    I ponyed up a few more shekels for the San Martin with colour matched date wheel, the best aqua terra homage out there. This looks like a good alternative if you want the look
    and quartz utility.

      The San Martin sn0113w v2 has disappeared. Can't find it anywhere. There is just 1 color left that I don't want, So I am thinking the might be coming out with a v 3 or discontinuing.

  • @RayvandenBel
    @RayvandenBel 7 днів тому +1

    I have one (silver dial / black hands) and in general it is a good watch. However you really need to break off the ‘quick release’ screws on the back as they protrude too much and dig into your wrist. Furthermore the inside of the bracelet has sharp edges which you’ll have to sandpaper down a bit. After that it is a smooth and accurate watch.

  • @sammwaura3818
    @sammwaura3818 6 днів тому

    I've got the SM blue dial 6 o'clock white date homage.
    These two watches look very similar, but the legibility on the SM is better, in my opinion. The on the fly adjustment, screw link bracelet, and 6 o'clock date window are worth, to me, the higher price.
    Great review as usual 👏

      Automatic movements are easy to replace and you can keep the watch. Quartz is for lazy people, only quartz watch anyone would need is a Casio. These watches should be auto.

      @@jrbj2000 Quartz is thinner, more accurate, less prone to shock or vibration, easier to maintain, and cheaper to replace.
      Yet, you can't name a weakness of quartz and then call it a watch for lazy people to make it seem inferior to automatic. that statement only exist in your head, no one ever called people lazy just for wearing quartz watch.
      The irony of watch snobs.

    I would need a date. I have the Aqua Terra blue dial, I picked up in 2023 for $6200. One thing I hate about my omega is the butterfly clasp. I will never buy a watch without a Tfit glide lock on the fly adjustment. I then picked up the Rolex Submariner and it hit all the bells and whistles. Lol. Micro brands have started out Tfit and I have bought some.

    Love everything about this watch except the minute hand. I would much prefer a minute hand that matched the design of the hour hand, with lume on the main body of the hand and not just the tip. This would also help to improve the legibility. Other than that, this is a great little watch for the price. Watchdives is improving faster than probably any other brand, producing watches that are really good quality and Impressive value for money.

    @davidbraun2923 7 днів тому +3

    Despite everyone describing a 3 handed sports with no rotating bezel a Go Anywhere Do Anything watch I have to disagree - if I am travelling to different time zones this kind of watch would mean constantly stopping and restarting the watch, whereas add a true GMT movement and it really is a GADA watch. Good looking watch though 👍
