Usually I would prefer a fully brushed bracelet, but the white sand dune dial version calls for a bit more bling, and the polished centre links are just what is needed.

I like both of them, the aventurine dial is stunning. I hope San Martin have now learnt that it's better to do away with the polished center links. And I like the second watch too. I've seen this kind of mesh bracelet with removable sections on some Breitling watches. And they managed to combine the mesh with a clasp that still has quick adjustment without be as long as their other quick adjustment clasp.

I am wearing my SN0129 at the moment, since my Mrs is away travelling, it's nice to track her time zone. But my niggles are that it's exceedingly difficult to screw in the crown without advancing the GMT hand at the same time... which is clearly a fault with my unit. And the micro-adjust range in the clasp is shorter than the length of the bracelet links, and I am unlucky enough to have a wrist size that can't achieve a comfortable fit. But I didn't pay much for the watch, and returning to Ali Express is not a great option, so I'm just living with it.

San Martin just keeps making great looking watches. I would love for SM to make the hands a bit thicker for the 1st watch shown. I like the second watch showed it seems a bit more of an attemped to their own design. Love the bracelet too.

The V1 of the second watch did catch my eye a while back because of the orange bezel. Not so keen on the grey dial though, would like a white dial with black hands version if SM decided to do different colour versions. Bracelet does look really nice.

I had the V1 in my basket for long enough that it was unfortunately discontinued. For a while they could be found on Ebay, but those seem to be gone now. The handset was very different (maybe you'd call them sword hands, they were pointy) and the indices were round and gave more of a sense of elevation off the dial (at least in pictures) plus an engineer style bracelet that was a perfect match with the watch. I was surprised at the changes they made.

Just to be pedantic it's pronounced la-pis laz yuh·lie .😎 Lapis lazuli, also known simply as "lapis," is a blue metamorphic rock that has been used by people as a gemstone, sculpting material, pigment, and ornamental material for thousands of years. High quality lapis lazuli can be a costly gem.

Hi from Turkey I am following AliExpress watches for a while and watch your videos about them. I have also bought two of them. But I wonder your opinion about the durability of those quality chinese brands. Are these watches as durable as seiko, citizen or orient? İnitial impressions are very good because of price performance rates, I know. But I wonder whether we will be using these nice watches with great specifications 20 years later or not? How long will they last?

I really like both of these, but I think the colour combo's offered for the 0085 are less than great, and I'm not wild about the dial either. I'd like to see a matte black ceramic dial insert, or a blasted stainless one, on a matte or polished black dial. Everything else is great though. I wouldn't argue if it were one millimeter smaller, but wouldn't want it if it were one millimeter bigger.
