WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use CZcamss lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and CZcams deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

I'm not bored at all by all the recent GMTs. Like I'm not bored of seeing thousands of dive watches. I just like seeing good looking watches regardless of what type it is - and this is one of them.
Cracking close ups Gary. Slick
Not sick of dive, GMT or combination of both. It's the best of all worlds and looks good.
Nice watch and great review. It is a green dial beauty! I do think think they made a mistake on the GMT hand. It should be the prioritized hand and thus the red one - not the seconds hand.
This is exactly the Longines hydroconquest GMT, Same color everything
Made a few changes though which is good, different case and bezel proportions, different hands, different crown guards, different clasp, different lume pips at 6 and 9…very similar though
Yes, except for the hands. Having tried out the Longines I must admit I was very tempted by it despite disliking how they beefed up the lugs giving it a more Rolex look of which I'm not a fan. A bit on the heavy side with a pretty chunky 41mm. Very striking live though and COSC certified...
Not the same functionality
@@mell3109 or price.
The case is from the Submariner as far as I can see.
It’s pretty. Just wish they made the date wheel the same color as the markers and put it at the 6 o’clock
Gary, I was all set to push the button on an SN015-G but dam it your review of the SN0136-G set the cat amongst the pigeons. I've now had to order the SN0136-G I realise it's loose homage to the longines hydroconquest gmt but the changes have created a fantastic watch. I'm a long term subscriber and your's is undoubtedly one of the best watch channels. Many thanks.
Great photography. Love the detailed info on the watch. Beautiful watch.
Thank you kindly!
That green/gold goes very well together......I have watches with all sorts of different dial colors but not one in green. Maybe this one needs to come into my collection.....
I am SHOCKED at how well I like the Addiesdive AD2118 in white!!! Its brilliant!
Is that the one with the ripple dial?, I liked the look of that one.
Owning both the Black Bay Gmt Pepsi and Black Bay Pro homages from San Martin i can never get tired of SM Gmt watches
Just proves what small companies can do for not a lot of money, makes you think why some charge so much.
Because they can 😉
For this price it needs the 9075 or a titanium case IMO.
Even discounted at $500 today, is a lot for a Seiko that has a minutes span accuracy a day, dressed in new clothes.
Same as the Pelagos replicas with NH94s, at least you get titanium.
Certainly not sick of GMTs, just after a traveller's 39mm in a titanium case and nobody does one.
Put the 9075 in the 39mm Pelagos titanium body and dial etc SM and then we are really interested.
So I pulled the trigger on the new Thorn Ti diver with SW200 and at the other end of the spectrum was a Casio Frogman. There were so many good deals over the last month that it became a bit overwhelming. This looks like another brilliant release by SM. Great job.
I love Dive and GMT watches.
Thank you for this review. I'm really excited about this one, I think it's beautiful.
A diver gmt is my favorite style of watch. So much function without giving up the good looks.
This is the recent Longines gmt release but they made the indexes right! No round indexes on the 6 and 9! I like it
Don't understand why they made the seconds hand red instead of the gmt hand, it would have made much more sense
Yeah me too. Maybe it was flying too close to copying the Longines.
If the logo is not nice, it’s a deal breaker. They should update that logo
Why is the wceonds hand tip red? That should be the gmt hand.
TKMaxx in UK have some reduced Hamilton GMTs [still £640] with example cities/islands on the bezel which I quite like. I happened to view one at 10:12 which the watch was set at with London on the bezel at 12 and the bezel shows the correct hour against e.g. Dubai in relation to London so at least easy to use at a glance.
Im delighted you reviewed this one Gary Ive been dying to see it in the flesh.
I love the longines but its way too expensive for me unfortunately.
SM have done a really good job on this.
Great review 🙌
That bezel sound 🤩
Not sick of GMTs at all. Love that the fourth hand can be integrated into more watches. Bring it on, gmt field watches, gmt divers, gmt dress watches…..
Need to swop the red from the second hand to the gmt hand.
very nice love that green and gold this on my to get list.... cheers
I recently got the SN036 and the bezel action is so similar to this one. Probably the best I've experienced. San Martin does an impressive job with their fit and finish
Doesn’t have a dive time bezel but I’d take a Zelos Blacktip GMT over this every day. Also has 200m WR, and also has its own character while this is a ctrl+c/ctrl+v of a the new Longines HC gmt…
The new Hydroconquest itself is very generic compared to the previous generations so a copy of it gets a « meh » from me.
There is a touch of Helm to the bezel you say? I'd rather say there is a touch of Longines...I like this even more than the GS homage by the way.
I like the diver's bezel, it is more useful than the GMT bezel. The green and gold color is perfectly matched. It can probably be sold for under 250 in a sale, so it is definitely worth considering
When San Martin does a watch nicely, it’s hard to beat it in terms of value for finishing. Thanks for the great review!
I'm a fan of these colors 😍 What a nice watch !
Gary very nice and almost a winner for me but … agree capped second hand would have elevated it but also the hour and minute hands are a bit flat on such a rich dial for me and it would have been much better if they had been finished with the 3D effect with the brushing and polishing. But still impressive by SM - boy do they come out with a large number of models! V best G
Printed logo is a big improvement on the applied one...
You should probably take a look at Aragon watches. Seiko n35 movement GMT for less than this
I see why GMTs have a 24hr hand but would prefer a second 12hr hand so both hour hands could be set to the same hour when I don't want to track a second timezone.. and yes I know I would still have to remember if the second timezone was AM or PM unless it had a moveable 24 hr bezel
Lollipop the second hand and I’m in… two arrow type hands and visually it isn’t sitting right. Sooo close San Martin… so close.
Like the look of this one Gary, Although unlike you, not warming to the colour, sorry.
I like the blue one, which has a light blue colored GMT hand. If it were a titanium case, I would really be interested.
Ooh, a Gary video! Time to put the kettle on and enjoy a review with a brew!
Hope you enjoy!.....the tea and the video!
I hope San Martin offers a traveller GMT using the myiota 9075
I wonder if they think it will push their prices up too high for AliExpress?
Maybe, but if I buy a GMT, it won't be with an NH34. I would want to use it for travelling so The 9075 really appeals.
I think it could be a great way for SM to distinguish themselves (further) from other Ali brands...
Longines alternative/hommage. Submariner case, Longines colour dial & rehaut. nicely done though. imma get me one.
I like the dial and hands, just not so keen on the Submariner case/bracelet, it would be nice to see this dial in one of their more original cases.
Can't relare to the questionable use of round indexes on the new Longines, so: thank you San Martin, done well ;) Rich green & gold, the clasp is perfect imho, what's not to like about this one. The further they move away from the copies, the better they become. Great review, Thx!
It’s not the gmt I’m fed up with it’s the NHxx. I’d pay more for the 28800 miyota or even a Swiss high beat ( in the same watch)
The green and gold looks nice. When are you gonna review the V2 SN0085-G-B?
No plans at this stage
Can we bring the cup with the hair brush back? I miss that brush. It felt like an old friend.
lol.....sure, i'll try to remember
This is nearly my perfect watch. GMT with a diver scale! and enamel black options. And they made it nice and thick, I enjoy a heavier watch. Its going to be very hard to not buy one. I wonder if this could be a dress diver.....
Man, that Japanese Primoflex cam is so sick😮😳👌🏻.
Where did you get it?
Online….vintage cameras are cool!
The H links are because this is a Longines Hydroconquest homage ;)
hydroconquest gmt by Longines
Looks stunning 😍
Great color combo. Would prefer it without the GMT. At that price point, give me a SW200. Looks like other brands are doing it.
Is it just me or is the audio very low on Gary's videos? Great video btw mate.
I don’t get this from anyone else…tried a different device?
@@ilikewatches laptop and phone. I must be getting deaf in my old age mate. Just thank God I'm getting better looking 😁
@@ilikewatches same here -- every other video I've watched in the last hour on CZcams has good levels except this one.
@@stephenmundane Thanks. I thought I was going deaf mate but she's still bending my ear so it's not me 🤣👍
It's fine for me
It's the St Patrick edition..!
Very quiet sound in the video. Content loudness -24 dB
Enoksen do a good one too. The Roam.
Who are we crediting for having a diver's bezel and 24 hr chapter ring, San Martin or Longines? lol
They logo on the dial maybe should be applied
Not a fan. Looks a bit too subby for me.
Longines is getting the homage treatment and I'm all for it. Pagani and San Martin are both teasing the reddit subs with spirit zulu time homages.
I prefer the last gmt much more than this. Diver gmt's are very hard to do, formex and sinn do good examples but are obviously far more expensive.
Hey guys, is there a San Martin official European website?
San Martin, the new Seiko.
Except San Martin offer better value watches
What movement has it?
Did you see the title....lol
@@ilikewatches ah sorry Seiko thx
Looks similar to that Longines watch at nearly 3 grand
Beautiful watch, is it a giveaway 😀🤔
Be careful, I got a NH34 gmt from the official San Martin store & when it randomly lost 5 minutes an hour after a restart they told me it was probably due to "electromagnetic interference" rather than a fault. It now runs erratic going from within tolerance to way out, but unless I can timegraph it (which I dont own & don't see why I should track one down) it's down to environmental issues rather than a warranty issue so no replacement has been offered. Nice watch, but utterly useless.
You can take them to a watch repairer to be tested? they can also demagnetise it...email me, ill see what I can do to help oldmantimegary@gmail.com
any chance you know the size of your wrist? i heard you say average sized lol
Roughly 7-7.25 inches
@@ilikewatches thanks!
there is a gentleman who collaborated with an Italian brand that produces watches... who had the courage to tell me. that San Martin doesn't produce quality watches... at that moment I realized that he knows nothing about watches 😂😂😂
Very Alpinist like
I’m sick of desk GMTs with this was a traveler
Horrible . But good video
браслет напоминает sinn
I just don't see a point in buying the big Japanese brands' entry-level watches when watches like this one exist.
Looks nice, but the logo is soooo ugly😢
Good grief mate - calm down, too much oscilating internation, this isnt the cartoon network, we're adults not children. Lovely watch
Its a stunning watch which I'd buy .... if only it was a minimum mans 43mm!!!!! I dont know any guy who dives with a tiny 41mm watch
Almost every single vintage diver was originally 40mm or less. Big watches are the anomaly.
quite bland. Like many San Martin watches it lacks any kind of originality or appeal beyond good manufacturing.
Crap watch
Best you've seen? Lol .clearly you haven't seen much
I will never understand a timing bezel on a GMT, drives me freaking bonkers. Who is tracking 2 time zones while diving? Who is timing dives while traveling? 24 Hour bezel and I'd have bought this in a second.
Often travel to diving destinations
Where would these brands be without Seiko
You mean Longines
@@lukegalloway2402
This video is about the best NH34 Dive watch. And who makes the NH34?
No, I think he means the cheap seiko movement.
