It’s an insanely great watch for the price. I’m assuming it’s similar to or possibly even the same watch as the $150 GMT 39mm Watchdives Watch (which I have), and I love it. Thanks for the great review! I REALLY like SM’s “new” line of less expensive watches.
The thing about Tudor homages is that Tudor, like San Martin reuses basic cases and bracelets over and over so more than almost any other premium brand building a tasteful set of homages is easy and effective. San Martin can offer different dial colors etc. so this is a bonus.
Have this watch in blue and loved it so much I purchased a micro adjust clasp separately for it. I think I wear it 4 days a week, have to intentionally not wear it to make sure my other watches get a look in!
I couldnt sayno wnen it was avilable at the beginning of the the year for approx $195 CDN (or $132USD). Its a phenomenal watch for the price, that Im still in awe of!
This was my first and so far only, San Martin watch. It is so versatile. It looks great on leather, steel, or an FKM Strap. It's my first 39 mm as I wasn't sure I'd like a smaller watch. This, however, is such a wonderful piece. I'm actually wearing it today on a brown CTS FKM strap with a watchdives SS clasp. I also have an orange CTS FKM, which blends so well with the GMT writing and the GMT hand. The GMT function is something I use quite a lot on my travels. I agree with you and highly recommend this piece. I believe one to get in the AliX sale starting tomorrow?
Hi james this looks great watch on the more affordable end and this looks incredible quality for the money . I'm fortunate to be able to have the ability to afford the the higher end of the watch market and are picking up my explorer 2 wight face from the ad to day. But if I didn't have the budget and wanted a smaller look I'd definitely buy this watch great video thanks John.
I’ve previously seriously considered buying the original . I ended up with the bb58 instead. Don’t was actually really nice to get a feel for this design without having to spend that extra money.
@@WATCHingJames thanks for your reply what I'm trying to say is being a watch enthusiast it doesn't matter if you are buying a£100 watch or £10000 watch it's the fact that you have a passion and a appreciation on how mechanical watches work. just because someone has a bigger budget to spend does not mean they enjoy their any more or less than someone who spends a lot less. this is why I watch your channel because you have a passion for all types of watches thanks John 👍
a color matched date would look worse and from what i've seen reviewers just complain for the sake of complaining and that just makes watches worse. like how most bracelets now are uncomfortable to wear because people on youtube kept complaining about flimsy bracelets (that were a joy to wear) and now all of them are rigid and uncomfortable but "good quality".
San Martin have become so popular, and their clones so widespread, that you're no longer sure who is cloning whom and who is the original. The system succeeded! The revolution is complete!
One of the reasons this has sold so well is that San Martin kept it almost 2mm thinner than the original so it actually wears better! Nice review 👍
It does wear very nice
Thanks for WATCHing

I think they are effectively the same company so would assume they are the same. Or very similar
just bought it. great watch
It is a fantastic watch

Yup I have had this for over a year - fantastic watch.
I keep hearing positive feedback about this one.
Good one James.. i like it how you picked a black dial instead of white one like many others do of this watch, looks very classy. thanks!!
I think it looks great with the black dial.
Love your the Rod & Gun polo 👍
Hahahaha. Thank you. They are really nice and work well to tuck the microphone in.

It is a fantastic watch. I can see why it’s so popular
I grabbed this model a few months ago. It's a phenomenal piece in my opinion.
You can’t go too wrong with this one. Looks great. Wears well. Good quality and affordable

It is a brilliant watch. Definitely one to consider. Especially when on sale.
I have the olive green dial with orange GMT hand. It's lovely.
It’s great they have a number of different versions available
no lume shot?
I wouldn't mind having one james. SM is always great
You really can’t go wrong with SM. They make fantastic watches.
@@WATCHingJames any experience with the flieger on bracelet version A?
Not the SM version. Although I’ve considered it a number of times
@@WATCHingJames would love to see you review it! and whats that thing in the background?
White date wheel definitely balances the markers better than a black one would IMO
Yes. I did think that later too.
Thanks for WATCHing

SM is really at the top in terms of the maximum amount of value, quality and finish. The black dial is rather pretty!
You can’t really go too wrong with any of their watches.
did you see how timex came out with ANOTHER gmt !
I certainly did.
I love this but I’m getting the 0129 this time around! The 3 hander
Another great looking watch.
Love it
It is a great watch

If only lug to lug dostsnce is 46mm or bellow...
Thanks for WATCHing
Correct, it´s to big for average size wrists..I have one and don´t wear it anymore.
What keeps me from buying anything from SM is their block of a logo on their dials.
Thanks for WATCHing
This is the 3rd video I've seen mentioning the best selling SM watch, and they all mention a different watch. Go figure....
Hahahahaha. That does not surprise me.
I'm confused - ist das nicht ein Black Bay clone? Ja, das ist ein Black Bay clone! So what's all this about its interesting looks?? 😄😄😅
