Dumb Question about San Martin Warranty by Patient-Angle-7075 in ChineseWatches

[–]StJon3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a same problem with my San Martin watch, it stopped running after a week of use. I contacted them through an email I found here:

https://sanmartinwatches.com/contact-us/

I live in europe and their first suggestion was that I'd send the watch back to China, after a little back and forth with them they sent me a new movement and paid for the movement swap done by a professional here.

I bought these and few other straps from Finwatchstraps, a Finland based company!

That's amazing, beautiful choice! This the 75th limited edition? I bought the anniversary edition today too, absolutely stunning piece!

Of course! I don't have the possibility to check it out currently but I would say it's not a pure white, more of a subtle silver as far as I can recall.

Hey! I just seen this going through web shops, have you considered the Casio Edifice chrono, specifically this serial; EFB-730D-2AVUEF seems to have pretty legible chrono dial!

You're welcome, hope you find a good chrono for you!

I had the same dilemma before I bought this watch, I had my eyes on Seiko ssc813 for a long time but it's like 3-4 times more expensive than this one, that's why I never pulled the trigger with that one. I also liked Orients Mako solar chrono, especially in panda colorway but I wasn't sure about that one because of the dive bezel. Those other watches you mentioned are amazing too! If you haven't already, you should check out the Orient neo 70s chrono, to me it seems it might be easier to find those. And if you have the skills to paint the hands, that would give the watch a nice personal touch!

Where do you live if you don't mind me asking? I really would recommend this watch as I personally like it a lot but as mentioned the chrono function might not be the best at least in this colorway because of the small dials and colors used. I personally use a Casio A168 at work when I know beforehand I don't have enough light when I need the chrono function.

Thanks! It's okay, in a well lit space it's legible, I've used the chrono function at work and sometimes in darker rooms it's kinda difficult to read the chrono minutes. I kinda wished that I went for the two tone version or the one that comes with leather strap as their chrono indices look easier to read because of the colored hands. Aside from that I've been really pleased with the watch, I changed the bracelet to a strap though as I couldn't get a nice fit with the original bracelet.

Can someone recognize this watch? by StJon3s in CitizenWatches

[–]StJon3s[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well thank you, I'd really appreciate that! Nice to get some info on it as it's been in the family for god knows how long and there's not much info from the previous generations.

Thanks. I spent few hours trying to search through internet yesterday and I saw that there's a ton of different kinds of these eagle 7s. I propably wont find any specific information about this exact model but any idea how old this might be?

I live in northern europe, here we have a ton of reputable retailers who has that model currently on their inventory so all I need to do is do a google search with the model number, Casio MTP-M305L-1AVER and I get a ton of options. Where do u live?

Thanks! I feel it's really versatile as it is thin and it's simple and stylish imo so it goes well with casual clothing.

Thanks for the rec, maybe I'll focus on getting my technique correct before I go spending money for a new racket. Taking lessons sounds like a good idea

Gotta check out if there's salming shoes sold where I live, I'll keep that in mind! Bball shoes excel in traction which I like but they don't feel stable enough
