San Martin Official Store on Aliexpress: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EyaeWnR Try the following discount codes: $2 OFF For orders over $20 Code: IFPP7Z6 $5 OFF For orders over $50 Code: IFPYEU9 $25 OFF For orders over $200 Code: IFPX6RZ $50 OFF For orders over $400 Code: IFPWL3D 10/01/2024 00:00 PT ~ 12/31/2024 00:00 PT I've been a San Martin fan for a very long time and I've always had a few in my collection. However, this one might be my favourite or at least until my SN0144 arrives :))

This isn't the SN017, it is the SN017-B which is the cheaper line with push pins and a different bracelet and clasp, they still sell the SN017 and it is more expensive. Both are great but they are different.

*** The correct dimensions are the ones I say out loud (D40mm, L2L48mm, Thickness 13mm, weight 144g). The mistake came from the fact that I copy/pasted the template from another video and I must've forgotten to edit it. Sorry 🙏🏻

I know it sounds crazy but I totally agree about the bezel action. I also have a planet ocean and the 300m san Martin and hands down the san Martin is a far superior action 🤯

One has to try it to believe it 🙈🔥

I absolutely love San Martin and own many of their watches but in my opinion Cronos makes the best Submariner homage.

I guess I'll have to get one then 🫡☺️

I have the SN-019-G black dial/black bezel . I alternate between this watch and my Christopher Ward C65 Trident retro diver (Pepsi ) GMT. I am trying to decide if I’m going to get the BB58 NH34 GMT or the SN-015 GMT with the new jubilee bracelet .

Awesome video my friend..! I’m about to pull the trigger but I’m a little confused in some videos the green looks lighter some darker also looks like it has a sunburst dial and some not so much for example I like the look of your watch as it does not look like it is sunburst and this is more my taste

@TheBoldHairspring 2 ай бұрын

Thank you 😊. It does have sunburst but it doesn't show much unless it's under direct sunlight. I could send you more pictures in Instagram if you want 😊

This is a wonderful watch, I am a bit peeved at San Martin. I had chatted with someone there about collaborating on a film project, and they had agreed and then just ghosted me. I've not worn my San Martin watch since.

Value is amazing on this watch - pin and collar is a pain in the butt though!

@TheBoldHairspring 2 ай бұрын

Yean, it can be tricky, but once you're done, those pins and collars are super secure.

You mean the SN019 is a real sub homage... I mean that SN017 has such a big bezel it's nowhere near a Rol. And the SN019 has ball bearing vs ratchet on SN017, same as the sub. Otherwise, I prefer Sugess or Cronos for cheaper and Glide Lock clasp.

Steeldive SD1953 is the best homage imo.

@TheBoldHairspring 2 ай бұрын

The Steeldive SD1953 is a great cheaper alternative for sure.

@ArtoftheDial 2 ай бұрын

I have multiple of both the Steeldive SD1953 and multiple San Martin SN017 and SN017-B. The Steeldive is not on the same level as the San Martin. The only advantage to the SD is the fully lumed bezel (and a different shade of green).

@@ArtoftheDialI understand. I just think San Martin is pricing themselves out of my wheelhouse. I like the inexpensive, good quality offerings of Alix. If San Martin wants to be a true microbrand, they need to do some original designs (new colorways DO NOT COUNT) to justify their increasing prices.

@ArtoftheDial 2 ай бұрын

@@tonydilucente2342 If you have followed them for a few years, the prices have actually come down dramatically. The fact you can grab the SN007B, SN008C, or SN054E for around $130 when on sale is crazy. These types of models were in the $200-300 range before they started using NH35 movements. They absolutely have more original designs, but they also cost more of a premium because it takes development costs and they have to buy in far lower qty than say a Sub which will sell like hotcakes. Steeldive used to be in the $100+ range but the economy is so bad, prices dropped. San Martin in the below $150 range is cheap. Only reason I got a collection of Steeldives is I was getting them for $55-70 range. Once you go above that San Martin shows the value. Steeldive bracelets are not anywhere as good as San Martin.
