Which San Martin Explorer to get on AliExpress March 2022 sales? SN021A-2 vs SN021B-1 vs SN021B-2

[@stevenmccarthy112]

Tudor dial in black is my choice too. Love the size and LUME.

[@NMwatch]

Great choice brother. #lumejunkies heaven that one really is. Thanks for watching 😎

[@daynevickers1079]

Great comparison... I just ordered the (even newer) "B-3" version of the SN0021, which has gold indices and the snowflake hands. I had previously ordered the black dialed B2 version (your stated preference), then the next day saw the B3 with the gilted dial and hands, and I fell in love (and cancelled my prior order). It was as if San Martin read my mind!

[@NMwatch]

Actually I have talked about the gilt dial version coming soon in 1 of my videos. I just can't remember which one. I too, have pulled the trigger on the gilt dial version, before realising that they've actually revised the case again, making it smaller between the lugs at 19mm. Which is totally not cool at all😕. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎

[@daynevickers1079]

@@NMwatch I didn't realize they made the lugs 19mm, bit that's not a deal killer for me, as I'll probably never want to put a strap on it, but thanks for the heads up!

[@NMwatch]

If you understand my channel concept, you'll probably realise that I always do 1. Initial review (1st few days) 2. Full review (after wearing it for a longer period of time) 3. Strap fashion show videos The 19mm lug width makes it difficult for me to do no.3😅. But San Martin makes great bracelet. So I might not take it off the bracelet as well. But it's nice to have a few options in the future.

thanks for the affiliated links. Bought the black 021B1.

[@NMwatch]

Don't forget to ask them to change the clasp bro. Nak beli, mahal gak tu.

[@davidcoleman2796]

Very good video, thanks . I think I will go with the new one with the Tudor dial . In Black . I do have a vintage diver and like it .

[@NMwatch]

Hello there David. Glad that you like the video. Appreciated if you could use the links in my video description to help support the channel. Thanks for watching 😎

[@kws4e]

I just wish the snowflake one had a glossy dial, but I think I will still buy one non the less.

[@NMwatch]

I don't think I've ever seen a glossy dial from San Martin before. Btw, they are producing a gilt dial for this. We'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for watching 😎

[@kws4e]

@@NMwatch They do, on their two Sub hommages for example.

[@NMwatch]

Ah the black dial. Now I remember.

I bought a San Martin watch sn-021 recently and the experience has been rather poor. Just wanna share the story so people know what to expect from San martin in this situation. The watch is finished pretty nice for the price. The lines are crisp and sharp. But the pt5000 movement was broken out of the box, would not hack, stop running randomly (3 times in less than 1 min), and the minute and second hands have bright white lume and the rest have patina lume. Their customer service rep was frustrating to talk to, implied that I didn't know how to operate the watch at first and made me jump through hoops to prove the watch was broken. Even then they only agreed to send a replacement movement. Meaning i'd have to pay to get it fixed locally. (costs 100 canadian dollar at watch repair shops) I wasn't happy with the offer so I started dispute, and after sending even more videos to prove the watch is broken, they agreed to let me ship back for warranty repair. I liked the watch still and was ok with that. But I told them that they need to fix the hands too because the mismatch really ruins the dial. They told me there's nothing they can do and all their watches are like that. (What the fuck?????) I ordered dial customization they told me there's no return. I intended to keep and reviews were good. So i didn't think much of it. But when you ship me a broken watch with a dial that looks different from your product pics, that changes things. Since they refused to fix the hands I wanted a refund. I even told them that they can keep the 60 dollars I paid for dial customization to be fair. They agreed to refund me after days of arguing and now they chanegd their mind again and only want to refund me half. Still disputing this but I want to share the story so you know what to expect from san martin when shit goes wrong. Edit: they agreed to full refund in the end

[@NMwatch]

Sad to hear that bro. You got yours from the San Martin Official Store?

[@jameshuang3898]

@@NMwatch yes, but in the end they agreed to full refund

[@NMwatch]

Good to hear that you'll get the full refund. But the hassle to get it is not really a good experience. I'm not in contact with the Official Store but the San Martin store. So maybe switching to smaller store might be a good idea?

[@jordanweiler7410]

Whats your opinion on these bracelets with the polish sides? Are good bracelets and better than the brushed SN017 bracelet?

[@NMwatch]

Hey man. I prefer this bracelet compared to the SN017. Both quality are good, but I prefer bracelet that matches the side case finishing. Thanks for watching 😎

[@watchalot919]

The blue is iconically listed with the Rolex, the vblck a bit boring, so I would go with the green

[@NMwatch]

Hey man. I have a review for the green watch SN021A-2 before. Please check out that video as well and thanks for watching 😎

[@toobalkain]

what Seiko is that at 0:02, blue dial, blue NATO strap, it's gorgeous, I don't think I've seen it before.

[@NMwatch]

Hey man. It's a long discontinued Seiko SARG015. And how I wish I didn't sold it 😅

SN021B-2 pops way more to me. But I have 8 1/2 inch wrist...
