Wow that lume looked incredible. I’ve only really looked at dive watches but like the simplicity of the Pilots. Great to see the watch on different straps too.
@@deanwaller8283 build quality is excellent! Precise machining, great dial and lume & smooth crown action. Feels like it should say Laco on the dial ;)
‘There’s always time to be kind’ ... That was awesome Aviv. Thanks for the shoutout. That was really cool to see. Great review btw. I’m liking this brand. I’ll have to check it out.
EXCELLENT watch by san martin. very bright lume. 200m water resistance, sapphire crystal, screw down case back and crown. mine is the quartz version and the movement has a end of battery life indicator
I have both the type A and type B designs...... I have them on a Max Marine Nationale Parachute style strap (Green with yellow pin stripe) and they look great and are extremely comfortable on wrist!
I just received this watch and crown feels a little tougher/gritty than my other watches when I screw it down. Did you experience this with yours? Thanks!
That's cool to hear from someone who has both! Like I said, I wanted the cleaner no-date dial of the San Martin. Otherwise I probably would have bought the Steeldive.
But there is that date window on the steeldive and the minute markers are connected by an outer circle, like a half train track, on the San Martin. i went the cheaper route and sometimes have regrets looking at that date window. how is the strap on the San Martin in comparison? I wouldn't praise the steeldive strap so exited like our reviewer did for the San Martin strap.
@@MyAffordableWatchCollection if no date, I understand, as for a clean 'no logo' there is one seller that does the steeldive without logo. I bought the no date from San Martin for me anw the date version from steeldive for my son, I ended up buying a second steeldive for me, I thought the date would bother me, actually it didn't.. :))))
@@katerhofmann to be honest, the SanMartin leather strap old better the time, but could not say which I prefer :))) As for the lume, I though I preferred the SanMartin, but once I git the steeldive, I find the steeldive execution cleaner easier to read in the dark
This does look pretty nice. Great review as always mate... But personally I think the Escapement Time is better value for money. I absolutely love mine.
No one else I subscribe to has showed me that one. Seems a perfect simple flieger I was looking at a Laco but with exchange dollar for Canada it was beyond my budget.
A lot of strap options here! I've only heard good things about the quality of San Martin. I do feel like their prices are creeping up lately with some of their new models.
Great review! I love San Martin's other models, but I don't see much difference between this flieger and the much cheaper Steeldive fliegers. You should check out Escapement Time - the quality and value on them is bonkers!
Nice review. I have a Corgeut version that I quite like. This seems a step up though with the Seiko movement and AR coating. 👍 I just wish they would make a larger crown, Onion or cupcake.
It's definitely a step up from the Corgeut. But also, the Corgeut is around half the price of the San Martin so for itself it's still a good value watch! Thanks for watching Alton 😊
The one thing that confuses me is that there's no price difference between mech and quartz version. You'd think the latter would cost at least 30 USD less. Also no difference in thickness?
The quartz movement is Swiss made Ronda, so its pricier than Chinese or Japanese movements. That might explain the small price difference between the quartz and automatic versions. And they use the same case for both versions...
@@MyAffordableWatchCollection If you buy them in bulk, I expect around 35 USD for a Seiko NH35, but maybe 10 USD for a Ronda. There should still be a signficant difference. I wonder why nobody ever goes for a Seiko VH mecha-quartz movement btw. Those can't cost more than 20 USD either.
I love that mockup of the “There’s always time to be kind to one another” 😁😁😁 This San Martin Flieger is really somethin’. Makes me want to upgrade my Corgeut Flieger! 😅

Wow that lume looked incredible. I’ve only really looked at dive watches but like the simplicity of the Pilots. Great to see the watch on different straps too.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it!
i bet the version on the bracelet is even better!!! so much quality with SM! i think they regulate the movements before they send them out
One of my most worn watches! (I have Omega's, Tudors, Sinn, Damasko, etc) Killer watch!
How's the build quality?I had an addiesdive which was pretty disappointing

Love this watch. Think I'm gonna grab one.
Only thing I wish it had was blue lume instead of green. I never found green lume that attractive.
It's a matter of taste, I personally like green lume better. I think it also fits this specific watch better. Is green lume a deal breaker for you?
Having both the San Martin and the steeldive version, I would say steeldive is the same quality and even cheaper :)

It’s an awesome watch that lume is amazing
Like the elastic strap, great video Aviv 👌👌
I think so too, thanks for watching!
You had my attention at 39mm diameter!
This is a great size for me.
You keep putting out superb content Aviv!👍
Thanks Craig! It really is a great size 😊
I really enjoyed the thorough review with lots of different aspects of the watch. Looking forward to seeing more reviews.
Thanks Brian 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You should review the new pilots watch which has 41mm case
This does look pretty nice. Great review as always mate... But personally I think the Escapement Time is better value for money. I absolutely love mine.
I love my Escapement Time chrono-flieger, haven't had the chance to check the proper flieger out in person yet.
R W that's cool, I didn't know that!
I did talk to him a bit, seems like a nice guy.
@R W No way. That's even more impressive now then.
@@MyAffordableWatchCollection I've got both 😛
8:43 That NATO strap looks cool with the toucan, where can I get one? Thank you for the info! :)
Found it on AliExpress a couple of years ago
No one else I subscribe to has showed me that one. Seems a perfect simple flieger
I was looking at a Laco but with exchange dollar for Canada it was beyond my budget.
I can only recommend this one, it really is great for the money!
I love sn0117g
I went with the Steeldive Bronze with a date very nice watch !
Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your watch 😊
Unless you are looking for a watch for self-defense, that's a con. 😅
Nice review on a relatively nice watch! Great value. ☺️👌🏼
Haha, thanks Marty 😁
A lot of strap options here! I've only heard good things about the quality of San Martin. I do feel like their prices are creeping up lately with some of their new models.
They are definitely getting pricier with each new model, but the specs and the build quality are worth it.
Their pricing has been going up! Soon expect to pay north of $400!
9:41 i noticed that too LOL!
Because of this video, i bought myself a San Martin 👍😁
That's great, enjoy it!
@@MyAffordableWatchCollection yes indeed 🙏
How does your crown feel when screwing it down and unscrewing it? Just got one and it feels a little rough compared to my other watches.. Thanks!
Do you think it's gonna be ok for 16 cm wrist like me ?
"unless you intend using the watch for self defense" 🤣🤣🤣 👍
Great review! I love San Martin's other models, but I don't see much difference between this flieger and the much cheaper Steeldive fliegers. You should check out Escapement Time - the quality and value on them is bonkers!
Thanks bud, I have an Escapement Time coming on the channel soon 😊
@@MyAffordableWatchCollection looking forward to the review! 😄
I had an addiesdive flieger,its quality was pretty poor to be honest
Thinking of getting the titanium version for 199. Thoughts?
I didn't know there was a titanium version of this watch... For $199 it's definitely worth it!
Just found it on AliExpress, looks like a great deal!

@@Alias_Anybody San Martin has a chrono with a VK67 in it!
That’s a cool pocket knife
Ah it’s a shame about the 49mm lug to lug. That’s too big for my taste. Great looking watch though. Great review too as always.
It definitely wears bigger than a 39mm watch because of it. Thanks for watching Joey 😊

All of San Martin pilots have too narrow "3", it looks like 1.5 times narrower than "9". That's slightly annoying :)
