Let me know what you think, which one is best value for $ spent in your opinion? Purchase these watches here: Pagani Design: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdTZTNr San Martin: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEEU2hF
Hmm just saw that you uploaded this vid Chris, no notification or highlight from UA-cam, which is weird. Your intro game is spot on again :) The SM is indeed much nicer in my opinion and definitely worth more. 4 times more is obviously debatable. But you are spot on. When you get into the 400$ range, there are way too many original and interesting other options. I mean if you dig around a bit, you can almost get a Bulova LP for around 400$. That really puts things into perspective.
Thanks Andrei! In the case of this particular model absolutely agree. There are other San Martin’s that seem more reasonably priced (ie not over 400 bucks) but a good number are still north of 300. I have the only one I want or need at this point which will be reviewed on the channel some point soon.
@@MirrlyonTime I also have a single watch from them, i think the old version of the sm0068 with the great wave full lume dial. pretty sure i won't be getting another watch from them. I am mighty tempted by the new 43mm 'snoopy' lunar pilot though:)
I think the Pagani Design has the best value for money, for $300 you can buy a Tissot PRS 200, Citizen Navihawk or a Seiko Solar Chronograph. Great review as always!!
@@yellowblue2479 I couldn’t agree more. San martin is a great watch but I’ve always felt not worth the extra 300 bucks as in this case. If only Pagani would start to make their lume great they would be stellar. Steeldive and addies dive are doing good things too
A side note: I've found screw down pushers a powerful disincentive to actually using the chronometric feature. They're a darn nuisance! Allowing you don't actually need that increased water resistance of course. I don't and prefer my Seiko and Timex chronos to my PD although, otrw, I love my PD. Suppose the obvious option is to not screw the things down.
Very good point there are chronographs out there with 100m water resistance without screw down pushers, but they were staying true to the watch they are homaging in this case
Two watches from the homage kings in the watch world I see why people love the San Martin I still haven't had one yet. I've had Pagani Design and seen how they improved I can see the value especially if you don't want to spend that money or at least yet awesome review Chris
Thanks pal! With this particular watch I would say San martin is at least 100 dollars over priced. Broadly they have some wafchss that are excellent that are only 100 dollars more than a pagani.
Thanks for the video. I have the Phylida ST19 Chrono. I think it is far batter than both of these. The case, bracelet and the clasp are very nice. Pricing in in the middle of your two watches in this video.
Just found your channel lest night and subscribed. Good to find a Canadian you tuber. Watching your video back log. Keep up the good work. What part of Canada are you in ?
Can’t say I disagree value for dollar spent I think pagani are some of the best, just wish they would up their lume game. Thanks m8, and please subscribe :)
It is just me or SN looks really bigger? I mean, I tried the PD and it looks like a toy on my 7.75 inches wrist. Looking forward to buy the SN because of the wrist presence. Do you recommend? Thanks in advance!
@@Diasdhiego it all depends on what you are willing to pay. If this watch makes you happy and you are willing to part with 350 for it, then by all means go for it, I think between 250-300 is a fairer price though. If you do decide to buy it may I ask please use my affiliate link in pinned comment or description. Thanks m8
I think the Pagani is great for the money. I think the San Martin is great for the money. I think the Tudor is great for the money. They each have different values, so it’s what that value means to you.
Please watch this video. San Martin prices are equivalent to a lot of what Marc sells, Marc makes a great product and stands by it. For me, I would much rather spend my money supporting a brand like Marc’s… ua-cam.com/video/MgYxG67Hdjk/v-deo.html
Yes I’ve done a new video about San Martin, my newest, please check it out! Seiko yes but Tissot quite a bit more money than a San martin but worth saving for! Thanks for watching m8
No joking I hate Amazon I hate Jeff Bezos....I hate what America has become much less the whole world....I only buy watches in brick n mortar store's and that go's for everything else I need in life I refuse to give big business billionaires more money either way f***k the internet if I could go back in time and make it never happen I would. But I'm old school....

Let me know what you think, which one is best value for $ spent in your opinion?
Purchase these watches here:
Pagani Design: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdTZTNr
San Martin: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEEU2hF
A quartz movement is far more accurate than mechanical so for a chronograph I would pick the Pagani every time.
With that price difference it is hard to pick the SM.
But I do love their quality and I am that person that loves to interact with it.
Yeah, on this particular model of watch the price is quite high compared to some other offerings by San Martin. Thanks mate.
Pagani is the winner here, love the smaller dimensions

@@AnCar88 my pal @timelesssneakersandwatches just did a review on it, looks so sharp!!
ua-cam.com/video/TIHmXoCa56w/v-deo.html
@@MirrlyonTime Yep, saw it yesterday :) When prices go down a bit I might get one as a no worries alternative wear to the speedy.
I think the Pagani Design has the best value for money, for $300 you can buy a Tissot PRS 200, Citizen Navihawk or a Seiko Solar Chronograph. Great review as always!!
Thanks Sebastian, I do agree m8. I do think the San Martin is fantastic but in this case this one is a tad over priced
San Martin ❤
Anyone buying a chronograph with a mechanical movement at this price point is insane. The service cost will be more than the cost of the watch.
Pagani right now is on sale for 26$ US dollars which is a steal imo. I do prefer San Martin always over pagani though.
I think value for dollar spent goes to pagani but san Martin do make terrific watches
@@MirrlyonTime yes that’s correct, I just ordered my first pagani exactly same one in your video review, can’t wait to check it out in personal.
I have the Pagani PD1718 Reverse Panda and I totally agree it is the better choice in every way, in this case.

@@MirrlyonTime I see it about once a month. They are a rare beast on AliExpress.
@@BCallum yeah I looked on Ali and couldn’t find one

Ontario! Thanks for watching and subbing, where bouts are u at?
PD wins this one for sure. Quartz is very low maintenance and very accurate also keeping the case slimmer. And for that price? it is a Win!

It looks and wears bigger and I do recommend it if you can get it on sale, at current price if 449 CAD I would wait…
@@MirrlyonTime Amazing! Thank you very much! At U$350 it would be a goot price?

I see what you mean about the end links on your Citizen.

How come you like the Islander over San Martin?

That’s a fantastic bargain for that watch congrats and thanks for watching
May I know what site has that sale?
@@WorldTravelerCA it was Ali express a few weeks back. It’s back to normal price now :/
San martin costs too high you would be better of with a seiko or a tissot
Yes I’ve done a new video about San Martin, my newest, please check it out! Seiko yes but Tissot quite a bit more money than a San martin but worth saving for! Thanks for watching m8
i actually got the blue version of the san martin at 170$ landed cost.
That’s a good buy! Thanks for watching and if you haven’t done so yet please subscribe. God bless m8
Pagani's are great value for money. San Martin is a bit too high, you better go with a seiko or sth similar...
