    The San Martin looks brilliant, I have to say that I always thought the tudor looks a bit out of proportion but the San Martin is absolutely stunning.

    The San Martin’s plain oyster bracelet being reused on many of their watches isn’t a bad thing at all IMO. It’s the cleanest and best looking bracelet design and I would prefer it over rivets any day.

    Jody, I really appreciate these kind of reviews. It is nice to see how the homages get to the original. Money is a resource that should be used wisely. That being said, I love the fact that there are the San Martin’s and Pagani Design’s out there. If you are not sure a Tudor would be for you, better to try the homage first and see. Also, I just can’t see paying over $1k for a watch. I appreciate how they are made and with my experience in metalworking I know what it takes. Just too hard for me to pull the trigger. A big thank you to Mr. X, San Martin Official Store and Trendy’s so you could make this happen.

      maybe just buy ONE really nice watch.. I started in Longines, and that gave me a taste of what a premium or entry level luxury watch felt like. It is very satisfying and a noticable difference from the affordable sector. Having said that, it also makes you appreciate what you can get for $500. Take a look at the Longines Conquest line.. for $1225 you get a fine timepiece with heritage and prestige. In fact on Joma they like $900 if you're willing to put up with their shenanigans and wait however long (I dont suggest it).

But the minute you mention love/interest for reps, people will typically be super dismissive and shit on you. It is rather mind boggling.

    Great video Jody! Love all you do. Just wanted to share few tips on adding music to your videos:
    - Having too many songs in one video can be distracting for viewers, I would pick one or two and just loop them again and again. It helps with the continuity of the video.
    - Really didn’t love the first two tracks, but the two bossa nova inspired tracks and the downtempo 5th track are really nice. I would definitely recommend looping these, and people will learn to love them.
    - Definitely know as a creator the excitement of including music with your videos. All of the music in my videos are my own creations so I always hope people love them. That being said, I do think you cranked up the volume a tad too high in this one. I typically go minus 30dB on the main tracks, and closer to minus 15dB on my intro and outro music. I find that a good level most people accept. Try looping the two or three best songs and then lower the volume a bit and you’ll be golden.
    All in all amazing comparison! I owned this BB Chrono previously and do consider it worth the money for what it’s offering as a column wheel chronograph. Please don’t take my comment as anything more than constructive criticism from someone who also loves to include music in their videos. Keep up the great work and cheers from Hong Kong! 🍻

    Funny thing is, I use the diver extension on my PD Chrono all the time while wearing the watch at work. It is just enough to relax the watch when my wrist swells and then I lock it in after work. I use the micro adjustment for fitment through the year but on almost a regular, I am popping my extension open and close.

    Nice comparison review Jody! San Martin is killin it lately, IMHO. I actually like the look of the San Martin more than the Tudor, it seemed the most proportionate. I think my 1st San Martin will be their SN012, "original cough HELM VANUATU cough design", which again, I like more than what it's homaging. I just purchased that MIDO OCEAN STAR GMT you reviewed a while back, so it might be a minute before I get that San Martin though lol. JOMW always top notch reviews!

    I just ordered the Pagani. With the snowflake hour hand and the snow white dial, it’s a nice tribute to winter. I don’t mind that its snowflake on the hour hand is almist cartoonishly large in proprtion to the hand and isl, as compared to those of the Tudor. I like the Pagani’s compression of dial elements vs the Tudor.
    The cherry on top is the Pagani’s mecha quartz movement. It embodies the best of quartz and mechanical!.

I wish it was white like the Tudor. I really like the San Martin bracelet. I’m happy that they did bring it over to this watch. I really like how it wears the finish and I really like the on the fly adjustment. I think it’s a top-notch bracelet on a watch of this price category.

The vk63 seems good too. those better quality Pagani riveted bracelets and clasps are great.

    When I got to my local AD looking for Pelagos, I saw the BB Chrono and it was in that coloration. There's no way I would choose the San Martin or Pagani instead of the Tudor. No way in hell. The watch in person is stunning and I really like the movement co shared with Breitling. This isn't me trying to be a snob, but don't just disregard the Tudor "because it's expensive". If I have to get a cheap chrono I would go the Seiko Flightmaster instead of the two homages any day.
    Anyone who claims the San Martin and the Pagani are better choices over the Tudor while disregarding the Seiko Flightmaster is on heavy dosages of copium.

    13:23 Pagani is not for diving
    13:58 Tudor is a dive watch
    My experience is that any 100 meter water resistant watch is perfectly fine for diving, at least down to 20 meters, I don't go any deeper.
    So I see this divers extension as a plus.

      Actually I have the PD-1701 Version 2. It has the same diver’s extension. The extension is just spot welded to the clasp. It is very weak and would not take much to break it. Also Pagani Design says that the PD-1701 is 100m WR. I got some seepage when doing the dishes so I don’t quite believe them. Say what you want about Invicta, but they are pretty water tight.

      @@acftmxman Yes I have not worn any Pagani so far, I did dives with 100 m rated Casio, Mondaine and CWC, neither of them leaked.

    St19 is not the only mechanical choni option under $500. I just picked up a Detroit Mint Mechanic for $400 that uses a valjoux 7750 clone. It has a 2 year warrantee as well.

    Great video and nice to see all three together. Is it just me though, does the Tudor bracelet look mismatched? Looks like the finishing/colour is different? Looks a bit like it's come from a different watch?

    I almost bought the SM, but the Sugess Zenith withthe ST19 caught my eye and it's a ton cheaper. Would love to see a review. As for these the SM offers a great package but the BB is so hot I would worry about someone noticing it. With the Z homage no ones ever heard of them🤣 Not non watch people anyway. A fasinating comparison, thanks J.

    I've really fallen out of love with my Black Bay Heritage 41mm to the point where I haven't worn it for six months. It's far too thick and the lack of half links plus an on the fly bracelet adjustment means I just can't get it to be comfortable. It will be up for sale soon...

      I recently fit rubberB rubber strap (black/blue) on my BBH41 with blue bezel and it has now become my daily wear (from almost never wear it) as it looks so stunning that I forgot it's thick.

      Had only worn 41mm Tudors on Everest or Vanguard rubber until recently, and was surprised to find the bracelet does not fit me.
      Cannot stand the fake rivets anyway so will see if the non riveted version fits.

    Really appreciate the review! Been looking at this Pagani. Seems like one of their best watches so far.
    Interesting how the VK64 beats the more expensive movements without any real drawbacks.

    The beautifully high polished sides of the Tudor scratch like nobody's business. My 8mth old BB41 looks like I use a cement mixer as a watch winder

    I think the UGS mean Upgrade Grand Series. When Pagani first released the panda they had a different caseback that stated UGS...but it was unpopular so they switched the caseback design....
