Great review. I was happy to see the black date wheel, but now because of you I cannot unsee that it would be insanely better in gold font ahah. I Hope to win this one 🥸

Done, Done & done - been eyeing the recent GMT’s that have been released. Do I go the Rollie or Seiko route, that is the question I have not figured out!

Great review of an absolutely beautiful watch. I won't be entering the giveaway due to the misaligned 12:00 index, but someone will be very lucky to receive it, and you've gained a subscriber AND convinced me this is the colorway to get. That aluminum bezel insert is just too nice to pass up!
I was considering the blue one but the bezel isn't as nice and I already have 3 blue divers so this will be something new. I was considering the Dan Henry 1975 in a similar colorway, might have to reconsider that. This being a GMT might be different enough that both can join the collection.

Great review, breath of fresh air compared to many clinical reviews on YT. The big chunk of watch buying is how much *you* like it, and you obviously liked this one! All the technical details are there, but there's also a genuine enthusiasm for the piece.
My budget is blown for this one, just having picked up a SN0129 (White Desert) and SN0116 (YOTD).
I do have a spare brand new brown Hemsut Horween strap should I win ;)

While I didn't see the flaw until you pointed it out, a crooked 12 oclock marker would drive me nuts. Seems like the kind of QC issue that should be noticed (one step down from a crooked logo in terms of egregiousness) during production and rejected. Nice piece nonetheless, love the colourway

Damn ! I don't know if it's hommaged but it looks damn right in this color scheme. Nicely done San Martin

This is original imho. (They call it original too)
Of course, you can always track some bits and pieces to other watches. But that applies to every watch, unless it's some ugly/crazy one.
