The New San Martin is here, inspired by the Seiko 1968 Diver, an absolute legend! Have they done it justice? In short, yes. However they still need a fair bit of improvement and refinement.

Nice watch and pretty good value, but I purchased the Proxima with green dial and gold bezel markings, and it's a belter. Enjoyed your review, as ever.

Another great review! Once again you managed to point out things others didn't, and I really appreciate it. I think you're right in that it would be a winner on a strap. It would be nice of SM would offer that as an option to save few dollars and save the hassle of sourcing a 19mm strap.

Yeah the strap is quite bespoke, i think uncle seiko do a strap to fit

Great review as always. I bought this one in the last sale and I really like it. None of those issues bother me and as far as sizing the bracelet it’s very easy the pins come out in any direction and the collars are long and fit in the center of the link, they are not those small ones that are difficult to work with. Very nice watch.

Very cool review. I'm waiting for mine to arrive. It has a customized dial and that's why it's late. Having few Seikos, I got used to the sharp edge that you can feel between lugs and end links. The SM uses smaller tolerances than Seiko, and that's a plus. I think this watch is going after the SLA025 from 2018 and it does a great job at it. It's so great, it comes with a bracelet, something Seiko never bothered to do, ha

Great video, the MM300 was the watch that got me into homarge watches (3 faulty or missaligned returned) I picked up the Steeldive version with the idea of moding it but changed my mind as back then Seiko left a bad taste in my mouth. My MM300 has been a work horse and looking at this I suspect that its clearly a version 1 watch, mistake have been made that will be sorted in the next version.

I wish they would release this in 37mm, undercutting Seiko and their almost exclusively oversized selection. The fact that most Seiko dive watches will only fit 7.5+ inch wrists properly is exactly why I believe San Martin, Sugess, Rdunae and the like should release more midsize watches. Just look at Tandorio and their 37mm quartz SKX. Meanwhile, Seiko has just released 38mm 5 Sport models which are inferior in nearly every metric including unisex adaptability. 38.5mm isn't nearly what I'd call midsize, especially after seeing Tudor go 37mm now and Omega discontinuing their 36mm Seamaster, which at 300m of WR proves there's no reason why popular models are forced to be 42+mm and virtually unwearable for people with wrists of 6.5 inches and under.

Price wise? Well the OG is around 2.5k and the proxima is very well built and close in dimensions. Ofcourse none really come up to the OG.

Another great review! Love the 4 o’clock stem location. I did, by the way, get the Boderry back from China…never made it out of customs. They still offered to repair it but it’s $80.00 to ship it. Not sure if it’s worth it do do that again. Keep up the great content.

@dunderhay9169 Год назад
A very thorough review 👍. One other thing that worries me is that very large flat case back may cause sweating in summer use. I have a Citizen with a similar flat back and there is no air circulation in use making it a lot hotter to wear than other similar sized watches with protruding case back.

Appreciate you covering all the aspects, good and bad. I do like this one, it probably will fit better on my bigger wrist. As you said I'd also love to see a logo etched on the caseback. A rubber strap will look good on it. I was just thinking I'd love to see a GMT version of this with a 24 hour bi directional bezel on a leather strap, it could be a real beauty. Thanks again for the review!

The sides, bezel thickness-nuzzling and width, and sapphire size are copied from a MM2000. Not from the MM300. This execution is perfect for me bracelet width and vintage lume. I regret your endless complaining. I.e. Have you ever noticed Rolex Sub has overhanging lugs at the endlink as well?
@TheWatcherReviews
@TheWatcherReviews Год назад
I regret that you regret my endless complaining. We can't always give wayches glorious reviews while issues like the ones pointed out exist Cedar. The lugs sticking out are not turned down like the submariner but stick outwards. It needed to be pointed out!

Nicely done. I too am disappointed with this one. If it was more like the Seiko 1968 limited edition: 42mm, had 20mm lugs & didn't have faux patina it would have had much greater appeal. Hopefully SM do an update.

I own two SM and I think that they are overrated to be honest. I'm looking for a MM homage and the Proxima is the best in My opinion. One of My SMs had a gash in the back and I found the customer service to be non existent - Proxima is excellent customer service also
@TheWatcherReviews
@TheWatcherReviews Год назад
I agree with your comment, they are slightly over rated and thats down to reviewers. Special regard to the mm300, Proxima has the best sbdx version.

I don't get why people keep thinking that recessed end links in cheaper watches are "unfinished". Many luxury brands do that, yet no one complains about them. I love seeing brands incorporating this style of end links in cheap watches - they definitely elevate the look and make the piece look more expensive than it is. It's almost like they give you a good looking and finished watch for a steal and then the "reviewers" are like nah, make it feel cheaper 🤦🏻
@TheWatcherReviews
@TheWatcherReviews Год назад
There's a difference in recessed end links made properly to the point where they don't affect the watch. As a reviewer and watch owner/collector. The lugs on this do not fit or feel right, they stick outwards. A submariner and lugs which turn downwards, negating any impact of the points. These lugs stick out a bit, you can see from the video it gives the case a fanged look.
@yashinisuki
@yashinisuki Год назад
@@TheWatcherReviews I get what you are saying, I actually own a SN006 which has even more pronounced and sharp ends of lugs, but here's the thing - for the first few months of daily wearing the watch I have not even noticed that since they are facing your wrist and not gonna scratch you or do any damage to your clothes. You have mentioned that you are surprised that no one at San Martin has picked this up. Personally I think that this was a design choice and it does make the case look more refined and well finished. I get that different people have different opinions and clearly you do not like it and that is okay. However, in my opinion, as someone who calls himself a reviewer, maybe you should have said that you do not like the design direction they went with instead of talking about it like it is a flaw, which is clearly not. They have incorporated the same type of sharp, pointy lugs in other models and as a reviewer/collector/etc. who have handled many of their watches you definitely came across that before. Hope that clarifies my previous comment.
@TheWatcherReviews
@TheWatcherReviews Год назад
It clarifies it a little bit. i still disagree, dude. I've looked at plenty of watches, and i hold my opinion. Lugs should not protrude to that point where you can actually feel them sticking out. Its an oversight in design due to them trying to offer recessed lugs. It doesn't make sense to me in this situation, my guy. You don't find this from a lot of mainstream brands. If someone doesn't mind it, that's a different thing, isn't it.
