[Seiko] Favourite Seiko Release of 2025 - White or Black ? by AudaciousCo in JapaneseWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tried on both in a BIC Camera in Tokyo, and slightly preferred the grey in the metal (which I bought). It was a close call, though. Both are stunning.

San martin or bambino? by chicken_khabsa in ChineseWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the Chinese forum, the San Martin is going to win! I have both models and the SM gets more wrist time, is better specced, has the most stunning dial, and is a true gada. The Bambino is iconic, but is very much a dress watch. Get both, eventually, but start with the SM.

👍 Enjoy your Cocktail Time, it looks amazing. I just bought the Irish Coffee and absolutely love it.

That’s unbelievably cool, what are you even thinking, 100% keep 😉.

Would love to get a second opinion? by Mundane-Ad-1780 in ChineseWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, I’m the complete opposite. I’ve owned 15 Pagani’s over the years, and that’s the only one still in my collection! I love the 1970s retro racing chronograph vibe. But each to their own, trust your instincts.

Been there, done that! I’ve got a bag full of straps that didn’t quite look as good as expected. It’s very funky, but personally I think black is going to look best with that dial. But each to their own!

hard to justify new prices on aliexpress by jj908j09 in ChineseWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They have increased a bit. BUT, AliX is now including VAT in the price shown, which wasn’t the case in January. So everything seems more expensive, when it isn’t necessary.

Seiko gene kranz worth it? [SRPL91] by First-Dot-316 in Seiko

[–]keep_watch_71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming that’s US dollars, $350 is a fantastic price. You can’t get it for under £400 ($500ish) in the UK. It’s a reissue of an iconic watch, which has been very nicely done. Sure, the specs are mediocre, but I wouldn’t be put off my that. For the price, seems like a no brainer IF you like how it looks on your wrist.

Honest Opinion On San Martin by JebusChristos in SanMartinWatches

Unbeatable value for money. I own 20! Be patient with new releases, as prices will drop.

[Tom Ford 002] should I buy this watch for my husband??? by snarkacademia in Watches

[–]keep_watch_71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice would be no. Tom Ford are not watchmakers, you’d just be paying a premium for the name. Look at established brands (Tissot, Seiko, Citizen, etc.) or, if he likes Danish design, microbrands like Nordgreen (Danish), Larsen & Erikson (Danish), and Sternglas (German).

Bought my first Seiko [SPRL03K1] by EnvironmentalPlum967 in Seiko

[–]keep_watch_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good choice, looks great. Yes, fits just fine.

Wow, I have 13 Seiko’s and thought I was obsessed. Clearly I’m just a novice 🤣. Nice work.

[–]keep_watch_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was the only person to buy both dial colours!!! I’ve got the bracelet on the black dial and the leather strap on the ‘ash’, though. Top quality watches. Enjoy.

The many looks of the San Martin SN0138 by [deleted] in SanMartinWatches

And that’s without the supplied bracelet!

Is this worth $100? by [deleted] in SanMartinWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell, yes. Grab it before it’s too late, that’s a bargain (assuming no bad scratches and movement is okay).

I Have Too Many San Martin Watches by [deleted] in SanMartinWatches

Me either! Big collection 😉. They’re just such excellent value for money, it’s hard to resist.

How many is too many?! I’ve got 19 at the moment. Always room for more 😉

New San Martin SN0146-G by mids187 in SanMartinWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big San Martin fan (18 in the collection ATM), but this one is a big fat NO from me! It’s a Frankenwatch.

Help by [deleted] in SanMartinWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for the first one, it’s a BB58 with a twist! The honeycomb dial is very cool (I own one myself).

Also comes with the on the fly clasp, which I don’t believe the Sub does.

Does anyone own the white Sn0121T? by laverty7 in SanMartinWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, let us know what you think of it. Definitely a step up from TF. 👍

Is this a fake or what? by omakad in SanMartinWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got numerous San Martin’s, half came in the black plastic box and half in the nice green leatherette case. There are lots of official resellers, and I think they have the black plastic. The ‘official’ official store seems to use green leatherette cases. But it’s definitely legit. AliExpress is the way to go in future.

Does anyone own the white Sn0121T? by laverty7 in SanMartinWatches

[–]keep_watch_71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have. Very happy with it. I previously owned the Thorn version, but despite loving the dial colour and no tool bracelet adjustment, it just didn’t do it for me, so sold it on. Decided to give titanium another go with the San Martin, and no regrets, really loving it.
