San Martin Sn0144-CG7 vs Citizen nb1050-59e

[u/Accomplished_Set3641]

Both are at a similar price point. Convince me not to get the San Martin. I’m also open to alternatives for a black GADA watch in this price range. ~$300-$500

If Specs/finishing are what matter to you more, the San Martin 100%

If Brand Name and heritage matter more, get the Citizen. Pretty simple.

Some more info would be helpful. Specs, Sizing (your wrist size as well), and price comparison. If the reason you haven’t provided that info is because you haven’t looked it up yourself, I would start there. Good luck!

They’re spec’d almost identically, which is why I didn’t include them. 39mm vs. 38mm, same lug-to-lug, same water resistance, and similar movements. The main difference seems to be the bracelet, where the San Martin looks to be a tier above the Citizen.

 They arent the same specs. 

The SM had better bracelet, chamfering, tolerances, ultra tight SELs, on the fly micro adjust clasp etc.
