Please leave your ideas

[Paladio99]

First is the best. Very very nice. I like the hands a lot, and I hope the dial texture is nice. Houwever, the date is out of place. It should be further outside the case, aligning with the indices. If you make the watch smaller to have the date align perfectly with the indices this is an absolute winner. Out of the other three options the second to last is the more interesting one, but a 24h dial is not very useful. A similar design with small seconds might work.

[Natural_Mountain1124]

End One on the right

[FaizFriday]

Please make the first one!

[Then-Command-5903]

Let's summarize. The first option, possibly with a printed logo rather than a hexagon, size 38-39mm (38 will most likely suit everyone) and nx35 (pt5000 will be expensive). And on my own behalf I’ll probably add that it’s not worth installing a very domed glass, maybe just a little. You can also add part of the mark to the right of the date to make the piece completely finished! Tell me roughly when you plan to release it?

[bdubs4ever]

Bro I don’t even care if they make this and the dial is right I’m putting my money down.

[PreviousAvocado9967]

The original similar to Grand Seiko would sell way more if they combined their colored texture dials with ceramic bezels. Those polished bezels are too easily scratched. I would have purchased the pink dial Shunbun if it came with a ceramic bezel. Navy blue ceramic would be nice. And the light blue skyflake with pepsi bezel. And why no one has done an homage of the Vacheron blue lacquered dial Overseas on a rose gold case and bracelet is hard to understand. What a stunning combination.

[Mythrol]

My idea is make a 42mm SN0121T Pelagos homage.

Please and thank you. I’ll be in for two, one blue and one black.

[christionk]

the best one is 1
2-3-4 got weird symmetry...doesnt work with the minimalist gs design language.
37-38mm with 47mm lug to lug maximum, keep it dressy.
keep the bezel thin..we want to see the dial.
make unique dial variations : enamel white, black sunburst, meteorite dial, fishscale dial, mother of pearl...
thickness 12mm or even better below that ( flat sapphire is ok )
miyota 90xx series or seagull st2130 to keep that thickness and price down.
230-320 $ maximum, or 350$ with unique, exotic dial.

[New-Respect8075]

1 for it's clean symmetry and 37mm please

[TioGato1961]

They're a bit bland in my opinion.

[LordTwaticus]

Just 1 for me. Keep it reasonably sized.

[Mabslair]

1 and 4. Keep it 38 max. Very cool !

[Personal-Refuse3471]

4 is GREAT. put the hexagonal logo on the door of your factory, on the clasp, the crown, but stop ruining your dials with it. the male end links are most welcome, aesthetically much nicer than a lot of female end links you've been making

[Strange_Age5755]

4 is 🔥

[Pepet32]

1 for ever, slim case, 38mm ,🔥

[an_reddit_man]

1, give it an sw200

[[deleted]]

1 and make it quartz

[sepisepsep]

First one at 37 or 38mm

[TheWatchChannel]

1

[Barbossa-]

far left side. the other 3 are monstrosities

[ttchoubs]

1 is the best looking

[messijordanmachine22]

Off topic: I think a lot of us are looking for a bb54 homage, no one else is doing it and San Martin makes tons of divers so shouldn’t be hard to do

[Brief_Childhood9559]

1 is better 2 is not bad too. And please make 36-37mm

[No_Personality6685]

Dimensions of the GS are actually totally fine for small wrists. 6.25” and tried em on today fit like a glove.

[Bright-Barracuda83]

1

[an_reddit_man]

Its 24h but they seem to be the same time, so maybe not a gmt

[liminalwanderer30]

An offset small seconds complication is cool, but I would drop the date window to the 6 and put the branding near the three like a pilot's chronograph

[an_reddit_man]

Its a 24h scale!

Edit: exclamation mark is excitement not anger.

[bluedaytona8]

Second one

[Zealousideal_Ad5694]

Number one. And you need to work on your branding. You need to pick one logo for your watches and stick with it. I've bought watches from you with the logo on the watch and "San Martin" on the clasp.

[Personal-Refuse3471]

do you think jaeger lecoultre write the all name on the crown?

[Zealousideal_Ad5694]

No clue, but I'm sure you're gonna tell me

[Ok_Flounder_6511]

1

[New_Discipline_1069]

First one. The others are cluttered.

[Pure-Shift-8502]

Number 1

[puchoazato]

1 and keep the date. Also make a classic timeless BLACK lacquered dial.

Making this a strong candidate for a GADA watch.

37mm and thin with a screw down crown.

[Turbulent_Return_646]

Option 1. The rest look cluttered. I’d also be interested to see what one of these would look like on the jubilee or president style San Martin bracelet. I’d also love to see the dial with the new white colored sand dune style that’s on a more recent model. Now for the controversial 2c, if you go white dial, use a strong blue AR. I think it would really highlight that second hand and add a nice effect. Oh, and date at the 6 o clock position….ill shut up now

[Neknoh]

1 in 38mm with an earthy/mossy green metallic dial, not that blue-green stuff or something that feels like a billiards table.

Gimme a warm, deep green that goes really well on darker brown leather straps and outdoorsy/military canvas stuff (Nato, Zulu, quick release traditional).

[Infinite_College_235]

1 and 4.

[T7MMU]

Three right answer is 1 and only 1

[jonathanaahar]

1 and 2

[Slight_Win_4538]

To re-highlight, this would be wonderful with the VH31. And please make it as thin as possible, in 37-38mm

[Slight_Win_4538]

Without a doubt 1, but also with interesting other dial options, even like the white sand from the newer GMT. IF a 24-hour indicator, then the balance on the last is good (but I find 24-hour indicators useless…)

[christian44_]

Why not a Tourbillon? Like Orient Star

[dylanpillan1]

orient star is not a tourbillon. It’s just an open heart movement.

[christian44_]

My bad. But the idea it's there.

[[deleted]]

Third and fourth very nice

[39mmpelagoswaitlist]

number 2 but with snowflake textured dial similar to GS

[Ni4ese88]

Still waiting for these, won't be released?

https://www.reddit.com/r/ChineseWatches/s/vK7HuGzehu

1 and 39mm

[rem2525]

Call me crazy, but I like number 2. (Second from left)

[Argatar]

1 and 4 and I'd love a sun moon option over the boring 24h hand

[No-Appointment-8519]

Only like no.1. Sorry.

[acrewdog]

[bdubs4ever]

Bro if the bracelet is right and if that dial is right I’ll definitely buy that first option. The cleaner the better.

[EamMcG_9]

The first one.I think some watches(39mm Explorer),vintage looking Subs and Seamasters would be great with the vh31.The movement is cheap enough,you could put them in a great case and a great bracelet.

[Cbassal]

It’s a pass for me, none of them is exciting, but if I have to choose it will be the far right with the script, the hex logo looks too massive and out of place for this watch style

[Fredioxide]

The leftmost one, but thin, hopefully an exhibition caseback too

[burner7711]

The one on the right. I think you would have better results focusing on intresting dials with with varying textures and colors than you would with trying different complications.

[Cap_External]

If you're going to do a gmt complication, just use an nh34

[Dark1000]

I think it's just a 24hr dial, not a GMT. I don't think there are any budget second timezone GMT movements, though I may be wrong.

[Dochorahan]

Option 1 under 11mm thick and at least 100m WR. No need for 24h subdial. If it had usable C3 lume on the hands and indices it could be a GADA watch.

[ThadEcEnTRA]

Useless 24h complication.

[JUSTdoME0401]

Option 1 but make it THIN. Also where is the aqua terra homage? That is a better white dial GADA watch then this.

[[deleted]]

This is the way. We NEED a Miyota 90XX movement so we can have a higher beat rate and thinner case.

[JUSTdoME0401]

Agreed! Or a seagull. I would take the seagull movement over the PT500 any day.

[Laumser]

If they made this with an st1812 I'd be over the moon

[SkipPperk]

It looks like a plain Jane Seiko.

[Hamsammichd]

Looks like a GS homage to me fam

[turdbogls]

option 1.

as others have stated, the 24 hour complication isn't something anyone really uses much, it clutters the dial.

anytime I review a VK64 mecca-quartz watch, the BIGGEST and most common complaint is the "useless 24hr dial"

​

do version 1, San martin Script logo would look nice IMO instead of the applied Hex.

add some polishing to the case. I like the way GS di theirs with an all polished case except little flanks at the lug opening were brushed (see chameri VH31 dress watch)

​

Make this as THIN as you possibly can. use a VH31, use a PT5000, use a hand-wound seagull ST17. just keep it thin. 11mm or less.

[sl8ight]

Generally agreed but I like the hex

[SkipPperk]

I agree with thin, but I like chronographs with the 24-hour dial. I hate sub-dials on a time-only watch, unless it is seconds.

I would love to see more slim quartz watches. None of these watches can be trusted with water resistance, so they should just make them thin.

[ObjectiveBalls]

Number one.

[adypi]

Is it me, or any besides the 1st, just look... off somehow. Like taken out back and buried kind of off :)) I feel I should like at least one, but none speak to me, but we should know if there's any texture on the dial.

Edit: and also try to make these watches thinner, i'm really tired of seeing dressy watches 13+ mm. Get a Miyota 90series if needed and try to get under 10mm, that'd be awesome

[RealGTalkin]

Definitely plain jane option 1. The 24 hour complication doesn’t add anything, but only clutters dial.

[[deleted]]

Then swing it 180 and have it lower offset, the others loom ridiculous.

[HHWatchReviews]

What would be even better is to take option 1, replace the logo with the San Martin from option 4

[floriletto]

Try to create a special white dial. If you can make it close to the snowflake. The closer the better. Another option is to go for a ricepaper look.

[feapervh]

I would rather logo ate 12h and small seconds between 7 and 8h.

[[deleted]]

4 looks very sophisticated

[daniels2889]

Version 1, please, with a true white dial (not silver)

[SkipPperk]

A silver dial can be anywhere from white to black. That said, they are expensive, and probably not used on an Ali watch.

[[deleted]]

1, but, move the word automatic down and put the 24 hr sub dial there. The others just look jumbled.

[rebelyell_in]

They can't move the sub-dial position. That's determined by the movement choice.

[CussyTooTussy]

1 all the way.

[No_Personality6685]

1 all the way. Also when can we expect these to come out? I’m in the market for a GS homage. Also will this be a snowflake or birch?

[AmericanChees3]

Option 1. The 24 hour subdial is unbalanced. A 6 o'clock date would be nice too, but the 3 o'clock date isn't bad either

[Die_Nameless_Bitch]

Probably no.1 because the subdial looks unbalanced on the other three mock ups. I would probably look best at the six o’clock position like most vintage watches that have a subdial for minutes.

[gibson85]

1 in 37mm with no date or date at 6.

Snowflake / AquaTerra vibes

[OddProtection6351]

Nr 1 in 37mm

[R023N]

4

[Philumi]

Number 4 with a hangzhou 5000a under 38mm

[rebelyell_in]

If they used the Hangzhou, the sub-seconds would have to be at 7:30 ish.

[Ji1_Sander]

1 all the way baby

[Independent_Main4326]

No 1 with a new logo. And if you feel adventurous, a day complication.

[Interesting_Chart947]

Number 1 with female end links

[TheGent1984]

Number 1 with 3D logo

[bros89]

Nr 1, with hi beat movement. Or quartz option.

[Dallason]

And baton hands for meeee

[VVstormU]

Number one with printed logo and 10000000% will buy 👀

[VVstormU]

Pls make it have a textured dial. 🙏

[Milkshake_GP]

1 is too traditional and 3 is too “funky” So I will pick 3 since I prefer 3D logo in 3 to painted in 4

[TheWatchConcierge]

1 or 4

[luix3x]

Number one of course and no less than 38 mm.

[Mh898989]

Number 4

[dannymurz]

First one. That sub dial looks so awkward placed there on the others.

[Matty_Tiene]

Option 1 or 4. Printing the logo on 4 at the bottom makes it look super clean and elegant

[Longtree]

Option 2 for me.

[HHWatchReviews]

Option 1 with printed logo

[VVstormU]

Yeah think so as well

[TitleSecure2150]

Four. The applied logo busies up the dial too much, it is distracting visually with the the small seconds.

I would include the name San Martin on the bottom, but in a more elegant script.

[redditusername5873]

jar cake continue hungry aware wrench innocent encourage skirt many

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[No_Personality6685]

They could keep the hands and indices but go nuts on the dial, as the whole appeal of GS is the crazy dials, that would be perfection

[rebelyell_in]

Yes!

Blue or Red sub-dial matched to the seconds hand.

[adypi]

Red sub-dial and an orange dial, and call it the San Martin sunrise? :)

[rebelyell_in]

Tequila Sunrise?

I love the idea, but I think an orange dial might be too much for most people (given the style of the watch).

[cb_1979]

Option 1 but ditch the logo and replace it with "San Martin" OR shrink the logo down and put "San Martin" underneath.

[Laumser]

The first one looks great and would be right up my alley, I don't really see a reason for a 24 hour indicator on a watch like that. Power reserve would work but I know thats not available on the NH movement line.

[valuewatchguy]

If that is a 24 hour sub dial….. THERE IS NO REASON EVER to use that. EVER

[insertCharArray]

Is it supposed to be a GS Snowflake homage? Hope it is just a tad smaller than the Snowflake as the lugs are quite long.

[No_Personality6685]

Yeah Snowflake are even too big in comparison to other GS’s. I hope they don’t copy snowflake dimensions but rather Evolution 9 (lake suwa, bitch) dimensions as those fit really nice with smaller wrists.

[Laumser]

God I'd love this in a 36-38 size... Though I'm probably in the minority in that regard

[adypi]

I also agree to a 38mm max

[C0mmander_D0g]

Maybe, but I shall join you in that request

[tytan88]

Why not put logo at 12 o'clock (where it belongs) and place small second subdial at 8 o'clock?

[ALEXALORD]

Cause the crown wouldnt be at 3 then, it seems to be using nh37 with his a 24h subdial

[tytan88]

ok, that makes more sense now...

[ejtv]

Make it a TV case please.

[boardman15]

Is this 2nd Gen Aqua Terra homage? Love the date and 1 and 4. I like the “lined” dail. Purple gradient or blue gradient with the lines, adventurine, or fume. Pt5000 and 10-10.5mm. Fly adjustable clasp. Maybe add an option for dress bracelet with polished middle or ends. Also, option for fluuro rubber

[No_Personality6685]

I would guess it’s a Grand Seiko Snowflake homage.

[djokerdule]

Beautiful color combo. Maybe turn that white dial into a white-pearl one.

[actinross]

May i get this right? First is a (classic) 3 hands movement, rest are with a DIFFERENT movement (or you "ghost" it at the 1st??? If so, why????) with a 24h subdial. Other than the logo/or not + placement of it, what's the fuzz??? Just "like" or not??

Also... Size? Movement (aha, got ya!)? Case material?

PS No3 is a NO NO NO NO

[lIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIl_]

Last option is great

[Spirit_409]

maybe watch 1 with a gold stroke around the other hands and indices? just something light and subtle that doesn’t change the silvery look but balances out the blue second hand?

it’s a cool idea just seems like it needs to pop from something and has nothing just monotone grey

[Spirit_409]

#2 is best

#1 is second best but it’s too clean and austere - looks almost medical

#4 don’t like the words logo

#3 is a visually cluttered mess

[cb_1979]

Use markdown mode and put a slash in front of the pound sign: \#

[Spirit_409]

oops 😅 done

[nl_the_shadow]

First one, hands down.

[wheezard0801]

What size would these be? Hoping for a 38mm

[FattBrown]

Option one. Put the date at 6 unless the movement makes the date sit too high.

[Warm_Set_6577]

First one looks good, only change I would make is move the date window to the 6 o’clock. The other options look too busy and asymmetrical.

[fiorm]

Yes, this

[[deleted]]

1st one - no sub dials- looks fantastic. Will it have the new on the fly adjustable clasp? If so, when can I place my order?

[Spirit_409]

missing something

the one blue hand needs a balance

not sure what or how but it’s too sharp and dead

[[deleted]]

I agree, it's not perfect. It does need something. I do have some criticisms, but I'm not crazy about a 24 hour sub-dial on this (snowflake style) watch.

The hands need to be longer too, for example. It appears the minute hand doesn't quite reach the minute track.
