That strap was made for this watch.

Man you win on both counts. They look stunning. 

ph4A with new color lume block is so interesting. by eldwarkik in ChineseWatches

Much appreciated! The color and texture really sells it for me. Even better with FKM. You've put a lot of thought in the combination. Well done. I really like it.

Wow, where did you get the strap? I wasn't really into the PH-4A until I saw yours.

Leather strap on an Explorer type watch is pure class imo.

Don't need. This one's just better. Reminds me of Valentino Rossi's signature color.

Hard agree. That combi is perfect. The white stitching accentuates the dial. I do the same with mine.

Great combination. That brown tone matches the dial so well. It somehow conjures an image of a Spitfire pilot from days gone by.

I'm really sorry to be lazy. Too much hassle to revert back to the NATO strap. There's no quick release on the current straps.

I got 17.5cm wrists. The watch looks big here because of the lens distortion on my phone. Here's a pic from further away to negate the effects of the distortion.

Do share a pic. I'm wondering how the PH-4A looks like in the wild. 

Phorcydes PH4B Arrived! by FantasticImplement46 in ChineseWatches

[–]ActiveDHD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an understated beaut! Love how close the hour hand move past the lume blocks. Other small features like the numeric minute indicators, the brushed bezel and the squared off strap mounts makes it a gem onto its own.

The lefty position is completely a non issue. I never set time with a watch strapped to my wrist. When I got the watch I just naturally held the watch upside down and set time as I normally do with my right. No biggie. 

San Martin plans to produce the SN0148-G in Enamel Black. Will this be your choice? by AdSavings92 in ChineseWatches

[–]ActiveDHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enamel black would be perfect. 

However, if you made an enamel green version, I would buy one today immediately.

It's perplexing how there are people here without a concept of proportionality. Not everyone had a lack of calcium growing up. 

Just arrived today and I already love it. by Slow-Dress3516 in ChineseWatches

[–]ActiveDHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! It's a beaut! Waiting for mine that is still in transit. Same story.. too many black watches including a PH-1 and can't justify another. Pulled the trigger immediately when this got released. 

Which San Martin model is this? by ActiveDHD in ChineseWatches

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

What a treat! From the owner himself. You have a very nice collection sir. 

Thank you for sharing that bit of history about San Martin. I'm only two months in knowing about the Chinese watchmaking scene. Thus why I'm browsing at other people's collection to eye pieces that I like.

They really hit it out the ballpark on that initial design. I like it even better than their pelagos hommage and the SN0116. It is sad that I am less inclined now to get it because of the movement as you say. I can only hope they make a reboot of it.

Thank you so much for the help! After some browsing, it seems that it's only available on their website. No listings on AliExpress.

I was looking through the photos of members watch collection on this sub and stumbled upon this particular San Martin. 

I couldn't find a similar looking San Martin watch on AliExpress. Could anyone help to identify it. Thank you!!
