Love this watch. Case, colors, handset, bracelet, case proportions, and 40mm size are all perfect for me. I could easily see getting both color variations. Thanks for the absolutely solid review, WR4K, I've just subscribed.
Thank you again for a great review. I have a 6.25 inch wrist so I’ve found the SN004G with the specs you mentioned. I’ll give it consideration. God bless!
Just received mine yesterday, black patina indices and hand absolutely stunning. You are correct it’s the best watch San Martin has made to date. This blows my Sn019 modern sub homage away in every aspect.
So I loved the blue version so much that I bought the black version with painted indexes. It's a wonder too! The painted dial and the colors makes it a closer version to a milsub, maybe an aluminium bezel insert would have been better. But that's a great, an amazing watch. Happy to have the 2 versions
This is a great offering by San Martin and Watchdives. The 006 case is perfection personified. This looks absolutely lovely! The blue dial, the sword hands, im a fan. The 90 click bezel is a shame, clear cost cutting measure, but it is what it is. Still a lovely watch! I would just wish, they would offer it in more colours, but the blue and the vintage one is a good start. I see this 006 superior to the 004 in every way, size, bezel design… Thanks for the review!
Great looking watch! Would like to see black version as well. Great review as always... San Martin has just updated their watch boxes and they are now using leather watch boxes... So it's officialy gonna be better quality than a Rolex watch box that is still made od plastic, lol... Anyway Happy New Year John and all the best 🎉🎉🥂
Again with the 90 click bezel. WTF are they thinking?! (Pardon my acronyms) Outside of that, it's a fantastic looking watch. I have the SN004 mil sub, and I love it - but, I wouldn't call it a strict "Vintage mil sub homage" because it has an enamel dial with applied indices, and lacks crown guards. But, it's a fantastic piece that Ive had several compliments on. I'm very interested in the black SN006 mil-sub because I feel it's a closer tribute to the 5517; it has the faux patina painted indices and hands- while still preserving the brighter minute marks on the bezel, with the exception of the faux patinaed pip. Additionally, it has crown guards. However, its mirror polished flanks may not suit its military design. Still, I'm on the edge of purchasing the SN006 black mil-sub version...I'm debating, but will most likely buy it. If I do so, I will use your discount code. Thank-you for that. I like the blue one you reviewed quite well too. But, I already have a SN004 blue model with Tudor style hands, and so I'm quite satisfied with it as it is, and not sure I can justify this one for my collection. Anyway, once again a fantastic review. You are the best (and most thorough) watch reviewer on you tube. Much appreciation and respect for what you do. Kind regards.
Thanks for the good review! I wonder if this is the same case as the SN008 without crown guards? Is the form of the lugs exactly the same of both cases?
What a shame I loved your detailed reviews and great camera work. Got the TC4 today, I think it is excellent. Are u still doing reviews on a different platform?
Informative review , thank you. Is there any discernible difference (apart from the obvious aesthetic differences) in quality to the recently released black and blue submariner (Mercedes hands no date )equivalents? Especially as you have reviewed the black variant - which would you take the sword hands version here or the black Mercedes hands version? Thanks
I’m very much late to the party , been trying to buy one of these with yellow hands. Discontinued I’m told😢 2nd hand market isn’t producing many either.
Watchdives also has VERY similar SN004 V2 Milsub in black with applied indices, blue lume and printed logo. In my opinion it looks even better and it is 20$ less.
There are not many milsub style on the market. How do they compare to the Ironwatch RX8004b? I understand about the difference in the movement options, I'm interested in case finishing.
Excellent review. You mentioned in a previous review that the 38mm San Martin milsub has a 1mm overhang, causing it to wear like a 39mm. Does this watch have a 1mm overhang causing it to wear like a 41? Thanks
@@watchreviews4k i like thinner bezel in SN004 milsub, but 38mm can be small for my 7.5" wrist. Here we have drilled lugs (classic feature) and guarded crown - which model do You advice ?
John you know I am your biggest fan. I've even defended you from these other idiots trolling you. But every san Martin or Pagani now you say this is the best they've ever made and you've said it for like a dozen or more watches. how could they all be the best watches that the company made. When you have said this is the best watch they have ever made or this is now a part of my Personal Collection I bought these watches because of your opinion. That's how much I trust your judgement. Only to find out the next watch you review is also the best watch they've ever made. Or you sold all those other watches you said were so great. As far as selling the watches I do get it because I have gotten watches that I thought I loved and then after a month or two I fell out of love. Again no disrespect because I have defended you against many of these dopes that have said things about you. Your biggest fan ray
My opinion changes Ray. For example I thought the SN004-G Milsub was the best, then San Martin released the SN006-G Milsub; which is better. Hence me stating both were the best, as at the time they were. The other factor is being a watch reviewer, my collecting is different to a regular watch collector. I have experienced over 300 watches in the last 2 years 11 months, and done 12 SOTC reviews in that time. Therefore I am trying new watches every week, and change the watches in my collection more frequently as a result. I was satisfied with my Black Bay 58; but just fancied a change; when I saw the Datejust 41 in the jewelers window; as detailed in my review. Regards, #WR4K
I think in the end you have to make your own mind up on the kind of watches you love. You've learned here that feel good factor is the ultimate aspect of enjoying a watch. So while the sn006-milsub is "best" here, I agree to disagree since I still prefer the black and white g2 version with the square printed indexes, S-crown and pt5000 movement :) Every time san martin output yet another variant, I'm often reminded that I've made the correct decision because I simply love the design combination of that specific watch over an applied maxi-dial that feels too modern or simply the movement downgrade. I was indeed going to get the sn004-milsub but ended up deciding against it since it felt too redundant to my sn006-g2... That's how you know you're wearing what you feel is best and overcome the "next review hype" cycles. :)
@watchreviews4k I get it. When you say this is the best watch of all time and then I get it I want that watch to always be the best of all time. LOL which I now no cannot happen cuz like you said you are getting a watch every week. You're doing a fabulous job. I have to tell you that of the few watches I have left I had a problem with all the pt5000 movements. I'm glad you're letting everybody else know about that because they are not good. The nh35 I have not had any problems with any of the watches. Yes I would rather have the high beat movement of the pt5000 but not if it's not going to work correctly or the crown doesn't go incorrectly. Your Fanboy Ray USA
I was lucky to get a 120 clicks bezel on the SN400 v2 Milsub from Watchdives. But the website now says 90 clicks which is a shame because the price increased by 10$.
@@watchreviews4kwhy would you pick that instead of this milsub? Very small wrist here as well and I can't make a decision .. there are three models very similar one to each other
Please hear me San Martin. Anti AR coating on both sides of the crystal. Of every watch you give us, Pagani Design included. Lume, apply better more vibrant lume to every model across all offerings. AR on expensive and please lume the inexpensive.
Why 90 clicks? The 120 clicks bezel from SM is excellent. Maybe the purpose is to save some money. I think SM will end up losing quite of bit of business because of it.
oh San Martin ....... the logo the logo, that ugly ugly logo! Why oh WHY could'nt SM produce a military style neat printed logo on a milsub watch! That damn funky HEX just ruins it! Can tell they hired some design company to try make them something " trendy". So very terrible in size, design, and color!
