Cronos used to be San Martin’s main competition a couple years ago, but they seem to have fallen behind, but you’re absolutely right, if you want SM quality at around 75% of the price, you can’t go wrong with a Cronos. Thanks!
Cronos one of the best Aliexpress brands. I have a watch with pure white hands and creamy colored indices and to me it makes the hands 'pop' and makes it super legible. Great work!
I picked up the Tandorio version for about $80 - Went for the sterile dial/no logo - I figured since it was a homage why not look for the least costly & I have to say it's pretty nice, NH34 movement, aluminum bezel insert, oyster bracelet with the quick adjust built into the clasp (a nice touch)
Exactly! You put the finger on it, mate! Not a few of them are kept in a safe and never see the daylight because they are so valuable and their owners are too worried about them to actually wear them. As for this watch: it's very good except for the applied logo, you're right about it, it's well meant but looks out of place imo and they should sort out the lume colour! 😂
Great video. It’s a nice watch. I bought the Cronos Tudor black bay GMT homage over the San Martin version as the dimensions were the same as the OG Tudor. Lovely watch. As for this one I’ve got the Pagani Design Pepsi GMT with the NH34. Bezel’s a bit light but it’s a stunning watch for under £70
You still don’t get it.Fair has nothing to do with anything. Seiko or Rolex are world wide conglomerate which have world wide distribution,service centers,AD, warehouses,middle man,warranty,design centers,testing centers for watch parts etc. You don’t have a clue how manny people are involved around huge watch brand. Cronos and San Martin doesn’t have a shit and that’s why they can offer sapphire and ceramic on 300$ watch but if you have in your payroll 400 thousand people any chinese watch would cost triple,that’s economy.
Funny review as always, love it !!! On the other hand, I despise Rolex and everything they represent, but this little Chronos looks like a super nice beater with spunk-colored indexes 😉
Pretty sure it's not sapphire. Saw a review of another Cronos Rolex homage watch where the reviewer said it wasn't sapphire. I don't recall if he said it was mineral crystal or anything else.
I'm torn between this or the Sugess with darker blue and darker red as well. My deal breaker with me in this is the rehaut, is it thick like the San Martin's sub homage? I don't like that the dial is deep. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you
@@neriel0326 it is quite a wide rehaut, yeah - apologies for not getting back to you sooner! I just went through several photos and video of the Cronos as I’ve since moved it on, but the rehaut is definitely not slim 👍
I just wish San Martin or cronos put a true GMT movement in some of their watches. The myota 9075. Sure they would be more expensive but then they would be so much better.

I picked it myself a few months ago and it’s fantastic in the dark Pepsi bezel.

Seems like every single day there’s a better one 🤷🏾♂️
Spunk white 😂 love it bro👍

Glad to have you in our camp! I like my homages. But I do stuff to them. Here I'd start by lightly brushing the logo so it's more visible.

My uncle has a real Rolex and I've only seen it because he showed it to me, but I've never seen him actually wear it...ever.

Class review. Props to you mate
It’s a phenomenal watch and better than a Rolex because it’s fairly priced. I own it and it’s on my wrist rotation regularly.

I have the coke bezel one,fantastic build quality,well worth the money.
I wish Cronos would come out with their own original designs. Maybe something that looks like a Breitling Aerospace or Navitimer.
LOL
Your channel is awesome. Please do the IX&DAO 6542 homage!
Looks cool to me

"Spunk White" I LOLd Hard 😂
Great review! 👏🏼
The San Martin SNO111 bracelet fits the San Martin gmt giving it an adjustable bracelet and female end links.
Is the cyclops mineral or sapphire crystal?
Great review
Pretty sure it's not sapphire. Saw a review of another Cronos Rolex homage watch where the reviewer said it wasn't sapphire. I don't recall if he said it was mineral crystal or anything else.
The logo,is the deal breaker
The clasp on san Martin's are the deal breakers for me.
If it’s printed, im a happy guy

@LumePip it's not too terrible for a nh34, the rehaut on the pagani design gmt master is almost twice as deep.
Hi again this is a lovely looking watch TBH. Do you know if you can buy it with an oyster style bracelet?
I’m actually not sure mate! I’ll take a look
I’m only seeing jubilee ones, mate 🤷🏼♂️
"Spunk white even." Oh boy... my mind went to a place it shouldn't have
The san martin gmt pepsi its better quality? Yellow indices color the cronos?
Spunk white indices. Yeeowza.
😂
I'm not really a fan of GMT's.
Affordable enough, yet a great quality watch for everyday wear.
Like your Mum says about you - a daily beater!!
I'll give this video a like just in the hopes it pisses off said dull people.
I wonder if San Martin subs have similar mismatched lume. My Cronos L6015 looks same as your GMT - white hands and creamy indecies lume
The one sm sub I had, had the same issue
WatchDives has the thickness listed at 12.6mm, but your review says 13.5mm??
I used calipers and included the caseback and the crystal - not sure if they’ve measured just the mid case to the crystal or something 🤷🏼♂️
@@LumePip They were probably measuring it from mid case to crystal.
Is this the darker red & blue version?
It is, mate, yeah 👍
I just wish San Martin or cronos put a true GMT movement in some of their watches. The myota 9075. Sure they would be more expensive but then they would be so much better.
Is this the regular blue and red bezel or the darker one?
Darker one, mate ✌️
Always better than SM
It doesn't take much to be better than San Martin ...
Flyer GMT movements are stupid. You can’t even change the date without spinning the hands around, and if you get it wrong, you gotta do it 31 times.
They need to work on a better logo
Spunk white? 😂😂😂😂😂
"Spunk white" ffs
Subs !
Nah
You cant say better than san martin when the indicies colour is yellow as fuck😂😂😂😂 and the polished logo?... u cleary see it only 20%
