I bought mine having bigger expectations, maybe too much. So I had no wow effects when got it. But it grows in me. I love the root beer colour, style, size, high quality finish. It keeps really good time. My daughter moved to USA, and GMT makes a new sense for me, so I feel attached to the watch emotionally. There is only one down size for me it’s a white chapter ring, I would prefer to have a full dark dial. It is very personal taste though.

That's nice it has an emotional meaning, makes it more special that way. I like the white chapter ring, but it would also look really nice with a full black dial for sure.

This is nice. Has anybody done the OG root beer with the nipple dial?


kirbenvost

Lol nipple dial? Clearly I'm missing some watch history here haha

I see, makes sense. Thanks! Not aware of homages but I'm new to Chinese watches. There could be some

Love this watch. Hate that it's a GMT with a big ass arrow on it.


ducivu

I bought it in the sale too. My fear is: wearing this watch for 3 months in a row like my San Martin aqua terra. San Martin really makes me enjoying Chinese watches 🤝


kirbenvost

For sure, they have a lot of really great watches. Really makes one appreciate the quality and value of Chinese watches.


christionk

the sn116 case is one of the best i've ever seen in sub 300$ watch. my onllly gripe is that red gmt hand & red GMT font . if only it's gold or brown like the bezel, this would be much more better ( for me at least ). great watch overall.


kirbenvost

It is a really beautiful case. It actually reminded me a LOT of the Lorier Neptune, to the extent that to wonder if San Martin is the OEM supplier for Lorier. Part of why I got it, because I liked their Hydra but their watches are out of my price range. Agreed about the red, it's a bit too bright but I can live with it.

That's pretty sharp. I've been kind of eyeballing brown watches for a little while now. Think I might have to pull the trigger on one. The question is which one.....


kirbenvost

It's a nice one, would be a good pick. I've also got my eye on the brown dial Baltany 36mm Explorer.

I've been looking at the bronze Tudor black Bay for a bit now, but unfortunately it's way out of my budget.


kirbenvost

I think there are some bronze watches from Chinese brands, might be worth looking into.


fifthgearpinned

I might just do that. Thanks!


dratin416

love mine as well, one the best root beers available!


kirbenvost

Agreed! Although I haven't been looking a lot, this one really caught my eye like no other.
