Just thought I would add that two of my favorite watches are from San Martin. I have no experience with their divers but based on the quality of the two pilots I have I would not hesitate in buying one.

Uniform almost satin finish. I have banged them into enough things at this point to definitely confirm they have sapphire crystals. I couldn't be happier with the lume.

The type B I have on a bracelet now and it is my most worn work watch. To the point that I have lost count of how many times I have removed small dents and scratches from it. It's a tough watch and is still water tight.

Today I decided to pull the case back and regulate it.
ImageImage

Definitely a Seiko movement and spotlessly clean inside. Dual gaskets.

I have had one Heimdallr pilot and based upon my experience would not buy that brand again.
Image
In person the hands really look cheap and the hour hand was not aligned properly. Yes it's an easy fix but I don't like having to fix what even basic qc should have caught.

Very nice!

Just thought I would mention they have both the PT5000 and SW200 movement options still with and without calendar dials. I don't know if the particular one you want is cheaper or not there.

There're actually 3 movements type in your link! NH35 option is the cheapest and wondering what movement is PT5000? And PT5000 is not the cheapest option.

Thanks for sharing the link. [emoji4]

emmm, it seems the second one is the official from the domain name. I just received submariner homage which was ordered on www.sino-watches.com I contacted the san martin on aliexpress, and they approved this site is authorized store. The fast shipping and long warranty are important for me to order on sino-watches store.

Pt5000 is a qualité clone of the 2824!
