IWC Mk XI homage review

Post by Tanukjaju »

Brand: San Martin
Price: $148 (less 15% using ebay special 1 day promotion) ... so let’s call it $127 shipped to my mailbox
Size: 39mm all stainless
Movement: Seiko automatic of some sort
Crystal: sapphire
Crown: screw down
Accessories: see 1st pic (the leather strap on watch is mine)
Weight: 77 grams including the leather strap it’s on.
Other: all sterile (see pics)

My comments: I personally love that it’s sterile, that it has a Seiko.... cheap, bad or otherwise, I personally have a higher opinion of Seiko movements compared to other non Swiss movements. Love the box it comes in. Appreciate the screwdriver... I’m not sure why it was included :eh: - I’ve always wanted to make something similar but it would have cost me more to make something similar.

On to the pics:

2 nato straps.... a friendship bracelet from St. Martin. Warranty card, a friggin screwdriver :thumbup: - I’m not a nato fan, so I put on a leather cheapie (20mm).

That San Martin sticker peels off :shh:

Totally sterile outside

Someone wants to be my friend...(I assume that’s what a friendship bracelet is about?)

Wristy

In summary... what do I think, at $127?

:shifty:

Cool!

I got a San Martin watch some months ago. But mine came with a Chinese good luck trinket.

I should post a review too :idea:
