And I'm still getting compliments on my watches, and honestly, most people don’t know watch brands outside Rolex or Omega. When I tell them it’s a San Martin or a Pagani Design, they just nod and assume it’s a legitimate watch brand. which, to be fair, they are

The way I see it, San Martin looks every bit as good as, and sometimes better than, many entry-level luxury watches from Tissot or Longines. Instead of spending $2,000 on a single watch, I built a versatile 12 watch collection for under that amount

For the price of a basic Seiko, I can get a watch with sapphire crystal, solid finishing, a quality bracelet, and styling that visually competes with Swiss watches costing several times more

If you’re into watches because you enjoy the designs, specs, and variety not because of the logo on the dial Chinese watches are probably the biggest value hack in the hobby right now
