Just found a very decently priced one in Japan. I will wait to see what the customs duties are at import before saying if it was worth it or not 😄
I bought the casioak rainbow on black, it is pretty overpriced for what it offers. Otherwise it looks very cool.
I got this San Martin for ~200$ when it was on sale on aliexpress.
So, for 200$ you get:
- solid NH35 workhorse movement
- sapphire boxed crystal - with AR coating
- ceramic bezel insert - 120 clicks, very smooth, precise action
- solid comfortable bracelet, no sharp edges, very well finished
- solid endlinks, solid links, milled clasp, double security pusher
- very nice case finishing all around
- very good QC, bezel lines up perfectly with the dial, no scratches out of the box, no bumps or production issues
They even added the female endlinks for 0$ when I requested them to do so.
I know it’s a 6538 glorified copy, but not everyone and their mother has a couple kidneys to trade for the kind of cash you need to pay for a 6538, let alone one in an acceptable enough condition as to not be a museum piece already.
All things considered, I don’t know how many big brand names can pull off a watch like this for 200$
I would really like a traditionelle world time. This is my grail watch as of now, hope someday I can afford it. If you can afford it, this would be my suggestion.
