Waited 30+ days but I think it’s worthwhile

Bought these two San Martin watches during 4th of July weekend and I just received them. Only had them one day so no review but initial build quality and craftsmanship looks superb. I will say though that I bought them so long ago they were probably $200 cheaper than they are selling for now.

New Upgraded San Martin SN0138 Review...

Can this justify the price increase over the older version?

Also what colour would you call this?

Here's the link to my review of it.

https://youtu.be/4\_S55DD97LQ

I received a discount to review this watch. But, as always that doesn't change how I review the watch. I always keep it 100% honest, no matter what. I point out both the positives and negatives with every watch I review. Whether that be a loan piece, discounted, or even free. Sometimes that means that brands won't send me anymore watches, if they don't like the review... But my opinion and more importantly, my reputation can't be bought. That's partly why I named my channel 'Honest Watch Reviews'. Not only to make sure that I hold myself to that standard, but that I know my viewers definitely will do too.

In light of recent San Martin price hikes

I decided to give San Martin even more money! Best $300 I ever spent. Easily better finishing and construction that a watch that costs 10x more money.

Haters gonna hate. Might try the jianghun next, I hear they are even better for $500.

San Martin, please consider these. Who would buy?

Top pick for me: white dial, dark red bezel

2nd pick: black dial, gold accents, dark red bezel

3rd pick: colours to match seamaster 300m NTTD. Not an extra crown. Same case and bracelet but in titanium.

Light blue San Martin SN0144CG really pops!

Ordered this as well as the black dial earlier this year before all the price controversies. Both are incredible pieces. Highly recommended. Sits absolutely low to the wrist and have the dial aperture of a Rolex Oyster Perpetual or Datejust 41mm. I won’t repeat the reviews of San Martin bracelets found elsewhere.

Trouble ordering San Martin SN0121T?

​I tried ordering the titanium San Martin SN0121T from Diver Watch Factory Store on AliExpress recently, but the way things were unfolding made me get cold feet. I want to see if this is the usual experience or if I was right to walk away.

​I bought it during the pre-order phase. Once the watch was officially released, they printed out a shipping label, but the package just sat there. The tracking never updated. I messaged them to ask what was going on, and they told me it wouldn't actually ship until after my buyer protection window expired.

​That made me super nervous. I asked for a full refund and got my money back without a fight thankfully

​I still really want the watch, though. D​id I jump the gun by cancelling, or did I dodge a bullet here? Also, is this going to be my experience with other storefronts? Tactical Frog, Thorn Watch Store and others seem to sell this model - am I going to have the same experience with them as well? I wanted to order directly from San Martin but they don't even have the model listed on their website as out of stock.

Is this model even being produced still?

If anyone can enlighten me I'd be very grateful. If I missed my opportunity to buy this model I'll at least be able to move on peacefully!

Additional info: So for context, I preordered the batch that was to be released on July 6th. The shipping label was printed and ali said after August 17th I would receive my coupon, and would receive a full refund by August 29th. On August 12th I spoke with a rep from the storefront who said my order would not even ship before the 29th, as it was still in "Shipping label created. " status.

San Martin SN0107-B PT5000 project watch, make me an offer!

Anyone here interested in taking this off my hands?
I bought this SN0107-B with the PT5000 and unfortunately had movement issues pretty much from the beginning. It was losing hours per day and had a rattling/jangling sound inside.

I sent it back to San Martin for warranty repair, got it back, and it worked normally for a few months. I didn’t wear it for a week, the power reserve ran out, and now I can’t get it running again. I’ve wound it I can feel resistance and hear it winding, but the movement won’t start.

San Martin has offered to have me send it back to China again for another repair, but at this point I’d rather move on than deal with shipping it back a second time.

I think total I’ve worn it about 10 times and it’s always been with a nato strap. If anyone is interested, make me an offer!

I’m happy to send the video showingg exactly what it’s doing and provide the correspondence/repair history with San Martin. Obviously being sold as-is and not currently running.
