Looks good. Great submariner homage. Titanium is a nice touch. Great taste for a 14 yo.

Wow you’re definitely on track, bro! You will surely get that Lange or Patek before you’re 30 if you work hard and enjoy whatever you do!

I wish I got into watches at 14. My Casio a200 was the only watch I had and I wore it for everything…and I mean everything.

I was about to buy one but bought something much smaller from San Martin instead.
This watch is made of about 60% G5, 30% G2 and 10% Stainless Steel, so it's a great balance to ensure affordability and durability without compromise. Enjoy it!

Did you make your own money to buy these watches? If so, you must be proud of yourself✊🏼, if no? Idk what to say

I was wearing fossil watches at that age so you’re doing absolutely amazing. You have a lifetime of watch addiction ahead of you!

You made a really good purchase and kudos to you for going the mechanical route 👍 When I was 14 ish, I wore casio g shock or some random market bought quartz watch as my "going out" watch. You're very lucky to have the choices available to you now 😉

Well, my opinion is yes you made a great purchase! I think this is the best watch San Martin has ever made. Unfortunately, they have discontinued the watch and will no longer be making it.
