For the price and from what I have read on the forum posted by those who own them, not a bad deal for an affordable watch. Like a couple of them in bronze.

 Yeah, I was looking at a Flieger-style and the only description for the movement was "automatic." Honestly, that's it.

Sure.
Depending on availability, they use NH35/PT5000/SW200 in their Flieger-style watches. Have one inbound from the 11/11 AliExpress sale. Bronze model at 39mm. Sweet size and I have no doubt it will be well made.

Have found that most Chinese sellers/watch companies are more than willing to try to answer questions when asked. Seems that the language barrier sometimes interferes with the way they list watches.

I read somewhere that shipping is a disaster if you buy direct from them due to the coronavirus.

I like that San Martin manufactures their own design and not simply marketing homages of regular watches,
like this fresh idea of theirs :Beerbang:
I've zeen nith design before.

Have owned a couple of San Martins and a Heimdallr. The Heimdallr is better in all ways.

They are not all made in the same factory. Proxima watch factory isn’t producing yet as is in Hubei, if I recall correctly.

 So, for those who have purchased some of these, what are your impressions of the brand?
I like the two bronze fliegers I have; one is an automatic, the other a manual wind. They look good and the leather straps are very nice for the price. Paid less than $200 for each of them.

And the Lume is lovely.

The bronze has turned a pretty uniform brown now. I'm not going to polish them up; just leave them as they are.
