Positives: it is an extremely attractive watch. I love the vintage Explorer 1016 dial. The finishing, build quality and quality control are all excellent for an Ali Express watch. The crown is now signed with the same logo as the clasp. It came with a very high quality NATO strap for no additional charge. The box hat crystal is gorgeous. I got an excellent deal on it in the 11/11 sale and it costs a fraction of a percent of what a Rolex Explorer 1016 costs. It will keep me amused until my Rolex AD calls me to let me know my 124270 has arrived. to summarize my impressions: awesome watch, just buy one already! Actually buy 2, because I’m sure that Tiffany Blue is amazing in real life, too. So what do I think of San Martin watches? San Martin Watches are good, but not too much better than any other inexpensive dive watch or homage. In my opinion, I think that while San Martin watches attempt to be of a higher quality than other brands, they end up just being a more expensive version of something you can get for cheaper elsewhere. Obviously an advantage of the timegrapher is unambiguous and rapid positional measurements. It is quite another thing to judge what to do about them. i do not fancy myself a watchmaker and all i really know about positional errors is that, while beat error correction may help some of them (or not) practically any other steps delve into the obscure dark arts of balance wheel poising, staff/bearing correction, etc. That being said, we will be looking at these watches from a perspective of dive watches. The goal here, is to see if San Martin watches are equal to, or better than, similarly styled watches. We’ll start by looking at the build quality.

Kindly Note: Due to weather, customs or holidays, etc., delivery time may be slightly longer, please be patient. Conclusion: it is an extremely attractive Explorer 1016 homage, and better finished than any other Ali Express watch I own. However, I had higher expectations for it. I’ve always like the look of this vintage style dial, but the smaller size was just a bit too small for my taste. This San Martin SN020-G is a dream come true. 39mm case that is slim and contoured beautifully. Nice finish! The vintage lume applied to the dial give just enough vintage vibe, but not too much. The crystal looks better in hand than the pics can show. Over all a nice clean look that stands out but yet flies under the radar.
San Martin 39mm Explorer Men Watch SN020G2
This review will be focusing on San Martin watches. San Martin is a brand that many may not be familiar with. They are a Chinese watch brand. Their watches are comparable to brands such as Seiko, or Invicta.Sometimes they mix and match these materials. For example, some watches may have a combination of a bronze case with a stainless steel bezel or vice versa. The use of bronze and brass cases is different, because you don’t see that very often in these kinds of watches.
San Martin SN021G Explorer Homage Watch 36mm Vintage Sapphire
Like the aforementioned brands, San Martin watches are popular for their diver’s watches. They specialize in producing homages to watches such as the Rolex Submariner, Seiko 62 MAS, and more. The San Martin 62MAS uses automatic movement, and features an analog display. It’s dial window is made of ant reflective sapphire crystal. The case of this one is stainless steel, and the band is rubber. It has a ceramic bezel.The SM bracelet, although nice, does not hold up to the quality of the oyster bracelet on my Rolex Datejust 41 (clearly, there is a huge price difference). Rolex makes, in my opinion, the finest bracelets in the business. My Rolex bracelet is silky smooth, incredibly well made and extraordinarily comfortable. I can not say that about any other bracelet I've ever owned.
Great Deal
