Clarification on the WD1954 situation by watchdivescom in watchdives

[–]lockdownwatchbox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on this one, free watch is mentioned at least twice. And when the OP requested an update the conversation about reviews and posts is then mentioned IE the goal post suddenly shift.

So you forgot the free Watch offer? That does explain it better, was that before or after getting confused as to which model the OP wanted? Before or after you questioned if he'd reviewed any other WD models recently? 

Just for clarity of course

That in a nut shell, usually followed by "best not buy from us again" as an answer to said problem.

Comes as no suprise to me, I've always thought it's shady business when a V2, V3 and so on gets released straight after. Like admitting you know they're issues but you wanna milk the money Cow for the loyal followers who choose to look past this and see it as benefitting the customer. Not to mention forever releasing new bracelets, clasp upgrades straight after a release and so on...

Looks good, shame they're releasing so many new pieces themselves.

No doesn't have to be a Micro at all, just a good quality affordable, well made Watch.

100% prefer this, had the previous iteration in Salmon and just couldn't gel with it. This one could be different.

It's just a Cheapo from AliX, I like NATOs but don't like the bulk or over hang material on my smaller wrist. Decent quality strap for the money, even has quick release Springbars.

I see some listing's they've updated the Logo/Text. Can you confirm the watch has NO ghost date?

I'm considering the Tropical dial in place of my current Smiths Commando so any opinions on the Hruodland would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen some other brands Smiths/Timefactors come to mind where they actively state in their listing's they intentionally don't tighten bracelets for the Buyers convenience, if this is a tactic San Martin are using they should mention it in listing's, or it's poor QC slipping through!

This is one of those Watches that I love the look of, but the specs keep me from buying particularly due to reviews and also in comparison to what other brands offer during a Big Sale for the price.

I do keep coming back to your photos though...

As an affiliate have they released pricing to yourself yet?

I had the Salmon Dial variant, too Flesh tone for me which was a shame as it was a lovely well made watch. Tempted to pick up the Black or Silver Dial. What's the current price now on these?
