I used to wear my Sub daily, after buying it new back in 1998 (16613, "Sultan"). The last maintenance/cleaning set me back ~$1100. I still wear it, occassionally. My favorite daily driver: Seestern S435. This is purportedly a homage to the Glashutte SeaQ, which is a homage to the GUB diver from the early 1970's, which was a nock-off of the French vintage diver "Le Forban Securite Mer". In any event...the fit/finish, high beat Seagull movement (ST2130), double domed sapphire crystal, nicely lumed ceramic bezel, sunburst blue dial, nicely lumed / applied indices, screw down signed crown, SS316L case/bracelet, machined micro adj bracelet. For under $200...and incredible value imho. I really like my S435.
Me too! My poor Rolex day date Oyster has had to put up with me wearing a Seestern, Pagani or Addisdive for most of the time... 😮😊
I’m definitely calling BS here. Nobody who owns a submariner is wearing a POS like that instead.
I have this watch with the sword hands. I was originally going to buy it without the date but San Martin emailed me about the introduction of the date version and I ordered it. As you say in your review no one will mistake its inspiration but sword hands and no cyclops give it an individuality which I love. I think it is a stunning example of San Martin’s quality - I can’t fault it. Thank you for your excellent reviews - keep up the good work!
I love how everyone seems to be comparing this San Martin to the Rolex Sub…..when clearly it’s the Sea Dweller it’s inspired by. 40mm case, date but no bubble? That’s clearly inspired by the Sea Dweller 4000. And the blue fade dial? Clearly taking a cue from the Rolex Sea Dweller Deepsea! 🤔🤷😂
Including the thickness
it's if a Sub and a Sea Dweller had a b.. 🤔😁 Thank you for watching! 😁👍
Exactly.... is SD4K homage
San Martin, if you’re listening, I’d pay a little extra to have a Miyota 9000 series movement. 👍🏻
Agreed, but I think the current price justifies a 9000 series without an increase. 😉
SN019-G it has SW200 movement
Agreed. Better than ETA based garbage movements that can't handle hand winding lol.
And to make the case a shade thinner and
Yeah. I actually am putting off from buying any San Martin since I don’t want my collection to be 90% NH35’s.
At that price, the NH35 should be upgraded to maybe a Miyota 9000 series. With the NH35, I think that price is a bit high.
@clintonmccool2330 Agreed. Let's see if SM eventually does something about it :-) Thank you for watching! 🙂👍
That's how they make a large profit...
Show me where you can get a watch this good with a 9000 series movement in it for $230.
My Tandorio NH35A watches are kicking major bhoutee in keeping time, at less than +5 secs/day!
Miyotas are of no interest to me, because they are uni-directional winders, so half the time on a winder or my wrist is wasted! Seiko/TMI is bidirectional!
@@turnbasedtoddy7664people are clueless. Don’t bother
I think SM knocked this one out of the park. Perfect dimensions, typically outstanding finishing and the featureset that almost everyone has been asking for. This is what happens when a watch company listens to its customers. I'm not in the market for a subbie homage, but if I were, this would be the obvious choice. Especially at a $211 price.
Be good with a flat crystal and PT5000 to get the height to around 12.5mm. I really want a 4Hz movement in their premium offerings.
Love the date window.
Great review. Managed to order a TI version which is now out of stock in most placed and according to SM now discontinued
thank you sir for enhancing information about this watch👍👍👍☺
This is very tempting. I also like the idea of a Miyota high beat.
Some one-to-one clone from god knows where can't compare (disregarding the calibre) to this level of detail, quality and finish for the price. Bravo. And I'm not even a sub fan !
Owned a prior version and ended up giving it to a friend. It was excellent in all regards. I just didn’t like how the maxi case looked on wrist. This versions is a nice improvement.
Hi, how sharp are the underside edge of the bracelet. I have/had a few SM but their oyster bracelets are just uncomfortable to wear for a long time. Is this the same?
@xinni7042 It is 'crisp' but not uncomfortable. Never had any issues with any of SM oyster style bracelets before.
Just stumbled onto your channel.... great review! Keep up the good work!
Welcome aboard!
Great review!!!
@jorgecarrasco4206 Thank you! 🙂👍
Great review. Great watch. Really something to consider it you're looking for a Sub-homage. Better choice than others. Maybe an upgraded movement choice and I'll pull the trigger on this one👍
it's not a sub homage
Can you please compare with the sn0017? Apart from the bracelet, clasp and cyclops, how is it better? Thanks
Also add in comparing the sn019! A comparison of all 3!
Great proposal! Sm has so many homages to this iconic Watch model that’s difficult to decide which one is the best value for money
I like san martin but sincerly thenacuracy with seiko basic mouvment is not the same,but for the price who care
Unfortunately I’m a Sub Homage addict so I will have to buy it lol.
it's not a sub homage
Do they do similar version but with the beetroot colours...great video👍
@thunderjoy7250 beetroot? - Do you mean blue / black gradient?
hello, greto video man. I'm from Brazil, and our taxes to import something from aliexpress is very high. In London, or USA have taxes to?
@augustofernandes7777
Definitely import taxes in the UK and I imagine the USA isn't much different.
Rehaut to high ?
Because of the double dome glass ?
Give me blue one😎
Looks like Ginault quality for a fraction of the price
I have a Ginault and this SM, the Ginault has better Finishing however for the price difference it’s understandable. I would buy the SM again, it’s just perfect, also considering the price!
If only they had a PT5000/ETA 2824 option. I have an authentic ETA 2824-2 I'm looking to drop into a really nice case. This would have been it.
Do Sam Martin have sharp edging on their bracelets?
In my experience, yes. Day and night with my Monta Oceanking v3.
@gavinhogg843 The edge is 'crisp' but I wouldn't call it sharp. I never felt any discomfort with none of SM oyster style bracelets.
Thank you for the video, I think I'll be buying the gradient dial sword hands style while it's still on sale.
Can I please ask if enough links can be removed to fit my scrawny 6.5 inch wrists? Thank you :)
@marcussmith2798 there are enough removable links for 6.5 inch wrist, and I think you should still get the full flexibility of the on-a-fly adjustment which has a range of approximately 1 link ~ 8mm.
@@ShinyThings That's awesome, thank you for the prompt reply! 😁
I really like this watch. That it has no Cyclops is a big bonus, as I always think they spoil a watch, much like how a big pimple spoils a beautiful face. It’s going in my basket now. By the way, great review as usual.
@bobsyeruncle5557 Thank you for watching! 🙂 👍
I was talking with San Martin and they said it was BGW9 and not BGWX1
Until San Martin makes half-links, if ever, I won't buy another San Martin on oyster bracelet. Even with the quick adjust clasp, I, like others, can't get a good fit. Some can; others can't.
41mm SD4K
If Rolex would only use a $10 movement, life would be so wonderful! They're missing a huge opportunity! 😂
No date would've been nice.
@tigerWarrior490 There is a no-date version of this watch. Thank you for watching! 🙂👍
Lol, the original version was no date. I was waiting a year for the date version!
now make comparisons between san martin and rolex and how to make a comparison with rolex and tudor.. the level is so high that it is no longer just a cheaper alternative.. but a considered choice of construction quality 🤔🤔
Nice 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching! 🙂👍
I had the Sub no-date but sold it because of weight on my smaller wrist. I would love for SM it offer a titanium version. I can take a watch with the Ti finish for the reduction in weight.
Thank you for sharing! 🙂👍
No cyclops? I WANT A CYCLOPS! I WANT A CYCLOPS! I WANT A CYCLOPS! I WANT A CYCLOPS!
This watch is DEAD DEAD DEAD for me!!!!
I have 3 Invicta Pro Divers WITH cyclops, and I am sticking to them, and I LOVE them!
San Martin is DEAD DEAD DEAD!
🤣
San martin, make your clasps smaller.
I agree. They already have a smaller on the fly clasp on their mesh bracelet. Should use that as their standard clasp.
Applied text logo instead of the hex logo and a capped seconds hand would finush it off nicely. I also think in this instance male endlinks look better
13.5 mm thick is a deal breaker.
@williamsipe1151 300m of water resistance though 😁 Thank you for watching! 🙂👍
I agree. Too thin! I like BEEFY watches (as long as they aren't Invicta). Lol 😊
But yeah, I guess that's one of the drawbacks of the NH35.
12mm should be the standard
Nh35 easily fits in many San Martin 12mm cases. It's a design choice they made to homage the oversized original @@clintonmccool2330
Nh35 is a beefy movement. They could use a pt5000 and probably shave some thickness off if
I just love San Martin fit&finish. There is no doubt that they are the leader in Aliexpress Chinese watch brand. However, honestly speaking, I do not like the applied silver logo plate. Somehow, it does make the watch look cheap and just does not work aesthetically on the dial. I just hope that they can use their previous "stylized" letter logo (which they use for some models) or come up with a new logo which will blend in more with their watch's aesthetics. Thanks for the review.
@alexsdg3441 Thank you for sharing! 🙂👍
Fatto benissimo ma, è l' ultimo San Martin che acquisterei. Altri San Martin sono nel mirino
We really need to stop giving "homage" (read; slightly tweaked rep) designs oxygen. San Martin is just starting to break ground with their original designs, don't start giving them the idea that people really want rebadged replicas again because you can be sure as shit they'll follow the money all the way back to their old ways.
I wish Rolex made a watch that was actually attractive, or, at the very least, interesting.
But rolex already makes $200 watches it is just that they find enough suckers that are willing to pay $10,000 for them...
Lol😂
😁
Swiss watches ? RIP
I have the exact same watch (blueblack dial, same case shape, same bracelet, nh35, saphire, ceramic bezel, blue lume) from pagani design for less than 100eu (90 if i remember well). It is 100m wr and case back s transparent. But it has a cyclop and magnification is very good. No excuse for the X3 price. This "sanmartin" is just one more chinese brand like pagani but hyped and highly overpriced.
Can we please stop comparing every watch to a ROLEX. Every watch is NOT an homage to a ROLEX.
This one is tho, isn’t it?
