Watchlords

The AMCHPR spring 2024 watch purchasing spree nears its end, with just one last piece to come after this. Here's the newly arrived San Martin 37mm SN0120 quartz chrono:



Details: 37mm w/o crown; 46mm lug-to-lug; 12mm thick; 20mm lugs; sapphire crystal w/AR; bead-blasted stainless case (w/anti-fingerprint coating), screw-down crown; 100m WR; VK61 quartz chrono movement. It came on a decent black NATO but it's now on a Fluco Record strap.

Sure, I'll take guesses on what's gonna be last of the spree

Another nice one. Is it a chronograph? (sorry, conj). I guess the last one will be a great-looking San Martin I've never seen.

Nice looking watch!

My only problem with San Martin is the trainwreck of a website they have. Hard to navigate and find what you want. And you know they have it; they seem to sell hundreds of models of watches.

And of course, the watch you present is not to be found on their website.

Ohh yeah, I really like that one. 37m is too small for me but it looks perfect on yo wrist. Great score.

It looks like its available here: https://sanmartinwatchstore.com/product ... ield-watch, and there are a few available on AliX but I think the model is discontinued.

There is a used one on Chrono24 right now, though, too.

Thank you! I just checked the dial and my description, so I think...yes, it's a chronograph--but maybe Conj knows for sure.

Re: 'My only problem with San Martin is the trainwreck of a website they have," it may be more accurate to say "train wreck *websites* because they have a few.

My understanding is that sanmartin-watch.com is the official/official site and the others are authorized and legit agents, but I could be mistaken (the link goes to San Martin's Watchuseek account stating the official site). I've purchased from sanmartin-watches with zero issue, but I've also purchased from Aliexpress, and would trust most of the SanMartin sites. Chinese companies have very weird distribution compared to western companies.

Thanks for the information, Alberta Time. I was looking at www.sanmartinwatches.com and there's also https://www.sanmartin.watch/

strange indeed.

Yep, one is the official site & the other is a warehouse distributer.
