San Martin SN0115-G-1 brown dial arrives at the AMCHPR
Model: SN0115-G-1
Movement: NH35 Automatic
Case diameter: 39.5 mm
Case Thickness: 13 mm

The bezel is on point, the bracelet is silky comfortable, and the only quality difference on this and the previous is this has a nicely printed logo, while the earlier has an applied logo.
I've heard some don't like the San Martin logo, but I do, either way.
Of course, time will tell but my initial impressions are Wow!! for value for dollar.
It's plain this has some reference to other watches in the world, but it's not at all a slavish copy, and I'm thrilled to have it.
Happy me.

Beautiful watch Ron! I have a couple of San Martins and they are both well put together and offer an awful lot for such an affordable price.
I like this direction of "inspired design" rather than direct copy. I'm slowly coming around on San Martin

Very appreciated.
That's a great looking watch.A great looking dail. It looks amazing for the money. I think the vintage style bracelet suits this watch.
That is surprisingly good! I’ve never seen a San Martin before, but it looks awesome. Maybe give one a try!

Very kind comment. Thank you!
San Martin is mainly known for good quality homage watches that are accurate in both respects: looks and timekeeping. And by good I mean scarily competitive with the major affordable labels. But I think their best works are their originals and respectful hat tips.
The quality is there. Did you see this one?

Thank you. Agreed about the bracelets. Neat thing? They have slide lock clasps so you can fine tune your fit 👍
I need myself a San Martin watch 😍 That's an absolute beauty! The applied logo would have been nicer and matched better with the applied indices 🤙🏽
That's a great looking watch! Now I need to check it out...
I have been very impressed by San Martin watches of late, and I am SWISS :)
No stock :-( seems to have been a limited drop. Great watch, OP
This is arguably their best watch. I have one in blue and imo the SM BOR bracelet puts Baltic's BOR bracelet to shame. honestly, my only complaint is the sterile case back. I would have loved an exhibition caseback or some sort of spec engraving but for the price, I'm more than willing to accept the simplicity.
Very cool looking watch, San Martin is on a roll again.
I wonder if people that work at certain watch manufacturers or watch boutiques get these watches in hand, really look them over and say , holy sh*t !!
