Well, you are NEVER short of new San Martins to choose from and here aare ten of the best. Their GMTs are just awesome, the 'Baltany' is super cheap, and the Tudoralike on the jubileealike looks great for the money. Cheers, Jody

The second watch is not really a "cross between a mid-century dirty dozen style field watch and a type A flieger." It is a 100% exact homage to the IWC Mark XI pilot's watch produced from 1948 to the 1970s for the Royal Air Force. The clipped hour hand was introduced in 1952. JLC also produced a few Mark XI for the same contract, but the San Martin is exactly like the IWC.

[@Bonpu]

"100% exact homage" - minus the stupid pocket watch crown.

[@DrChrisCopeland]

Hey Jody! I've only recently (last 6 months or so) become interested in watches and watchmaking. Your channel and videos like this really provide the information I'm looking for and the detail to understand terminology and the field. I appreciate that quite a lot. I've fallen in love with several San Martin's (like the SN030-Q) and videos like this really provide great insight and I always look forward to them. Your video on making your own watch inspired me to do just that too; the last part is arriving today for my father in law. Again, thank you!

[@zwerko]

Already have that 'wave' / 'desert' GMT in my cart... It looks phenomenal for the price.

[@joehenderson1]

I love San Martin! Thanks for the recommendations!

[@scottlauren3145]

You sure know how to release the best videos at the BEST time. I'll be getting a few of these, no question.

[@nickwilkinson75]

I bought the SN066-G a couple of months back. It's my first SM and I absolutely love it. The quality of the materials and build feel exceptional for the price. The strap probably isn't 100pc right for the watch, but this is still my favourite watch of my collection.

[@lukewalker1051]

Astounding how San Martin can offer so many quality watch models at a veritable pittance. Their ability to sustain themselves and grow at such a low profit margin and apparently sufficient sales volume to offset their investment costs aka their business model is something to marvel at. Great review as always Jody. Thank you.

[@birdwatcher1337]

I got my first San Martin about a month ago. I got the 36mm Ranger and I LOVE IT. The quality is insane. I wouldn't change a single thing except the lug width but even then it's not that big of a deal. Haven't taken it off my wrist since it got here. 10/10.

[@a1axel738]

What’s the ref number?

[@michaelweber1143]

Been keeping an eye on that SN0129 white dune dial for a while. What a gorgeous watch

[@jacc88888]

Wow! The first GMT watch looks amazing. All in all the finishing on most of their watches is phenomenal for the price.

[@dunderhay9169]

They do make a great range of watches, I'm glad number 11 was there , the sn0116 watches are fantastic, I still think I prefer my blue dial version, but the matching straps are a great idea 👍

[@borbetomagus]

The San Martin chronograph (SN0120W) is 37mm, while the Baltany field chronograph (S5033) is 39mm. There is also a Militado (ML1868) version, which has three sub-dials, a date window and 39mm case. In any case, look for reviews for each and see if it has better quality features you prefer (given the price). I think someone did compare some of these, but I'm not certain what the differences were.

[@wtechdude]

All three uses the same 20 mm size nylon straps. The San Martin's dial is more dark grey than Baltany's black. And I think per watch review from another site, the lume is better on the Baltany vis-a-vis the Militado.

[@walkaroundwatches]

That Tudor lookalike is immense 😮

[@fossilimprint2954]

Appreciate this list of San Martins.

[@GinkgoJoe]

Stellar show. Love that Marathon Navigator look-alike: especially when their new metal one is clocking in at 1,000 bucks!

[@TimothyW8]

Hi Jody, just a heads up 10:25 shows B Roll from a different watch than the Sub. Have a great day sir!

[@samwang5831]

The Avocado GMT looks amazing

[@Plexcom60]

That's a very nice collection of cute little watches. Thanks.

[@AudioFlat]

It’s amazing how many micro brands get their watches from San Martin - isn’t it 😉…. Personally, I only own one and it’s their homage to the Tudor Pro, but it is outstanding value.

[@callumwilliams2730]

Its hardly a homage, its a direct copy of worse quality, might as well have Tudor plastered on the dial, its a complete fake

[@rickhammel9541]

@@callumwilliams2730 I'm guessing you've never had a San Martin

[@antimatt_r]

Just received a black SN0036 V1 yesterday and I'm super impressed with the materials and finishing. It's my first San Martin but probably not my last. I opted for the Miyota 8315 for the slight upgrades over the 8215. V2 looks even better. The upgrades are great and I think the switch to the NH35 was a good move, even if I'm getting a bit sick of that movement. Only reason I picked the V1 was because I'm a boring guy that likes boring black dials 😂

[@PatrickEVRAable]

I bought the blue dial v1 earlier in the year. Agree incredible finishing for the money, I had the 8215 though and the rotor noise drove me nuts! I wish they offered the PT500 in more of the watches, as I'm the same getting a little sick of the nh35.

[@Kotari22]

gonna pick up a san martin bb58 SN-004 limited edition with a matte bezel this 11.11 Ali Sale for sure!

[@captbumbler5356]

Hi Jody great list I really like the SN007-G-45 Pateklike wish it was in a smaller size, I will keep my fingers crossed the do it smaller in the future.

[@reaganabraham1528]

Thank you for making this video! It introduced me to a few models that I wasn't aware of. But I was surprised to see that the SN0136 wasn't mentioned here. I would love to hear your thoughts on that model.

[@Sid-ney]

4:51 Hey Jody, worth noting that the new Black Bay Master Chronometer released this year does come on a 5 link bracelet (don’t call it a jubilee! 🙄😂) option and that is definitely the model this one is inspired by! 👍🏻 Be good to see the option spread through the rest of their dive watches in due course.

[@younusimam-thesalamproject6340]

Those GMTs are a delight. I just wish the sand one had a rotating ceramic bezel. I'd buy it right away. I wish more SMs had a date option! So many that I'm so close to buying but then they don't have a date.

[@MrShinobi797]

That GMT Avacado is is STUNNER. San Martin needs to make more of those...they WILL sell!

[@metatechnologist]

You're right on the green one. It's a stunner.

[@RedwoodAggie]

That first San Martin GMT is quite nice looking and a good price. FYI, Tudor does off the Jubilee (excuse me err 5-link) on their new Black Bay 41mm diver released this year. It's the same red & gilt as the San Martin.

[@IcarusSuite]

That bronze titanium model looks freaking fantastic.

[@Yoshikaable]

I love these! Wow

[@mr.eswatchreviews]

The Tudor that the sn0128 is clomaging does come with a jubilee bracelet and t fit clasp the 128 now also has a green bezel version too

[@stephenhouse7451]

Great recommendations and coverage as always Jody. Though I recently picked up this bronze case SM and think it is a steal (or should I say bronze). Wondering what you might think of it.

[@adk7962]

Can’t go wrong with a SM. I think they are still top dog. Although they might be feeling the heat since they are releasing some of their popular watches with slightly lower specs for less money. Great list as always.

[@fmroig]

I wanted a San Martin watch so I bought the sn085 with black enameled dial and red bezel... Such an amazing watch and got it from last year's sale for about 115 USD... You can't get any better for the price.

[@cseivard]

Thanks for the news. ( another awesome T- shirt!)

[@DaveSP196]

The first watch is an absolute show-stopper for me. That's on the list.

[@kiwicory100]

I had the San Martin Water Ghost, green dial, sent it back as the dial colour was lame. To San Martins credit, they took it back. I am a little gun shy on San Martin, presentation wise as a consequence. Thanks for the video.

[@ricardochaveste7367]

That's a lot's of great sales. Unfortunately, I already have so many San Martin's in my collection,I just received the 36mm Ranger love it..San Martin has so many great pieces..10 awesome watches ⌚️ the last Avocado 🥑 piece love it...

[@emirx1126]

Would love these kinds of videos with some other brands like pagani design and addiesdive.

[@melonmate4482]

Hey Jody, amazing vid as always, I was curious if you could pick up a Baltany 1921 for review some time soon, it seems to be a new watch, inspired by the Vacheron Constantin 1921, hearing your opinion on it would be appreciated. Cheers!

[@joshk265]

Titanium case and bronze bezel…….. Sinn T50 GBDR. it’s beautiful! I’ve seen a review from an Aussie dealer, so I’m sure someone with your connections could find one locally.

Yeah, get yourself a Casio Royale watch and have all the time zones you could ever want.

[@birdytiger]

I really love the bronze and ti one. It's super sterile in an industrial way I love, but could also make it not get reached for

[@DavekayBSC]

So many GMTs, and yet you missed the Pelagos GMT! That was such a clever idea, and one that no one else of the half a dozen or so Pelagos clones offers. I'm also a big fan of the sunburst brown dial 39mm SN020, which is sort of a "what if Rolex 1016 Explorer, but applied markers?"

[@sinjinadams2862]

My pick is one you didn't review, the SN0111T. A grade 5 Titanium homage to the older smaller sized Rolex Sea Dweller. It's a bit on the pricey side but a beautiful watch.

[@jonasnaeyaert3738]

Tudor is actually offering jubilee-style bracelets on their gilt BB’s with red bezels sinds their latest updates and new offerings.

[@Yoshikaable]

I really liked the first one and the 036

[@badatpc]

I LOVE the limited edition green color way, but it’s a bit too large for my wrist. So I ordered the 38mm SN004 V2 Watchdives collab in blue

You're wrong about this, Jody. Tudor does offer a Jubilee style bracelet on the red bezel Black Bay unveiled on this year's Watches & Wonders

[@LukeMcf]

The second watch reminds me of an IWC Mark 11

[@blacktoothstavros2606]

If i had the spare dollary doos I'd be buying another Erebus in a different colourway - probably the yellow. The first GMT with the sand dune dial is pretty special looking.

[@bbwt9991]

Nice one Jody!

Jody! Great vid. My basket is full! Just FYI you have the wrong watch in the clip @ 10:25. Oh the shame! 😅👍🏻 PS- I thought Erebus made the best dive watches under $300?? ☺️

[@YukonAvie]

The Avocado GMT is not as limited as we were led to believe. Myself and at least 100 other people have # one of 100 lol. 🤣🤣

[@Capthowdy098]

I wonder if a 39mm can be pulled off on an 8+in wrist 🤔

[@mema4922]

That is incorrect- the newest Tudor BB with the red bezel has the option for the jubilee style bracelet

[@AdAce21]

Good lord that SN0129-G is incredible. Unfortunately, it looks too much like a watch I already have (the Zelos Ti Swordfish with the brushed titanium dial), otherwise I'd be ALL over this...... must resist!!! Quick edit: does the SN0066 have a diver's extension? I'm considering it as a complimentary dive watch to my dive computer

[@hennychestnut5479]

Mark, i know you got some connect with san Martin. We need the no logo or custom dial back. Their logo aint gonna cut it.

[@Pronnmo]

[@zyabber]

SN0125 is a Sinnaker Hull lookalike, but it may be a homage to something else too.

[@SW-rn6fe]

Baltany makes a bronze and titanium watch similar to the "Panerai" San Martin. So, two watches that are very similar from two different brands 🤔.

[@turbyoulance]

The last San Martin GMT should be called the AVACADO cos it looks like an avocado in a good way.

[@hattyfarbuckle]

If I was SM i would definately go down the Grand Seiko hand painted/ screen paper dials where the biggest affect on price is labour cost/skilled artisan numbers .... which is potentially China's biggest advantage.A $500-$750 GS style dial and hands?

[@brianmsahin]

Thank you Jody! A very nice bunch of watches. And the sale seems to be offering some ok deals. By the way Jody, when are you going to announce the 3rd winner of your 3 watch giveaway?! It feels like weeks and weeks since you announced the second winner.. 😮😉 Or...did I miss something?

[@ninozebec5740]

its amazing how prices vary in certain parts of the world. Listed prices that Jody mentioned are 1/3 to 1/2 higher in EU. It sux to be us

[@bencebatfai6116]

Its because the US prices dont include VAT. 😊

[@czguy3045]

Ridiculous value across the board but that 0120 Baltany-alike is one of my favorite watches. I mostly live in the $250 to $500 range and have a couple Omegas and two Squales but I just love that San Martin 0120 in particular. Mine was $95 shipped and if not for the white dial version Casio's EFV-100D, the 0120 would be my cheapest watch that I consider a keeper.
