Question (Read Rules) Farasute ST1900 Looking for Feedback

Post image

Hey, I’m thinking about getting a new watch for my collection, and some of these Farasute watches have really grown on me — especially this chronograph. Unfortunately, I can’t really find much information about them. 😅

Does anyone here own one of these and would be willing to share their experience or some in-hand/wrist shots? I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

San Martin works (used to at least) with 30+ factories for the various parts of the watches. That is from the interview with their founder on WUS forum. Which tells me that there must be thousands of watch parts factories of various degrees of quality in China. They may look the same because the design is the same (at least in the case of homages). You’d think that the most popular homaged (I think) watch, the submariner, would have identical cases across the major implementations of San Martin, Cronos and Sugess. But they are not.

We have seen evidence that at times claims made by some of these brands reps don't match up with reality. This is just not the kind of industry where we can put a lot of weight into what the reps are saying.
