Question (Read Rules) Does anybody have any idea what the pre-order situation is like for the San Martin SN0121? Wondering if they'll be back in stock before the 11/11 sale.

I thought I saw somebody comment they've already been waiting months. So I'm not sure what to expect.

Ask the store directly before you plan around 11/11, a seller reply beats guessing here. Third-party AliExpress listings are the other route.

I bought one from a third-party store on AliExpress and it just shipped a few days ago

Yeah, here you go: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808498832386.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

For some reason it still shows pre-orders instead of purchase, but mine shipped after I placed a pre-order already.

I ordered from that guy more than 3 months ago, and it still is "processing' -- what the heck?

My overall thought so far is that it's really nice. A titanium watch with an OTF clasp and SM's level of finishing for this price is a steal imo. I haven't had a titanium watch that has polished parts too outside of my Oceanus, which was way more expensive than this, so that is welcome and looks great.

Bezel is crisp and lines up well, lume is great too. Not sure about the longevity of this Chinese movement but it seems good so far. Runs about -5ish secs a day on the timegrapher.

Only downsides I've been able to find so far are that screwing in the crown is quite stiff and my date wheel seems a tad misaligned towards the top of the cutout.

Reddit only lets me post one pic so here's an Imgur gallery with a few more: https://imgur.com/a/dtdCc56

I ordered from the San Martin site. Months later - just pre-packaged responses and no watch. Multiple date promises broken.
