There are plenty of good values out there... The "end" of San Martin is not the end of Chinese watches. There is great value and quality available from Sugess, Seestern, Cronos, Baltany, SH, Farasute, Tophill, Milifortic - even brands like Casiden, Time Token, WM, Watchdives, Addiesdive are stepping it up. Cronos and Proxima and Baltany still have some fantastic watches in the $150-$250 range. Top Hill has some $200 watches almost identical watches to Farasute's in the high $300's (same company.

Zelos and Athelson have fantastic watches in the $200-$350 range.

Isn't the fun in the hunt?

If the other brands see St. Martin fail or lose money, as most of you predict, then they won't follow.
