Did I buy a Rolex, Omega or Tudor? Watchfinder Reveal AND Unboxing!
Is San Martin still even alive as a brand?...
@@ClockworkApe they’re smashing it with original designs right now
Looks like a custom order of san martins, except for the case back. San martin case back has a case bulge and the back itself while this looks like a flat case and the case plate only. Which, a slim case back will being down the thickness a touch. The price is higher than sm, at least, when including coupons and promos. If the dial is the flat black-grey, thats a bummer. A pure black or piano black would be the ticket. Def gonna keep an eye on this one. 8/10.
It’s always good (for me) to discover a new brand. I’m a San Martin fan, in about a year and a half I bought 8 of them (somebody please stop me!) but I liked this Taranis, I might consider getting one. Thanks for the review.
Panzera!
Looks solid. San Martin GMT mixed with a CW Sealander GMT colorway, oyster bracelet and a feel good story.
Agreed! It’s got a lot going for it at a great price price point
Holy crap SM has "killers" now? 😂
Everything is food for something I suppose 😆
This is a £150 watch if it's on Alix , you're paying for it being a "western" brand.
What microbrand would you like to see reviewed this year? Let me know in the comments below!
Panzera
Agree about case backs. How long do you look at it when you put the watch on or take it off? Can you see the case back when you are wearing the watch or when it is in your Watchbox?
Translucent skin! 🤣But seriously I’m glad someone agrees with me, sometimes I feel like the only one!
Yes. You can do a lot better with that much money.
Love This Watch 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Small watches are for women 40 mm 41 up to 44 mm. There's a men's watches. Leave the 36 mm and up for the ladies😊
Too expensive
Decent looking but we are really moving down food chain with a san martin killer lol.
@@gregtolley3455 coming up next a pagani killer 😅😎
It’s a nice watch and I like it very much, but, is too expensive. They know they’ve overpriced it. That’s why they’ve included the excessive packaging, extra straps, tool etc. to try and justify the elevated price. The lack of concentric rings on the subdial is also disappointing. Nice watch though - I’d be interested in picking one up preowned.
Luxury is just a word if the watch makes you happy when you look at it then your winning 🏆
@@kickstothehead3705 even the most cost effective watch can make you feel like a millionaire!
@@AwkwardHorology indeed
best watch ever
dont buy from watchfinder...
The first tip says it all! Hobby has to make you happy, not broke and angry
Too right!! 😎
It’s great to be back! What are you favourite tips of the trade you’d give to first time watch collectors?
Trop grosse … bracelet des années 90 … etc… etc… comparer ça à une sub ça n’a rien à voir et j’ai 2 SM Et 3 sub
8:06 Clanger works!
Only thing I don’t like is that I would have pick a different color palette as the dial color changes
I can't stand a fake fixed dive bezel
Great watch
Lots of bad reviews for this company. I wouldn't use them.
You lost me when you mentioned the price !
Love MAMACOO watch, Such a great looking watch to match with the precisionist movement.
I picked one up to see if I liked the size and feel of a dive watch. I loved it, and the Cronos L6024 v2 is a beautiful watch. I did buy the Tudor and then sold the Cronos on eBay, but having had both watches side by side I have to say that the dial and indexes and hands were practically identical, even under magnification. The bracket and the clasp are better on the Tudor, of course - but the Cronos was certainly fine
Beautiful watch, however for that price it should include a metal bracelet, COSC certified Movement and stronger magnetism at a minimum. Apart from the heritage and dirty dozen look I don't understand why someone wouldn't go for a Tudor or Longines instead.
@@christianbedoya7880 that’s my one sticking point with this watch too. Is it gorgeous? Yes! Is it f*cking cool?Yes! Is it over priced… well for me… yes unfortunately but it is a cracker
Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for MAMACOO watch makers
Well done really enjoyed watching ,🙂 A T all day .
@@terry-rn1ut thanks man! The AT really is a stunner 😍
What was your favourite pick up for 2024? For me it has to be either the gorgeous Omega Aqua Terra or the tool-tastic Tudor Submariner 7016!!
I remember the Omega Aqua Terra day date! It’s an amazing watch. Also big love for the Sinn and Rolex (and the subby of course!) Merry Christmas 🎉 🎄 🤶 🎅🏻
Thanks mate! Merry Christmas 🎄
Definitely the most interesting & informative channel in UA-cam,and I am your fan! I’ve been watching MAMACOO and buying them recently to complement my watch collection. Good video
What is the black strap you have on it in the video?
People always say that the 24 hours of Dollar isn't useful. I find it useful when setting the date. It helps me stay out of the danger zone
Where did you get the mesh bracelet? Great video. Thanks for sharing.
@@lesgoff I ended up getting two mesh bracelets one from Amazon and another from WatchGecko. Both are good, but the quality of watch gecko was much better in my opinion!
Nice work Heron 🇨🇦
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the MAMACOO, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the AMZWATCH's watches are the most intriguing.
That was boring.
@@stevenmccarthy112 sometimes we all need a bit of dull stuff! But I’ve noted what you’ve said it I’ll make sure it’s extra fun just for you next time 😎
I'm disinclined to give the ring kisser any of my cash. Am I alone?
NO
What’s your favourite Black Friday watch find so far! Let us know in the comments below. Happy hunting everyone!
Some good picks here! The Timex is pretty fun 😎
I think so too! Thanks mate!
Wow! This watch is epic! Love the submariner and the Tudor Subby is such a good choice. Classic looks buddy ❤
I just got into watch collecting. I've loved watches since I was young but I never had anyone teach me or bring deeper into the world. MAMACOO brought closer to a community and hobby I always wanted to get into more and that is incredibly meaningful to me !
As a watch enthusiast with NO budget, thank you AMZWATCH for great-looking mechanical watches that I can afford! their are very clean, classy look, $150 each. I still watch videos about expensive “proper” watches, but I enjoy what I have
What’s your favourite submariner? Is it vintage, modern (ewwww not for me!), or neo vintage??? I love this Tudor Submariner 7016 - it’s a beauty! Thanks for tuning in watch nerds 😎🤓
