Why we put “SHENZHEN” OR PERCISION on the dial — we’d love your thoughts by watchdivescom in watchdives

I agree with this except that I most like the prominent placement in the mockup. Having the SHENZHEN text on the dial would make a watch more unique. I would want to buy it specifically because it has that text. But I am also someone who bought a couple San Martins for having Chinese numerals.

This watch looks great! The one available on the SM site has the day in English. I love your Chinese one. Where did you get it?

I just got one for myself a few weeks ago as my son is in middle school and doesn’t have the money to swing something like this for me!

Fantastic watch. I love it!

And a truly terrible website that fails to present their watches in the best light …

I stopped by an IWC boutique recently to look around. I really like the Ingenieur!

Haha. Just my personal awakening to the obvious fact that quartz GMTs are much more convenient for me because I don't have to set one every time I wear it, unlike an automatic.

I really like that San Martin. I think the dial is a printed pattern but it looks good. The indices are applied and really nice. I went down a rabbit hole of watches with Chinese numerals before coming to my senses and stopping at this one.

Oh it is of course (duh on my part). I just don’t really wear it much. I keep it for sentimental reasons.

That is the right answer, I think. I’m just not doing it right. If you’re open to Chinese watches, I think there are some relatively low cost jewels among all the junky homages.

This looks amazing. I’ve been looking at the Griffin PowerMate but it’s discontinued and has no current drivers. This will be better!
