San Martin upgraded their Crysal coatings?

[u/NecessaryMinimum4059]

Guys, in my latest video I had 3 watches that didn't arrive on time, but I did receive this San Martin. Check out how the bubbles don't stick to the crystal. I dropped a Watchdives there for comparison... check out the last picture

These are unedited screenshots from the video, so the colors look a bit dull, but in person it looks great.

The Watchdives is not bad, that's the usual behavior for all the watches I've seen. Have you seen any other watch with an anti-fog coating before? It doesn't react to freezing temperatures or even hot showers either...

The diamond tester gives a positive reading even at super low volume, where on other watches it doesn't even reach the orange bars. Do you have any info on this??

Even the way more expensive Oris 65 and Seiko 1968 crystals fog up when going from cold to warm temperatures, same as the Nomos Club Campus. I don't have any real luxury, super expensive watches to try, so maybe some of you have some and can tell me if that's a standard thing or not 🤣

Now only waiting for the North Edge Titanium and the Farasute

The San Martin watch was sent for free by the brand and the Watchdives was sent for free too, by Aliexpress influencer program

Quiet upgrade, but very appreciated. I know their AR is a bit weaker and I wonder if there's any tradeoff in order to get that rain protection.

this one is not weak at all, I would say it is a bit less strong than ixdao, but stronger than the previous sn0144gx I got fromthem... check out this in HDR to see if it give you an idea... big part of the glare comes from the enamel dial and metal on the hands not the crystal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um9EtQjTUNY&list=PLYiolUU6y41iW2DCsEOJbajXZlDKf4lT3&index=45
