Old friends

I bought this a couple years ago,  hardly ever wear it because it has a thick leather band. It’s my first bronze watch  but have  aquired another bronze diver since. The one in the photograph is a San Martin. From my personal experience I’d have to say that it’s one of the much better Chinese/asian brands. I own 3 or 4  and they’re all of very good  quality and impressive build quality and specifications too!   I’m trying to limit Asian made watches to my collection but keep coming across really nicely built ones.

The only saving grace to Chinese watches is the Japanese movement in them. They put the chinese movements together with little to no oil in them and lots of crap that shouldn't be there but shoddy workers make sure its present.

Beautiful!

Very cool.  Try throwing a sail cloth, nato, or different strap on the other one, could breathe new life into it.

The Chinese made brands like Sam Martin,Steeldive, Tactical Frog, etc. have greatly improved over the past 5 years. Surprisingly well made.
