Keep your eyes out for more of the blue BB58 LE. I have both a rivet and o-style bracelet, making for either the true BB58 or Tudor sub look. I absolutely love this watch and can only recommend it. They seem to keep restocking…
I’ve had one since March of 2022 and love it. I like it now even more than when I first got it. Good size, excellent finishing and a very high quality feel. I recommend anyone who is looking for an excellent BB58 homage.
Had mine for a while now and absolutely love it. I'd previously purchased the Pagani Design BB58 but was disappointed with the overall size and the Miyota movement. The San Martin is just the perfect size for me, ive swapped out the bracelet for a rubber strap which has further improved the looks. Great video, and I completely agree with all your points. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking about buying this watch.
@@apollomoonlandings Less than +1s/d when it's worn and +2.2s/d on a winder. Average out to +2s/d for about two weeks. I got really lucky. I wouldn't trade it with anything else out there. :D But then again, my SN-008G BB58 Black one(PT5000) is running +1s/d average for one month now. The watch making in it's finest and truly amazing pieces from San Martin.
recently received the SN0109 and I'm so happy with the look and feel of it - I am super tempted to get another san martin and this is currently a front runner but I also need to practice some restraint as I don't really have several hundred quid to drop on a watch every 5 minutes, ha ha. Just one more, perhaps! Thanks for another great review, mate
@@EscapeWheel Thanks man - I will check that out. Would you say it's better value? I dont mind spending a bit more to get the best value. Also, have you thought about reviewing the Hruodland F019? I bought the G004 on your recommendation and it really is a lovely watch, regardless of the modest price tag! Strap is lovely too. The F019 is another chronograph but looks a bit more sporty and price tag is around the same point as the G004. Anyway, thanks again
Its a fantastic offering from San Martin, they continue to impress with their quality. Don't need another diver, but if I had an opening in the collection, this would be a serious contender for that spot. Nicely done review as well.
Thanks Steve for another great review,just got the new batch one Hex crown can’t believe how accurate this watch is San Martin must be regulating them ,my only complaint and it’s not just San Martin is the gap on the ends of the clasp surely most manufacturers could solve this,that said its a great watch for the price.
I bought this last week and it has already arrived, not even a week later! Picked it up for about 170 quid which is a steal imo - think I even prefer it to the SN0109 which is awesome too, but quite a bit more pricey. Can we say that San Martin offers the best value for money out of any watch brand going?
They have great shipping times! I think brands like Pagani, tandorio, bliger are the value kings. Same specs as the San Martin, at less than half the price. They are usable watches which is incredible....but it's the details and execution and finishing that puts San Martin at the top. Swiss level fit and finish, great lume,AR coated crystals, solid bracelets and clasps etc.
I bought one a couple of years ago with the Selita SW200 - probably not worth it, just go for the Chinese movement. It's a great looking watch, lovely ceramic bezel. My only gripe is that the bezel movement is quite light and gets knocked by my shirt cuff and constantly shows 2mins to the left of centre...otherwise it's good. A few sharp edges on the case as well. 6/10
Really a very good and refined watch. When version 1 was released I was already thinking that this could also work as a BB homage. I like the hexagon logo most when it's printed which now recently can be see more often. For ne the only negative is that the whole thing is a little too shiny. Most people will be happier with the non-riveted bracelet as not everyone will have the necessary skills to resize the bracelet using the faux rivet screws!
Thanks for the great review! I bought mine as soon as I saw it (two months or so ago). I wanted to make sure I got it before they 'sold out', since it is a "Limited Edition"... evidently, it is only limited as to how many of them San Martin can sell 🤣. The only thing I would change would be the crystal due to the amount of distortion (as you noted). Also, I would like to make a request to San Martin... drill 2 more micro-adjustment holes in your excellent 4-hole clasp in order to actually cover the distance between the pins in a single link. That way, owners will be able to get an exact fit if desired. That is my ONLY real complaint with my 4 San Martin watches. Of course, it would be even better if they were to design a clasp with on-the-fly adjustment (ALA the 'Big R", which I know you cannot even mention). Are you listening SM?
(edit: I ordered one for black Friday)I'm tempted. I have the blue 40mm pt5000 version. I could swap the rivet bracelet between these and get the slightly updated version. The blue one doesn't really need rivets. It's a more modern looking watch. I really wish this had a matte ceramic bezel, to more fully capture the vintage aesthetic. That might make my decision a little easier.... If it did. Another couple hundred on watches seems like a bit of an indulgence right now.
I love this watch and have both the black dial and blue... Personally in my opinion, probably as good a watch made for this kind of money... This watch, if swiss made, would be 1K all day long with a Sellitta or ETA movement, or more! ... I have no problem with the NH35 because it is a solid workhouse that keeps great time and easily regulated...I paid a grand total of $394.00 for both watches during a sale.... Unbelievable value for such quality...!
I wish they'd start putting more aluminium bezels on their vintage divers. That high gloss ceramic doesn't really fit the theme here, IMO. I just ordered their BB Pepsi GMT homage and one of the reasons why I bought that thing is its aluminium bezel insert.
I have no idea how it happened, but I received the blue version in the mail and I NEVER ordered it! Turns out, it is one of my favorite watches in my 89 watch collection! I have purchased two more SMs since. LOL
Thanks for the video, I’ve been dragging my feet on adding this model and this “v4” version hits the spot. I’ve emailed them for more details and let them know I saw it on your channel.
I've had one of these rivet bracelets. Hell to resize. Apparently that's why they're phazing them out. Apparently the newer version has clear reflective coating.... The hex logo on the crown..... And an easy bracelet to resize. Just don't get the rivets. I wish they'd do a matte ceramic bezel insert option. It would really suit these watches with a more vintage aesthetic.
I actually requested the rivet bracelet. I have a non-rivet I could swap on if I wanted. I like it visually, but a definite pain to resize. Thankfully it a one and done thing. I saw the hex crown but missed the clear AR. That's a nice bonus. Wish they did a top hat though, single AR is not my thing. I begged Watchdives to do a matter insert, but they said it was too late, I agree, it would have been awesome.
@@EscapeWheel it's only cost on a couple of reviews. So I think there variants in different runs. I don't really expect I'll be that lucky.... But here's hoping. I have a rivet bracelet that was almost impossible to resize from my older V2 blue variant. Pretty sure I can swap endlinks interchangeably to the two bracelets..... The rivets suits the black and gold better..... The blue one is more modern looking. I found an additional 30 diary black Friday AliExpress coupon. So I'm getting the black/gilt loved edition for just over a hundred and sixty dollars. That's pretty awesome pricing. That's what made me pull the trigger. That and also I really had wanted a black and gilt one all along..... But the version two black and gold had more problems
@@EscapeWheel I really do wish they had used a matte ceramic bezel insert on this colorway though..... To complete the vintage aesthetic. Their finishing is just do good.
Great review. Ordered mine on the last Aliexpress sale $180. Just arrived yesterday. Easily the nicest Sam Martin I've experienced. Still not understanding why San Martin doesn't sell it.
It's especially bad on this watch just sure to the crystal. But I keep messing with the lighting to see if I can reduce glare, but then I lose so much detail in the shots. Wish I could get a couple big lamps in either side, but I just don't have the space
Yup! I've got that baltany Chrono coming in but that's it from the lot. Waiting for the SM explorer II Tudor pro lovechild Gary (I like watches) teased on his Instagram the other day
I have this one coming in the mail. Looking forward to this one. I got it in a deal for $190 in the last sale. Vintage look. First PT5000 for me. I'll be interested to see how it works.
This watch doesn't come with a PT5000, only an NH35. The watch that looks similar to this one (with some differences) that does have a PT5000 usually runs on sale for around $300. This is an amazing watch at the price point. Ordered the Blue the day it was released, and am thinking about picking this black and gilt one up as well.
I just got home from a two week prospecting trip and the blue version of this watch was waiting in the post box. I went for the rivet link as I think it looks great. When they say “limited edition” what does that mean? Are they only producing a certain number and that’s it, or is it for sale for a limited time until they stop production? Or is my watch an un numbered watch of a unknown quantity. It would be good to pose this question to San Martin. Not that it changes anything, I still love it.
This is a watchdives exclusive. So they determine how many of each color. It was only supposed to be 100 but I feel like they new last that number a while ago
Did San Martin recently update the bezel to 90 clicks on the limited edition SN004? You mentioned that your watch on the video is a 120 click bezel but the website in the link reads 90 click bezel.
That seems to be the case, yes. An odd choice since the bezel was perfect. I e talked to a few people with the updated case and they say it's a non issue and the bezel is still excellent. A weird choice, though 🤷
I don't mind the single domed crystal on kind of a retro styled watch.... The blue antireflective coating though... On a black watch. That's annoying....
Is the Tutor Blackbay also a 45 mm lug to lug? I thought it was more like 47 or 48? Anyway the San Martin is freaking perfect I wouldn’t mind one especially for 7 inch wrists I have. Also no idea what kind of tool you need to remove that back cover, I like to regulate my movements
How do you feel this lines up with the SN008? I have their v1, but am wondering if this is significantly better than that watch, enough to justify a double dip in BB58 homages?
One thing I don't understand is that lume... I got mine month ago and it has the best lume I've ever seen on a watch. It beats my sn919g... glows like crazy. Can it be they uodated that lume? I don't know but its defenitely stronger than on this one
