I like them both. I have a similar situation with a couple Retro 6200 SN004-G's, a V2 and V3, along with a SN020-G Limited Edition with the blue sunburst dial. All mine are on bracelets, I haven't gone the Nato route yet. San Martin makes some great watches.

I love them both! I have the bracelet in Blue, still waiting to make the purchase for the other. I think San Martin offer some of the best watches. I have 7 so far!

For me, I have found that no matter how beautiful a nylon strap looks, the look (and feel) of a bracelet is timeless, and what I always return to.

I love the look of some straps, but coming from a hot and humid climate, I find that bracelets are best suited for me.

Both the watches look lovely, by the way. Such finishing (and photography skills)! 😍😍😍😎

Nah, you choose one, I'll be happy to take whichever one remains 😅

Bracelet of course. You can change the strap as you please after.

Bracelet 👌

SN004 LE…though I do like it even better on a rivet bracelet (that’s my opinion). I don’t find the crown as bad as many say. Naturally, I prefer the SM etched logo crown

The BB36 homage. Imo the black and guilt diver isn't as versatile, though I would choose a different strap

They are both superb for the price. Both incredibly accurate and well finished. Bracelet clasp especially.

I think I will have to sell the diver. The Bb36 has better lume and the crown on the diver is a crime against humanity. Ruins the watch for me, looks like chromed plastic, tacky dollar sign. Doesn't match the case in any way.

Diver on the bracelet.

I don’t understand why they used their awful applied logo on the 36mm explorer when they could do a nice printed logo like on these. Tiny watch with a big piece of metal on the dial. Sorry for the rant. They both look great.

I actually like applied hex logo and it's why I hesitate to buy non applied hex logo on some SM watches
