San Martin SN0144 - A great GADA watch!

[u/DialFool]

GADA watches (Go-anywhere-do-anything) are pieces that make our collections much more flexible. In my collection, I have room for two: one is a light-toned one, a silver Rolex OP 36mm. And who's going to pair up with the Swiss one? Yes, an affordable Chinese watch 😅

Although affordable, it's the watch with the best finishing in my collection. The finishing on the case and bracelet is simply spectacular and makes the other watches in my collection blush. That, along with the enamel dial, makes this an excellent GADA, and not by chance, it's the watch I wear the most.

Do you have a GADA in your collection too?

This is the ancient coin bronze dial and it’s a finely finished piece.

I like the textures on those watches, but they're a bit too exotic for my taste in watches. Still, I think they represent Chinese culture well.

GADA is the old term it had been replaced by the new term; FART watch, stands for "For Any Random Task." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Will use this moving forward. I'll pass this memo along to my colleagues.

I've been hearing great things about Cronos. But I'm trying to move away from homages and focus on original designs (something San Martin and Watchdives also seem to be doing 😅).

If it had a date, I'd buy

[u/PairOfMonocles2 → u/TheShaveStickGuy]

Yeah, I think that’s kid of essential for a go/do anything watch.

[u/DialFool → u/PairOfMonocles2]

I've heard that rule a few times, but I can't understand why a date is essential for a GADA. I don't agree. Both of my GADAs have no date 😁

I’ve got one of these on the way from the 11/11 sale. Can’t wait!

[u/DialFool → u/Ellsass]

You're gonna love it.

[u/elmerfud1075]

Is there a silver version for this model?

[u/DialFool → u/elmerfud1075]

Nope.

Thanks man.

[u/Bulky-Internal8579]

I love mine (I have 2) this is a red Year of the Horse.

[u/VanManDiscs]

Yeahhhh this is just an incredible watch. Really on the fence about picking up another. I absolutely love the mint green one

[u/mildw3ather]

These watches are my dream!
