  • It has been great to get hands on with this San Martin. If you are interested in getting one for yourself I will leave an affiliate link below:

    Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
    I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
    I try very hard to diversify my content as well and will feature big known watch brands, microbrands as well as Aliexpress watches.
    The majority of the watches I feature are in the affordable range but I do try and get some less affordable watches as well.
    Most of the watches that I feature I have bought with my own money. I buy them to enjoy and wear but I also to feature them on this channel.
    Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress, Ashford.com and Jomashop.
    If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
    www.ashford.com
    www.jomashop.com
    If you are looking for great strap options then definitly check out:
    vario.sg/
    and
    artemstraps.com/collections/s...
    As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
    Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.

    Thanks for the great review. Congrats on having the watch sent to you. For me (again for me) I feel homaging a vintage watch is fair game. This watch would be perfect if it had female end links. I have Seestern’s version (silver dial with black bezel) on a FKM Tropic, and it’s one of my favorite watches. Looking forward to the review of the other SM Watch they sent you.

    Morning James, I bought the grey version last summer and it’s a fantastic watch for the money. I too bought it because I agree with what you were saying about the price of the seiko that it is homaging. Seiko is a little over priced so this watch scratches that itch. Merry Christmas to you and your family

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  7 місяців тому +1

      That’s great to hear. I do like that colour version too.
      Merry Christmas to you as well.

    Great review that made me pull the trigger to get my first San Martin and the 3rd 62mas homage that I will have (waiting for the watch now). Have the Heimdallr frost that is 41mm, a bit too big and the Cadisen, although the size is okay, the QC is mediocre at best (poorly aligned indices and bezel with back play)

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  4 місяці тому +1

      I’m sure you will be impressed by this one. It is an incredible watch.

    Nice watch. A color matched date wheel would be the only improvement for me, but not a deal breaker. Regards and Merry Christmas to you and al subscribers.

    I have a SM subby homage, great quality watches for a very good price, and as for the NH35 movement, it's a workhorse, solid and excellent reliability.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  7 місяців тому +2

      I just got the equivalent Cronos with the NH35. It is really nice. But I think the SM may have been a better option.

    I picked up the 37mm in grey/black on a rubber strap, in the 11/11 sale. I chose it over the Seestern version for 2 reasons. With the PT5000 movement, the SM was a good deal thinner & it was only £25-30 more, pre- import/ customs tax. I paid £160, no added tax, delivered.
    Also numerous reviews stating QC issues with the Seestern. Sadly, the PT5000 was faulty & completely stopped working after around 7-8 hours. Returned the following day, with refund received a few days later.
    This was my second AliExpress watch purchase & I have to say it has put me off buying any more Chinese watches online.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  7 місяців тому +1

      That’s very disappointing to hear. I have been lucky and had no movement issues.
      But I am leaning more towards the Seiko powered watches now.
      I feel confident that that movement will work every time.

      Thank you. Yes it does. I think I just assumed it was a screw pin as all other SM I have had a screw pins.

    @dunderhay9169 7 місяців тому +1

    It is a nice watch, but I prefer Seiko's later case styles. I thought it looked like the lume on the hands was white and on the indices was greenish. I take it you plan to sell it on to fund further watch purchases 👍

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  7 місяців тому +2

      That is the plan. I really like this one but it will be moved along to help fund the next purchase.

    I have one but San Martin is written on the dial and not the logo. Is that original too? Did SanMartin made some like that?

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  6 місяців тому +2

      There have been a few generations of this watch.
      They tend to create newer versions and changing their logo is one thing they often do.

    @LymanPhillips 3 місяці тому +1

    Thats one pretty watch. I think its thr enamel dial and bezel thst sold me. Also the blue dial contrasting with the black bezel, but bot too much also helps. So temped, but i need another diver like I need a hole in my head...
