandhunter]

My pleasure! And great choice! Love Sangin. What a great company 👍congratulations

Great video, and enjoy the additional brands you're reviewing. Cheers

[@threehandhunter]

Thank you for the kind words, Craig. I’m glad you are enjoying and I really appreciate you

I’ve been interested in these but I’ve been using my Tudor black bay as my everyday tac watch

[@threehandhunter]

Well, that is a solid choice for EDC imo!!!

[@theamericanbadger6008]

Hey man, I love your reviews about the Sangin watches, I just got a Professional as it’s my first one from Jake. It’s a great watch, I will say, I hope I can see a review in the future of the British microband “Stirling” I got their Durrant Black and it’s a very nice automatic diving watch. You might like them, they come in small quantities though so you gotta sign up on the list.

[@threehandhunter]

Thank you for the nice comments! I am a huge Sangin fan, and I am now signed up on the Stirling list, thank you! If you like British brands, you should watch some of my Precista videos too. I own a few! I am a fan of Eddie Platts for sure. Love British watchmaking

[@theamericanbadger6008]

@@threehandhunter ah, okay I’ll check them out. Thanks for the recommendation. Can’t wait to see what you think of the Stirlings. 👌🏻

[@BrianPorter2Bs3Cs]

I was perfectly content with my Sangin Overlord... but dammit, reviews like this make me really want a Professional.

[@threehandhunter]

Thanks, Brian! 😀

[@bwheeler03]

Have a dark Merlin and Dark Overlord. Waiting for a release of the pro to add to the collection.

[@threehandhunter]

Very nice collection you have there! 👍👍

[@Yuri_official_dad]

Have a WRMFZY, the new K2 update that was just released, and a custom Hydra. Previously had a TAD Dark, Overlord, Atlas and Yellow K2. Good stuff.

[@threehandhunter]

Wow, that’s awesome. I love the Hydra

[@walkaroundwatches]

My OCD is so bad the second hand missing its mark every second would make me crazy!

[@threehandhunter]

I’m with you!!

[@JamesNatal-si3oc]

Is this an issue with Sangin watches? Or just this particular Professional? I've seen one on eBay and from the photos it looks like the second hand is also off.

[@Mr159874631]

How did you get the drilled lugs out to change the strap? Just got mine and I would like to do that but I’ve seen multiple ways online. Some say the drilled lugs can be screwed out others say you need a pin to push them out. Any advice? Thanks

[@threehandhunter]

It’s not my watch, but yours didn’t have drilled lug holes?

[@jimenezcamila4543]

Could you please do a tutorial on how to change date/time. Ordered it, new to watches, I know nothing.

[@threehandhunter]

You know...yes. give me one week after Christmas and check back to this channel.

How does it wear? I have smaller wrists so not sure if it will be too big?

[@threehandhunter]

I think it wears like a 41mm. How does that fit on your wrist?

I've pre-ordered the US Border Patrol Centennial Professional. I can't wait until it ships!

Is it sapphire quarts ?? So the glass doesn’t get scratched easily ???

Does have sapphire crystal. Yes.

[@tombrown5508]

Can you put a bracelet on it?

I never tried.

Great watch, Ronda 515 GMT are great best to set the GMT hand on the hour it doesnt have a precise jump for each hour.

[@threehandhunter]

Yeah, I noticed that when I was using it. Great point 👍

[@erikknudsen2971]

Meh. Really nothing overly unique here, but it is a decent looking watch. Basically, it's an omega dial with ploprof style hands.The website does not list the prices, which is a bit annoying. You watch a video like this, maybe get interested in purchasing, but no pricing info? Price is key because at 3 or $400, I think there is good value here, but if the price is near $1000, one can likely find a comparable watch at a much lower price.

[@yancyfry4451]

The watch is around $700, it's a really good watch that operators and pilots wear. I just picked one up that I'm taking on my deployment.

[@erikknudsen2971]

@@yancyfry4451 Thanks for digging up the price. At $700, one can definitely find comparable watches with specs as good, or better, in my opinion. There is ton of competition at this price point. Again, I do think this is a decent looking watch with some good functionality, but too expensive in my opinion.

[@threehandhunter]

I think for a lot of people it’s supporting who’s behind it too. For example, I’d buy local over amazon any day of the week given an opportunity. Even if I have to pay a little more.

[@krysis8115]

@@erikknudsen2971on’t really need to fit for the price. A simple google search shows what price the watch sold for from the sangin or TAD website.

[@unionmoon]

How nice, another micro brand with unavailable (as in sold out) watches. Total RLX vibe, nice, but you can't have them.....

[@threehandhunter]

Jacob and his family run the business. And you notice he doesn’t do “kickstarter” or any of that silliness? That means he comes out of pocket for all his inventory. You have to hand it to this man from being a Marine Corps Raider less than 10yrs ago (had some typos I corrected)
