San Martin, if you’re listening, I’d pay a little extra to have a Miyota 9000 series movement. 👍🏻

[@pjmq]

We really need to stop giving "homage" (read; slightly tweaked rep) designs oxygen. San Martin is just starting to break ground with their original designs, don't start giving them the idea that people really want rebadged replicas again because you can be sure as shit they'll follow the money all the way back to their old ways.

[@clintonmccool2330]

At that price, the NH35 should be upgraded to maybe a Miyota 9000 series. With the NH35, I think that price is a bit high.

[@arghjayem]

I love how everyone seems to be comparing this San Martin to the Rolex Sub…..when clearly it’s the Sea Dweller it’s inspired by. 40mm case, date but no bubble? That’s clearly inspired by the Sea Dweller 4000. And the blue fade dial? Clearly taking a cue from the Rolex Sea Dweller Deepsea! 🤔🤷😂

[@palemale2501]

Swiss watches ? RIP

[@tigerWarrior490]

No date would've been nice.

[@jb678901]

I used to wear my Sub daily, after buying it new back in 1998 (16613, "Sultan"). The last maintenance/cleaning set me back ~$1100. I still wear it, occassionally. My favorite daily driver: Seestern S435. This is purportedly a homage to the Glashutte SeaQ, which is a homage to the GUB diver from the early 1970's, which was a nock-off of the French vintage diver "Le Forban Securite Mer". In any event...the fit/finish, high beat Seagull movement (ST2130), double domed sapphire crystal, nicely lumed ceramic bezel, sunburst blue dial, nicely lumed / applied indices, screw down signed crown, SS316L case/bracelet, machined micro adj bracelet. For under $200...and incredible value imho. I really like my S435.

[@alexsdg3441]

I just love San Martin fit&finish. There is no doubt that they are the leader in Aliexpress Chinese watch brand. However, honestly speaking, I do not like the applied silver logo plate. Somehow, it does make the watch look cheap and just does not work aesthetically on the dial. I just hope that they can use their previous "stylized" letter logo (which they use for some models) or come up with a new logo which will blend in more with their watch's aesthetics. Thanks for the review.

[@williamsipe1151]

13.5 mm thick is a deal breaker.

[@Menruleall]

I wish Rolex made a watch that was actually attractive, or, at the very least, interesting.

[@chrisforbes6326]

I have this watch with the sword hands. I was originally going to buy it without the date but San Martin emailed me about the introduction of the date version and I ordered it. As you say in your review no one will mistake its inspiration but sword hands and no cyclops give it an individuality which I love. I think it is a stunning example of San Martin’s quality - I can’t fault it. Thank you for your excellent reviews - keep up the good work!

[@LymanPhillips]

I think SM knocked this one out of the park. Perfect dimensions, typically outstanding finishing and the featureset that almost everyone has been asking for. This is what happens when a watch company listens to its customers. I'm not in the market for a subbie homage, but if I were, this would be the obvious choice. Especially at a $211 price.

[@thegorn]

Be good with a flat crystal and PT5000 to get the height to around 12.5mm. I really want a 4Hz movement in their premium offerings.

[@sinjinadams2862]

They offered the PT5000 and SW200 on the Titanium version. I wish they would do that here.

[@leehall8830]

Great review. Managed to order a TI version which is now out of stock in most placed and according to SM now discontinued

[@patrickhartmann1540]

Owned a prior version and ended up giving it to a friend. It was excellent in all regards. I just didn’t like how the maxi case looked on wrist. This versions is a nice improvement.

[@micaljimenez7381]

I like san martin but sincerly thenacuracy with seiko basic mouvment is not the same,but for the price who care

[@mattstolzman]

I was talking with San Martin and they said it was BGW9 and not BGWX1

[@bobnewby9129]

If only they had a PT5000/ETA 2824 option. I have an authentic ETA 2824-2 I'm looking to drop into a really nice case. This would have been it.

[@haromaster6086]

Love the date window.
