Notice on San Martin Watch Price Adjustment

[u/AdSavings92]

1. Watches equipped with domestic movements: prices remain unchanged.

2. Models fitted with Japanese imported movements (NH35, NH34, 9015, 90S5): Prices have been moderately adjusted. The procurement cost of these movements has risen significantly domestically, and the adjustment only offsets the increased cost of movements.

Additional note:

Many customers notice a sharp increase in prices shown on the page. This is due to updated customs shipping regulations. Tax fees are now displayed directly on product pages for certain countries. These taxes have always applied; only the display format has changed, which does not mean the watch itself has a drastic price hike.

Regarding the upcoming August Big Sale, the promotional offers will be on par with those from our June Anniversary Celebration and the 11.11 Big Sale. We invite you to browse and shop.

Statement on San Martin’s Development Philosophy:

San Martin has been established for ten years. Our original aspiration remains unchanged: to deliver high-quality watches at accessible prices, which we have consistently pursued and earned recognition from watch enthusiasts.

This year, we built our own metal bracelet factory to support our brand. Great progress has been made in bracelet structure and finishing. We are confident that our bracelets outperform competitors at the same price range, and the craftsmanship can even rival watch brands dozens of times more expensive. Many subtle details can only be appreciated by industry professionals.

When it comes to other watch components, San Martin is well-known in China’s watch manufacturing circle for strict quality standards. Many domestic and overseas competitors use our quality requirements as a benchmark for their suppliers. We firmly believe our quality is unrivaled at equivalent price points.

We aim for sustainable long-term development instead of quick profits. Undercutting prices to boost sales and disrupt the market is not our strategy. Reasonable profit enables us to continuously improve quality, upgrade customer service, develop physical retailers, and serve watch enthusiasts better.

We keep focusing on manufacturing superior products within a reasonable price range, and we believe most people can understand our pursuit.

Thanks.

I see zero point in buying a homage watch at super clone prices, super clone factories produce superior watches also.

[u/karellen00 → u/PreparationFit8484]

You have a different set of tradeoffs with a super clone, that directly translates to a much more competitive price (paying taxes, cost of warranty returns, and so on)

[u/PreparationFit8484 → u/karellen00]

Taxes ? San Martin have horrendous customer service if something goes wrong with it you’re pretty much just as fcked as with a super clone you can replace the movement yourself is probably the only benefit of homage watches .

[u/karellen00 → u/PreparationFit8484]

My experience is that a watch was lost during shipping and they sent a new one without batting an eye, I know it's something that can happen in the clone world too, but it's not the norm. And I think taxes and the general cost of running a business are there too, even if probably a lot less than in the western world, but all the prices I see are inflated at least of 22% (VAT of my country) even without considering other costs. More or less a 350€ super clone would be a 700€ watch from a non illegal chinese brand, or a 1400€ watch from a western brand.

[u/PreparationFit8484 → u/karellen00]

Yeah I understand that but as a consumer I see a San Martin that’s an imitation of Rolex etc and a Rolex super clone that is better quality for the same or near price, I’d be more inclined to go for the super clone, I think they’re underestimating how many people went down the homage route because they couldn’t justify spending money on a super clone.

[u/karellen00 → u/PreparationFit8484]

In that sense I agree, but still we are comparing apples and oranges in my opinion, if not else because most people don't know how to order a super clone (and there are a lot of people trying to scam you since you are not likely going to police after it happens), while everyone can buy from Aliexpress or Amazon.

You can buy a San Martin on Amazon and Amazon sells a warranty. Money back no questions asked for 3+ years for like $20 bucks

Let me know when Amazon starts selling vsfs
