Hey guys, if you're interested in these very nice already very reasonably priced GMTs, they are about $100 off the usual discount price right now.

Check it out! $192.60 55%OFF | San Martin NH34 39mm BB GMT Luxury Men's Watches Business Dress Watch For Men Automatic Mechanical Sapphire Date Windows BGW9

I'm sure there are other San Martin models on sale as well. Just look carefully at the specs. Some of the GMT models have different dials (printed vs applied markers, etc) so know what you are buying.

I don't have one of these yet but did order one. Others have found the quality to be great and this sale price is awesome.

Some more info on San Martin's in the thread below.

I have 4 San Martins, 1 Cronos. Loved them to bits. I still wear them occasionally, when I don't wanna attract any attention or I know I'll be in a bad neighbourhood.

I also am strongly looking at Baltany..... their military chrono and 1926 oyster are literally some of the best value out there.

I've kinda numbed myself to Chinese watch brand names. Baltany is at least responsibly ok. Hruodland is the worst. Pagani Design is also down there at the bottom of the barrel names.

San Martin, Cronos, is fine. Their branding is fine at least, even though there's like 4 different variations of SM branding

I like this brand most amongst all chinese microbrands, for they indeed have excellent models (homages or copycats, sometimes socalled original designs). The level of finishing is outstanding.
I've never been disappointed. They are usually as expensive as reps (if you add VAT and taxes), but some models are definitely more appealing than a rep to me, for they show original and desirable variations.
Just ordered this explorer homage, with an NH34 GMT and beautiful dial.

Yeah those are great looking. In fact I tried to get one of those dials separately to make one myself but they are so popular they can hardly keep up with demand. So no extra dials to sell :(

2 other pictures showing the outstanding level of craftmanship.

Yeah, adjusting the bracelet was a breeze. No stuck screws that make you gouge up the screw heads. Caseback and crown threads are smooth. I took my movement out to measure the dial. Mine and yours (confirmed by vendor) are 31.5mm if anyone needs to know.

I am hoping SM issues a gold plated watch some day. though this 129 is really nice 😍 got me thinking
Yeah I love the 129 ice blue dial, but the red accents go better on the white dial.
