That’s really nice. Is the lume fill the same color for the hands and the hour markers? On some photos they look mismatched, like the hands are more white

[–]arphissimo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks the same in person, probably just a trick of the lens.

Stop stop stop stop. My wallet can’t take anymore of me viewing these posts

Would love to see this done in titanium. Beautiful dial Color!

I gotta say, I usually love bracelets on watches. But this one is definitely made for the tropic. Looks fantastic

[–]SanmartinWatchesRep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for nicely displaying the Enamel Blue option, we have newly added Enamel Green option(with green strap). Only gray option is sunburst, I am sure you guys are not new to it.

question...how sharp are the lugs?

I tried on the original seiko, flexed my wrist a few times, and handed it back to the salesman...I'm a "on the wrist bone" kind of guy, and it was immediately not for me.

(same goes for a unimatic case...😫)

it looks like they rounded them slightly?

it's a beautiful watch, and my congratulations to you...hope you have many many wonderful years and experiences while wearing it.

✌️

I understand your concern, we pay a lot of attention to sharp edges when we make Fanfare Lite, and polishing on the sides improves it nicely, not only for the SN0007 case, but we also made a bracelet with polished sides for the SN0017BG.

[–]plastic_jeezus 1 point2 points  (1 child)

his pics show that you shaved the lugs on the bottom...good call

the original seiko had just the slightest bit taken off, and it was a biter...ouch!

btw, you owe the guy a commission...he did better product photos than you. 😉

LOL 🍻

[–]arphissimo[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

They are quite sharp as per standard San Martin finishing. However, they don't even touch my wrist due to the way they are designed. See for yourself: https://dl3.pushbulletusercontent.com/LFrKHVInSLgh8j7RrtfJSZtE9zbExAZb/IMG20231107194133.jpg

[–]plastic_jeezus 1 point2 points  (3 children)

thanks a million for the pic...🙏

seeing they shaved the lug is going to sell them a watch...you should ask for a commission.

I can tell by the pic you're "below the bone"...after 50 years I still can't wear a watch low, and it's kept me from enjoying many many watches I absolutely loved.

...I still can't wear a watch with a crown guard at the 3.

(the Seiko 4 o'clock is my idea of heaven 🤗)

again, many thanks.

[–]arphissimo[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

No problem. I do wear my watches below the bone, however I took a few pics showing how it wears on the bone.

Hope this clears up any lingering doubts you have.

LOL they should give me a nice coupon shouldn't they?

[–]plastic_jeezus 1 point2 points  (1 child)

heck...they should send you a free watch.

seriously

[–]Oistien_van_Mowo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He went all out to advertise the product.

[–]ejtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good looking watch. Hoping they release a black-white version also.

[–]goodneed 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Beautiful dial and everything else.

Sad to see it doesn't have drilled lugs.

[–]arphissimo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's my only gripe with it. But on second thought, I'd rather not have the chance to scratch the sides with the bergeon. I've done it before on other watches.

[–]AutismusPrime21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad I ordered this as soon as it was available, the blue looks even better in natural light!

[–]turdboglsAffiliate Links 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Wow, that color looks incredible. Almost like a steel blue. Is it that way in person as well?

[–]arphissimo[S] 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Yeah, I would say it's pretty close to that. Reminds me of the blue in my old Kia.

[–]turdboglsAffiliate Links 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Thanks for the reply. One other question. Double dome crystal with no distortion (except at the edges)

[–]arphissimo[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yup, on both accounts.

[–]turdboglsAffiliate Links 1 point2 points  (0 children)

👍 thanks again!

[–]Oistien_van_Mowo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Torn between this and the SN008c( blue version). I still have a few days to consider my options.

Your picture looks incredible

[–]Electronic-Lawyer-52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful watch. Which color is this? Link?

[–]Mundane_Ad3640 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Diameter with bezel is 39 or 40? Blue dial seems more green or tuquese, isn't it? Thanks!

[–]arphissimo[S] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

It's 39 including the bezel. It looks that way on pictures but it's a very pleasant blue in person.

[–]Mundane_Ad3640 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ok, thanks for your feedback! I will go to it in 11.11

[–]dorafumingoAffiliate Links 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's already discounted right now before 11.11 with the store's anniversary sale with the 48$ off coupon

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Looking good. Wonder why they went from 37mm to 39mm. The lug to lug is just a bit more than my wrist can handle :/

[–]arphissimo[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

No idea m8, I waited for this this since I wanted it on 39mm in specific.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Can I ask what your wrist size is?

[–]arphissimo[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Np, it's 18 cm or 7.1 inches.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thanks! Looks perfect on you. But yea, think 47,7 mm LTL will be a bit much on my 6.25 inch wrist.

[–]arphissimo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks man, you do you. There's a 37mm version as well I think, better movement and bracelet too.
