San Martin Luxury Sapphire NH35 Automatic Mechanical Vintage Men's Watch 38mm Luminous Diver 6200

The watch looks good. Finishing is generally good, perhaps edges are slightly too sharp, but still okay. My main complaint is with the screwed links of the bracelet. These are a major pain to remove. I'm guessing they are glued in place with some kind of tread lock. It took me at least an hour to adjust the length for my wrist, and there is always a risk of scratching something, if screw drivers slip from the hard-to-turn screws. Most YouTube reviewers tell us that screwed links are high quality, but I disagree. Screws are either a pain to remove, or if they are too loose, they may come out. Friction pins are a better solution in my opinion. The photo shows the watch on the included nylon strap. The watch was advertised to use the NH35 movement. When I opened the back, I discovered that it contains the NH36A movement instead, see the attached photo. This is not a big deal because they are identical, except that the NH36A has day and date, while NH35A has only date, and this watch does not use these complications. More of a concern is that the rotor does not indicate the country of origin. Traditionally, NHXX movements have either Japan or Malaysia edged into the rotor. Where was this movement manufactured? Is it a genuine NH36A authorized by Seiko? Or is it a counterfeit movement?

After almost a month of waiting - due to my country's terrible customs- it was very well worth it. The product good! Runs amazingly well around even COSC specs with the workhorse movement NH35 that is regulated. It runs +-3 a day! Bezel slightly misaligned just a little bit (literally little) but overall QC is very good! The bracelet was manufactured well but I opted not use it and just fitted the watch with a vintage handmade distressed strap. They also gave me all the papers (warranty, manuals, etc), some tools, locktight, a free nato (due to the sale I believe). The communication after sales is really really good - actually unheard of for an AliExpress vendor. Obviously, an agent is connected to deal with me but still the after sales customer service is very good! Just ask away in the chat if you have more questions about the watch and if you have problems with it. Generally, I am very happy to report that I am happy with the watch and will definitely buy again from San Martin.

it's a nice watch. Looks good on my 7 inch wrist. Fast shipping. Arrived in two weeks. But sizing the bracelet was very difficult. Cut up my finger doing it. Now the bracelet is all scratched up. Probably need to go pay a visit to the watch repairer for help. The tools provided simply wore out and chipped. Now am wearing it on a rubber strap. So happy to receive the watch especially with female end links. Just disappointed about not being able to adjust the bracelet. Had it for a day and the built quality is reassuring. The bezel action is as good as a Tudor Black Bay Heritage divers. I have kind of forgotten about my troubles with the bracelet as this watch goes well with some of the straps I already have. This is my best purchase with Aliexpress so far. And my 2nd San Martin. I wonder if San Martin has a bracelet without those rivet screws that are so fiddly.

Good watch.

very nice watch, bracelet good but a bit hard to adjust.
