I always feel that the scratches on the watch define it. Doesn't matter if it's a Rolex or a Casio. If you wear the hell out of it and the scratches tell some sort of story, it's worth more than a show room watch in my opinion.
I agree and that's one of the things that's nice about buying the homage watches is that you can just go full send and not worry about it because there ain't no resale value to speak of really lol
i have sold my seikos, left the group and would take a San Martin any day and twice on sundays,, have 3 in my collection, the sno005, sn0121tc and have a sn017 on the way. I am in love with San Martin since i found the brand on RUclips and thanks to reviews like yours. Appreciate it and all the best. Cheers!
Yeah a lot of the big brands really need to get their s*** together because San Martin Kronos sugess and steel dive all outperform Seiko in that $200 to 500 price range and really honestly they're a lot nicer than a lot of seiko's that are above that price range
@@mr.eswatchreviews Just ordered the SN0129-Lapis Lazuli dial. Obviously different movement but at a fraction of the cost of the Grand Seiko it takes its case homage from, the dial should be unreal and makes it uniquely San Martin. Fit and finish is up there in the sub $5,000 swiss brands dare I say... :)
I have two san Martin black n blue, about 3 yrs old and thnk they really great, but the new clasps now??? They suck imo hate them am i the only person that thinks this ? Thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱
Yeah I pretty much go full send on all of them there's a couple reasons I do it a spent the money on it so I want to use but I feel a lot of these other review channels get them brand new show them to you and then send them out sell them whatever I just don't see a lot of reviews after it's been used good and heavily basically I do my best to be the most honest and straight up review channel on RUclips
Hello Mr. E! Have the sn 017 in blue exactly the same blue as your sn 019? On the dail and the bezel? Thank you so much for your support! Greetings from the little Austria in Europe 👋

That's an extensive review, love that you actually show how it held up after use
That's the main reason I do the show I figure if it is tough enough for me then everyone else should be safe lol just telling it like it is no BS here

Never owned a SM, but they look like really good guilds. Love the batman!
I would highly recommend picking you up one of these and or a Sugess especially for the price point they are extremely well-built
Thumbs up and subbed for the information and saying it like it is, cursing needs to be de-criminalised :-)
Agreed 💯 🤣
Nice SM Smurf daily beater. You will make some day a 10 yr usage review.
We shall see
Its a beater that's not a beater

The one on this one works great I just wish it had the on the fly adjustment like the very newest ones they have now
nice one. you really wear these watches the way they' re supposed to be worn.

Nice watch
Thanks for watching and yeah for the money it pretty badass
For build quality (bracelet, bezel) which one sub homage do you prefer, san martin or sugess?
ruclips.net/video/789lygL1uPc/видео.html
Here's a video where I discuss exactly that
Short answer Sugess because of price but please watch that video I kind of explain myself a little bit better

@@abdulkarimahmed39 when I bought this they did not have that option
I been beating the dogshit out of mine 2 years in October
Awesome John How's that Nautilus you won a little while back
She's running great
Click my shit 😂😂😂😂
Nice review Ed.
Is there anywhere to buy a replacement basil insert for this watch?
It's pretty standard size so you should be able to order one off of AliExpress or Amazon
