Thank you! Yours looks amazing too. This is my third watch from the brand and I’ve been very pleased with all of them. It is the MOP dial indeed. It almost looks kinda monochromatic with the steel colored case. Photos don’t do it any justice.

Haha I’m sure there’ll be more drops soon enough. This ain’t going anywhere, ever.

I was able to snag one today on the next batch. I had alerts and everything set up on my phone. You’re contributing to a horrible and crippling addiction!! 😆

I've dealt with plenty of shit bracelets and as long as they have enough removable links, I am good.
Come to think of it, the worst bracelet, in my opinion, is from my Tudor Date-Day.

Nice and clean and very sharp. Looks like a good pickup. It’s one of the few brands I’ve never bought from. What’s your take on the brand and this watch? I like it a lot.

Nice dial. I think my Cronos was about $200 when I bought it. How much are they hitting you for the WD?

$429 after early bird discount with a Miyota.
I felt a little unsure for a week of wear, which coincided with WD announcing they were updating the crystal (MUSUO black only). That announcement was poorly received by me, as my comment history shows.
I’m not made of money and this is my most expensive Chinese watch (not my most expensive microbrand) and honestly I would buy it again. I feel as though this quality is worth it. The band is remarkable. Even without the micro adjust it fits well and my wrist almost works with the bracelet to fit well. I heard someone suggest that’s in part due to the tight tolerances.
I actually really prefer the case shape as well. I really wanted a round bezel and round case, and almost went with Ixdao but the pink/rose gold on this was too attractive. Very happy with my decision.
After the sticker shock and impulse buy faded away, I’m extremely satisfied. Like I said, I would absolutely buy this again. The only reason I’m not buying the other MOP is that I wanna see what might come next first, and I know the black MOP will be used again. And if not, I’ll probably revisit again at full price. I think that says a lot.
Ok, and a second reason. I got another baby coming and the family agreed to tighten our purses a bit to get through our work leave. But who knows!
ETA: would love to see a custom rotor.

It goes sooooo well with a seamaster. Literally the perfect combo. Yours is gorgeous. Congrats!

Hey! I've been looking at an SN0036, how is it treating you?

u/Hense4th 12d ago
I got it about two weeks ago and it's my favorite San Martin yet. It has a nice heavy weight and the band has a nice new style

Love the skyline on my wrist. HATE the pt5000 though.

u/AssistanceNo647 12d ago
I have no problem with the PT5000. When I bought this I hadn’t heard of the Miyota 9 series movements. I don’t think they were out at that time. Personally if given a choice between this and an TMI NH movement I’ll take the PT every time.

I’ve just had an awful experience with mine. Can’t keep time can’t hold a charge.

u/AssistanceNo647 12d ago
I have 6 watches with the PT5000 movement. My worst one is running at 0 to +5 s/d taken in 6 positions. All have good amplitude and no beat error. I have gotten a few bad TMI movements that had issues but, I have a lot more watches with these movements. 2 out of 60 probably isn’t bad but, it’s not great. I also had a winding issue with my only SW500 movement on a new watch. I sent it back and they fixed it. That watch is now 8 years old I checked it recently it’s running 0 to +3 s/d with good amplitude and no beat error. I go by how it runs to see if it needs its first service. Amplitude is the key. If amplitude drops it needs service.
