I ordered one of these a few days ago and your review reinforces my decision. Thank you for taking the time tomake this review and for sharing some of the not so obvious features of the sn019. (crystal removal and ceramic vs steel bezel ball bearings). Great job! So now, a few months later, I have had my SN019G and must say it is one of my favorite watches. As your video describes, it is well made and additionally it is relatively accurate. I really like it!
The SN019G looks great. However, San Martin seem to forget they are still an AliExpress homage brand it's hitting the $400 mark, which is a bit steep, thx for the video.
Great review. The SM SN019-G certainly is a great looking homage. Its a bit heavy on the $$ for me but I understand the pricing given the apparent build quality. Thanks for putting this video together. Outstanding job! Bravo!
Considering the quality it is not expensive at all... Steinhart is more expensive but it has swiss made at the dial and nobuy complains about the price. I have 2 san martins and 2 Steinharts and san martin is a better watch
Has they changed the clasp now to the regular line up with the click buttons on this instead of the one featured in this video (glidelock clasp /double safety like Rolex)? Great video
Yep, I didn't know that but it looks like they have changed to the "original design" of them, with buttons... Kind of a shame, since this clasp here is just great.
They changed the clasp in the meantime. I have still the one with the glidelock. It does not work exactly and opens by its own. I think therefor they changed it. I wrote to San Martin and I get a new glasp. The idea of the glidelock is brillant but it was not well done. The watch itself is super. I had the 017 before and sold it after one week because all edges were very sharp.
Yeah I saw some people complaining about that, but mine stay in place normally. I even tried to force it to see if it slides, but it stays firmly in place.
@@MyHommageWatchCollection Some stores (like WRwatches) don't show the glidelock style clasp on their product pictures, I don't know if SM is not longer using it or they show other style clasp to avoid patent infringement issues. Where did you buy yours?
Thank you for the great review ! I think the only issues for me with the SN019 are the cyclops alignment and blue AR, and that date font (micro issue but I can’t get over how it doesn’t look right) ! These are stopping me for getting one, I really hope that they will make a V2 fixing these issues. Otherwise great watch, miles better than the Squale and Steinhart sub homages.
Yes, pretty much like the 41mm Sub. Actually it have the exact same dimensions of the 41mm Sub, like the SN017 have for the 40mm, so even thou it's 1mm larger, the slimmer lugs make it feel of the same size.
The sn019-g with Swiss SW200 and the new clasp are much more exclusive and play in a completely different league. The glide-lock clasp from before was a self opening crap and was the only thing what felt very cheap! For the Swiss SW200 version you pay 100$ more, but if you sell it you will get 250$ more back.
Opinions are like a-holes - everyone has one. Thing is for every criticism you have of the other versions of this brand's Sub homages there's a TH-cam video with a contrary opinion. This isn't a criticism of you, it's more an observation. One channel said the very best version of this homage is the 017v2, then another said the v2 is crap compared to the 017v3.1 and absolutely every single iteration possible of all 017's through to the 019's. This leaves the viewer [me] feeling somewhat flaccid. One has no idea what to buy so one doesn't buy anything.
I have got an original Rolex Submariner Date and a San Martin SN019, SW200 with the new not glide-lock clasp. This to watches are the best of the world for me. Only the self opening glide-lock clasp is a crap.
There is a new no date one that just came out . It is a little smaller . I think it will be better then this one . Keep up the good work . Thanks. . Sorry . I see you do know about the new one . My bad . Lol

Thanks so much for your professional review . You definitely know what you are talking about.
I have the blue gradient dial Ghost and and obsessed with it, lovely piece.
Hello, what would you recommend, the San Martin, Cronos l6005 submariner, or Sugess Ocean Star? Thanks
The SN019G looks great. However, San Martin seem to forget they are still an AliExpress homage brand it's hitting the $400 mark, which is a bit steep, thx for the video.
To bad the glidelock bracelet is not offered any longer. Great vid. This homage looks amazing 🤩
Good job mate !! Tks for the subjective opinion and comparisons , it really helps !! I have the V3 , and now i am tempted to go for this .....
what a great review, thanks! ordered one during the Ali sale.
I can't decide between this ands the cronos l6005, any help?

Great review! I know now which sub homage I will buy.
I bought one but the glide lock kept loosening on it's own. Sold it for what I paid and kept my sn017
Muito bom, amigo! Tô vendo todas suas reviews!
Review the Cronos l6005!
Where can I buy this watch? Looks great
You can find it on Aliexpress
faut avouer c'est une merveille de la classe d une rolex originale

Was it the V3 017?
@@Arman-nl6mg it was the 019
Does your glidelock stay in place? I've seen some reviews that say it slides to the last cog and won't stay seated.

I'm about to get this watch but with the mother of pearl dial
Great video. Very informative
Now if they could engrave the rehaut, they could just write "san martin san martin..." all around it.
That would be nice, for sure!
Great watch , I love mine
Are the lugs slimmer than sn017 ?
Yes, pretty much like the 41mm Sub. Actually it have the exact same dimensions of the 41mm Sub, like the SN017 have for the 40mm, so even thou it's 1mm larger, the slimmer lugs make it feel of the same size.
@@MyHommageWatchCollection wow thanks. I guess you also have the 41mm sub, so you compared it ?

You need to check out Ginault ocean Rover 2 that is the best homage on the market
not worth the price when compared to the San Martin
