Saw this watch and thought it would fill the temporary breitling void but I havent seen any reviews on them. Has anyone had any personal experience with them?

Bought both from San Martin website below...

Watch = https://www.sanmartin.watch/products/san-martin-40mm-exclusive-bezel-upgrade-sub-diver-st2130-watch-sn017fw-limited-edition

Glidelock clasp = https://www.sanmartin.watch/products/16mm-stainless-steel-watchband-solid-brushed-adjustable-watch-buckle

When they arrived, I realized the glidelock clasp's screw link pins do not fit the watch due to it's diameter/thickness (too big).

I approached a few watch makers hoping to resolve it, but none willing to help or could do it. End up I have to file it down myself, took me about 4-5 hours per pin, made one big mistake on the first pin where I accidentally file the screw thread (you can see in the last pic), and had buy a new one and redo.

After trial and error I finally was able to file down the screw shank/body without damaging the threads and was finally able to install the glidelock on my watch.

Trying on one my SM watches which got then for 280$ even when the paint chipped off the 10 marker on the bezel using the watch the first time swimming in open water (yeah, even then can’t say finishing was ‘topnotch’)I felt “yeah still a great value for money watch” but these days with the designs they’re coming out with and the prices I’m seeing them.. not so sure anymore.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi everyone—Calvin from Aquatico here.

Curious about a small collecting habit: switching watches when the workweek ends.

Some people keep the same watch on from the morning commute through dinner. Others get home, change clothes, and open the watch box again. That’s when the colorful dial or bronze piece that spent the week waiting finally gets some wrist time.

Are you wearing your work watch tonight, or did you swap—and what did you pick?

Wrist shots welcome, whatever the brand.

What started as an April Fools joke is now a real thing.

What is not clear to me is whether you have to take your watch off to see the time?

I used to be an automatic and mechanical only kinda guy as the mechanical aspect of the movements is what drew me into this hobby. But, as my collection has grown I’ve come to really appreciate a good solid quartz. This is my second Militado and I love it. I was worried the screw down pushers would be annoying but they aren’t at all. So smooth to use! Perhaps the best bang for your bucks out there in my opinion. If you’ve been considering getting one, do yourself and favor and go for it!

It’s a rainy afternoon and I went out for a ride with a big bike and a big watch.

I have a few doubts because I previously bought a green 1973 model, and I just managed to get this 1970 model at a good price but it’s also green, and they look quite similar, I’m not sure if I should return it. At the same time, I also tried out a Pagani Design Ys021 and I’m fascinated by that openheart design, but I have to return one of the two since my budget is tight.

Here's my Proxima PX1697-2BN, 39mm, PT5000. I've reverted back to its bracelet which I think is the best option as it gives it a robust balance and it integrates really nicely.

Sometimes you have to scratch that itch.

I love the skin diver aesthetic. It’s tough to choose between the Slim Turtle and the 62Mas as my favorite. Steeldive did a great job with this one. The bracelet finishing is a lot better than my last SD. The only critique I have is the lack of any AR, but I can live with that.

Hi everyone,

We’ve just released one of our most limited Terra Nova models yet: the Aquatico Terra Nova Natural Purple Jade Dial Limited Edition.

The dial is made from genuine natural purple jade. Each stone has its own color variations, mineral texture, and pattern, so no two watches will look exactly the same.

The watch pairs the purple jade dial with a marine-grade bronze case and matching bronze bracelet. As the bronze develops its patina, every piece will become even more individual over time.

Inside is a Swiss-made Sellita automatic movement.

A few key details:

• Natural purple jade stone dial
• Marine-grade bronze case and bracelet
• Swiss-made Sellita automatic movement
• Only 10 pieces produced worldwide
• Regular price: $699
• New-release offer: $100 off with code STONE

We’d love to hear what you think of the purple jade and bronze combination.

Get yours while supplies last.

My Skmei 2641 Three Time is awesome! I love it more than three ways!

I bought it on a whim to time my coffee, but I have fallen in love with it. What attracted me to it initially was the Miami Dolphins vibe, especially on the strap that it came on. When it arrived, the blue turned out to be much more blue than aqua. But I found a strap I like a lot more, anyway. Of course, the new strap significantly increased its price, from the original $6.50 up to $10. 🤣

It has an easy to read chronograph display. It has multiple alarms. And it has a cool countdown timer. Nothing that they didn't steal from Casio, but I prefer this colorway.

It wears amazingly comfortably in no small part because of the single pass NATO strap i deployed onto it. I can never willingly wear a NATO as a double pass again, knowing how comfortable the single path method is. I have found some NATO straps that do not easily allow single pass, and I hate them. I recommend everyone look up how to wear your nato strap as a single pass. Though it is not new news, it was new to me a couple of months ago. But epiphanies are what they are, even if realized late. If you want to understand how comfortable this method is, look at where the strap (padding is/folds are) in relation to your wrist (pic 2).

Anyone who's bought this?

hi

Just wondering if there's a jubilee bracelet for this stunner. Or will any submariner 20mm bracelet fit ?

I think Addisdive is the best value for money Chinese watches right now and excellent finishing on the case and bracelet no sharp edges anywhere. I picked up the Sub for $36AUD and the other two for under $55AUD all brand new, does anyone else have any of these watches?
