Love that, and you captured it beautifully. The colors really set off the crispness of the black and white.
Thank you. Agreed about the bracelets. Neat thing? They have slide lock clasps so you can fine tune your fit 👍

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?
