1963 WatchSan Martin Watches for Men - NH35 Movement Automatic Dive Watch SN008GC 40mm Mens Watch 20Bar Waterproof Sapphire Crystal Luminous Mechanical Wristwatch

As a new collector, I’ve set my sights on grails that cost 30 times more than San Martin’s homage to the Black Bay 58. Despite its lower price point, this watch delivers incredible value. From its solid build quality to impressive finishing, it’s a worthy alternative for anyone seeking that classic dive watch look without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

This is a well made , beautiful watch . Very sturdywatch bracelet . Overall polish is great . Excellent quality and price.. I would recommend it to all . Classy dive watch . Bezel is one way turn , but very crisp and not loose . Screw down crank for water resistance . Over all , very good watch .

Wow, where to start with this watch? First, it's an absolutely classic design as an homage to the Tudor Black Bay 58 which itself is an homage to the early Submariners. I had heard all of the glowing reviews for San Martin and purchased another model before this one, but the one I recieved looked like it was hit by a truck before it got to me. I wanted to give SM another shot and picked this model and I'm very glad that I did. Keep in mind, this is a sub $200 watch we're talking about, so everything I'm about to write should be qualified by the price point of the watch. Overall, this thing is punching well about its weight class. First, the case is a nice brushed stainless steel with a one piece screw on caseback, like an old school diver should have. It also wears very nicely on my 7" wrist. Definitely a nice all around size. This watch would be just as at home around the house as it would be out to a nice restaurant. Crystal seems to be decent quality as well, which I believe is sapphire, although it does have some reflectiveness. Slight dome to it as well. Second, the bracelet is realatively high quality. The clasp is actually machined, not stamped which I was pleasantly surprised to see. It features threaded link pins which I do appreciate. It does not have the tool-less micro adjustments like the last SA model I ordered, but it is of nice quality nonetheless. My plan with this watch was to put it on a James Bond nato strap, like a super budget version of the classic 007 Submariner. Only problem now is that this bracelet is so nice, I'm not sure I want to take it off anymore.Third, the movement is standard Seiko NH35 which means good durability and good accuracy. However, the NH35 is a movement with a date complication and this SA does not feature a date window. So there is a ghost position when you pull out the crown. Not a big deal. Movement does feature hacking and hand winding which is nice. The bezel feels pretty good. Nice tactile "clickiness". Not the best I felt, but it is good. Last, the lume on this thing is impressive. I have always held Seiko lume in very high regard, even when compared to some of my higher end watches. While this one may not be quite that good, it's not too far off either.Overall, if you are considering a Rolex/Tudor/classic diver homage piece in this price range from some of the Chinese producers, ie Steeldives, Pagani Designs, Berny, etc I would highly recommend this one, you will not regret it.If you are just looking for a decent dive watch for daily wear, I would say you are still better off with an Orient in the same price range.Overall, great purchase, very happy with the watch and looking forward to seeing how it holds up.

Great product keeps perfect time well worth the price over the $4500 Tudor. Looks good and runs good. I changed out the bracelet for Italian leather.

I’m impressed by the quality of this watch, it feels like a more expensive watch.Also the lume is supe bright on it.

Watch is water resistant, comfortable, a sapphire crystal and a seiko movement. Well worth the price.

Outstanding value especially for the current price. Solid, well finished, screws instead of push pins, no bezel backplay. Excellent communication with the seller as well

My second San Martin. Absolutely fantastic. Bracelet ended up being screw pins not pushpins. This was a nice surprise. Keeping great time, looks much more expensive than it is. Lume is incredible.
