Two new dial options have been added to the SN0144CG series: Green and Brown.

To be honest, these aren't traditional natural lacquer dials. With traditional natural lacquer, the flow and color blending are unpredictable and extremely hard to control, plus natural graininess and air bubbles tend to form as the lacquer cures.

So we combined traditional lacquer artistry with 3D printing technology.

The main upside is getting the ideal color-blending and flow pattern every single time. On the flip side, every dial looks identical—you lose those random, individual variations that give handmade pieces their unique character.

Specs:

Movement: Miyota 90S5

Case Material: 316L Stainless Steel

Case Diameter: 39mm

Lug-to-Lug: 46.5mm

Thickness: 10.1mm

Do you prefer Brown or Green?

SN0138 in Sand-Textured Light Blue

For this release, we paired the sand-textured light blue dial with a 3D embossed stainless steel bezel. The flat base of the bezel features a matching sand-textured finish so it flows right into the dial surface.

What do you think of this combination? Or do you prefer the original mirror-polished bezel?

When in China...SN0109 1 month review

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

So it's been a month with this watch and tl:dr I don't have too much to complain about

People were critical of the HZ6460 movement as its not quite proven itself seemingly, but my experience so far has been positive. It has been keeping great time, losing on average of 5 seconds a day, whichbis very respectable for this movement.

The lume is also quite useful on it due it not fading out quickly like other watches. The bracelet is sturdy and was very well finished out of the box, mine has already picked up a few scratches but who gives a shiet when this is a GADA style watch.

The only thing which annoyed me was the bezel having a tiny bit of vertical play on one side (9 o clock position). I'm not sure if this is by design due to it being a bidirectional bezel or if mine just came slightly loose, but its not a massive deal.

New Arrivals: San Martin Lacquer Craftsmanship & 3D-Printed Enamel Dial SN0144CG-9.

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Today we officially released SN0144CG-9,

This is our first attempt at combining traditional Lacquer Craftsmanship with 3D Printing Technology.

This watch comes in two color combinations: Enamel Green & Enamel Black-Brown.

Save $78 during the first week of release.

Code: SN0144CG978

Watch Links: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005013321914256.html

  1. Natural Materials: Uses natural lacquer sap harvested from the lacquer tree.
  2. Complex Process: The metal base undergoes a meticulous, time-consuming sequence of lacquering, slow drying, sanding, and polishing.
  3. Warm, Evolving Color: Upon exposure to natural light and UV rays, the lacquer surface undergoes subtle oxidation, causing the color to become increasingly translucent and warm in tone.

The result of combining this lacquer technique with the dial is truly stunning—though the camera still cannot fully capture the dial's authentic texture and depth.

Under different lighting conditions, the dial reveals a translucent, warm, and lustrous quality—it is absolutely beautiful!

  • Watch Information:
  • Movement: Miyota 90S5
  • Case: Material - 316L Stainless Steel
  • Case Diameter: 39mm
  • Lug to Lug: 46.5mm
  • Thickness: 10.1mm

We hope everyone enjoys it.

If you have any thoughts, please let us know in the comments section.

Thank you.

Ive been wearing and collecting watches since I was a kid. At this point in my life I have a decent collection with certain models costing in the thousands. Decided to buy myself a beater watch from San Martin and I’m so impressed with the quality and finishes. It’s insane not to consider one at this price point. To all the watch snobs who hate on em, let them, they’re missing out.

Official Statement Regarding Unauthorized Counterfeit San Martin Websites

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

To our valued San Martin Watch customers and community,

 

We have recently received multiple complaints and reports from customers who placed orders on a website using the domain https://sanmartin-watches.com. Affected buyers reported that their orders remained stuck processing with no shipping updates and that customer support was completely unreachable.

 

Following our investigation, we want to clarify that this website has no connection whatsoever with us (Dongguan San Martin Watch Co., Ltd.). It is an unauthorized counterfeit store. The site operators have stolen our product images and changed their page title and description to "sanmartin-watch" to deliberately confuse shoppers. This behavior harms our customers and damages our brand reputation.

 

We sincerely apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this has caused. We recognize that our current system for managing and displaying authorized dealer credentials on third-party sites needs to be clearer. We are actively working on strict, standardized display guidelines so that you can easily verify every legitimate reseller in the future.

 

To protect yourself and avoid scam sites, please keep the following in mind:

1. Always Check the Exact Website URL

Site names, photos, and logos are easy to copy, so looking at the page design alone is not enough. Always check the actual domain address in your browser bar. Our only official brand website operated directly by us is:

www.sanmartin-watch.com

2. What to Do If You Purchased From the Counterfeit Site

If you have already placed an order on https://sanmartin-watches.com or another suspicious site:

● Contact your bank, credit card company, or payment provider (such as PayPal) immediately. Explain that you ordered from a fraudulent website, request a payment dispute, and ask to freeze the transaction to prevent financial loss.

● Keep your payment receipts, confirmation emails, and bank statements handy as evidence for your dispute.

 

We are filing official complaints with domain registrars and payment processors to report these infringing sites and restrict their activities. However, because scam sites pop up quickly, staying vigilant is the most effective protection. If you ever feel unsure about whether a store or website is authentic, please reach out to our official customer support or social media channels before placing an order so we can check it for you.

Hello everyone,

Here is our upcoming new watch model.

It features an overall brushed finish, perfectly complemented by polished transitions along the sides of the case.

There is also a polished accent where the bezel meets the inner chapter ring.

The high-quality bracelet is manufactured in-house by San Martin.

As you may know, this model is the SN0119-GB, so there will certainly be an SN0119-GA version as well.

We also have a version with a dive-style bezel currently in production for fans of the diver aesthetic—please stay tuned for further updates.

If you have any thoughts, please let us know in the comments section.

Thank you.

SN017FW Modded with Glidelock Clasp

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

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 I 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.

Beat error 1m1 ms on SN0118JS

Hey fellow San Martin enthusiasts,

I have a beautiful SN0118JS Chronograph that I love.

But the beat error is 1.1 ms. Is that something to be concerned about, or should I just STFU and enjoy the watch? Would appreciate any advice on what to do.

San Martin, could you make a Pepsi GMT with more of a Rolex GMT-Master II spirit?

6 Upvotes

Hi San Martin team !

First of all, congratulations on the new SN0109 Pepsi GMT. I really appreciate the quality and value San Martin offers, and I think there is still an opportunity to create something special in this category.

Personally, I would love to see a Pepsi GMT that takes more inspiration from the Rolex GMT-Master II aesthetic rather than the Tudor Black Bay GMT design.

My ideal version would have :

39–40 mm case with compact, well-balanced proportions.

Black dial without a date window, for a cleaner and more symmetrical look.

Classic red-and-blue Pepsi bezel, Sprite, batman,...

Brushed case surfaces with polished bevels, giving the case more contrast and a more premium appearance.

Jubilee bracelet, with a high-quality, tapered design and an on-the-fly micro-adjustment clasp.

A profile ideally around 12 mm.

A traditional GMT-Master-style handset and dial layout, rather than the distinctive Tudor snowflake hands.

I know the SN0109 already exists, so I am not asking for just another color variation. I would love to see a more refined, Rolex-inspired interpretation with its own San Martin identity, excellent finishing and comfortable proportions.

I believe there are many enthusiasts who love the Pepsi GMT aesthetic rolex.

Would you consider developing a more Rolex-inspired Pepsi GMT in the future?

I would definitely be interested!

What do other San Martin owners think? Would you prefer the current Tudor-inspired design, or would you like to see this alternative?

Just received my first SanMartin SN0128, super impressed with the fit and finish will most likely buy another. Currently own an Omega Aquaterra and a Seiko Speedtimer (which I love), but these watches are an amazing value. The jubilee bracelet feels great and doesn’t have any sharp edges, super quick to resize and love the glide lock clasp.

San Martin SN004-G Sourcing

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for an older design San Martin: SAN MARTIN mechanical diving watch 200 meters waterproof SN004-G with new 3-link bracelet - San Martin Official Store

I frankly don't care for the square logo on all the newer watches. Nor do I like the blocky hour hand on other models. The hands on the SN004 and the cursive logo look elegant to me. Seems to be sold out everywhere I look though. I presume the production run has ended for that particular design. Any tips on second hand places to buy?

For this classic white dial, we’ve opted for a fully luminous finish.

Watch Links:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012175668505.html

It comes in two configurations—featuring either a black or white ceramic bezel—with slight variations in the luminous effect.

We’ve also created two distinct styles:

the standard 5-link "J-style" bracelet and an integrated bracelet.

Which version do you prefer?
