    I ordered the marble because of THIS review. I just wish this watch had the prettier bracelet, like on the desert dial watches. Most people seem to not like it, but I love the polished center. It does make it dressier, that's what I'm looking for. A breath taking dress watch.

    Very late to the San Martin appreciation club but I have to admit, from what I have seen in the metal, they are pretty impressive and now they appear to be raising their game even more. I am a bit of a 'Seiko-path' but if I was in the market for a budget GMT I would definitely look at this and the cheaper models with standard dials.

  • @BrokeWatchFanatic

    If you can get past the name, this is one very serious time piece for the money. This is getting significant wrist time right now and already have been asked on three occasions what the watch was. It's interesting to see some people's reaction to the brand.

    Excellent review as always, and nice watch. You suggest that SM took loose inspiration from Grand Seiko, but Vincero has been making an automatic watch with a marble dial for a long time (and I realize I may get flamed for bringing up that brand).

I don't think that I'll not gonna like it, especially for 250£ that I've paid for that. For my quartz , leather strap, white dial with roman numbers Tissot, I paid 220£ , but this SM looks way better even on photo + steal bracelet + decent Seiko Movement .

    Nice review. Congratulations on your new watch. Nice watch.

    I think the Marble would be my choice in this Model’s current offering .

    I hope someday SM showcase PRC movement.

      @@ShinyThings i am not well versed in movement, but anything to challenge NH35 / Miyota 8200 / 9015 is good imho.
      Some that come to mind are PT5000, ST3600, ST3621, ST16, the venerable ST1902, Hangzhou 5000.
      Sure some of it may be derivatives, but i think we of the working class (and of those who failed the birth lottery hence lower earning ceiling) would also like to have access to the world of mechanical wonders.

    3:13 That GMT hand is not snapping to the correct position. Seiko NH movements may be reliable but I have found them to have poor time keeping. Such a nice watch deserves a better movement.

      @gilbertoflores7397 Před 2 měsíci

      Seagull produces their own ETA movement clone that is said to be very decent, or would you think a 9K Miyota would be the best route to go? I think if they could produce a HAQ movement for their watches they'd rule to industry, as a lot of watch companies don't really do high end quartz anymore outside of "The Citizen" and Grand Seiko. Bulova and Seiko Dolce dabble in it, but don't make many appealing options.

    Da che mondo e mondo gli orologi si assomigliano. Vince sempre chi si attribuisce la paternità di una presunta novità.
    Sono in attesa del Dragone e quando lo avrò ricevuto e non sarò deluso può darsi che la versione nera o blu di questo orologio susciti il mio interesse. Mi piacerebbe che San Martin utilizzasse altri movimenti perché talvolta non è facilissimo spendere 300 per qualcosa che altri ti danno a 100.
    Vero è che l' utilizzo di calibri NH.. risolve l' ansia di eventuali malfunzionamenti per 2 buoni motivi: 1) sono affidabili 2) puoi comprare il movimento completo al prezzo di cappuccino e brioches a Londra😂😂😂😅
