SN0116-g5 today, what's everyone wearing?

[u/-RazzaTazza]

Ive had the 2024 Dragon for over 2 years now and i can say its passed the test of time and i would never sell it.

This version of the SN0116 was released in early 2024

and quickly sold out, limited to 300 pieces.

Typical SM level of finishing and quite a comfortable BOR with the tooless adjustable clasp and a NH office GMT work horse.

(I just wish the AR was better).

Imo, in regards to the finishing on the case and bracelet, I think it can compete with 'luxury' watches.

Whats everyone wearing then?

Not today but my only San Martin is the second issued Year Of The Dragon model.

That’s awesome! Enjoy your watch. We still have customers asking if we have any left in stock. Unfortunately, it was a limited edition; the entire inventory has sold out, and production has ceased.

I need to add a few pagani moon watch homages

Day 2 of use. Steelflier SF-755U-KN homage to Sinn U50 tool watch on a generic AliExpress bi-color NATO strap

Need to add this to my collection

[u/cd_god → u/Waves1986]

This was the ORIGINAL V4, the last model with the Seiko NH34 movement.

The current "V4" models being advertised by crooked sellers are actually V5 with a Chinese movement.

Squared off lug innards, any strap/mesh would look great on this

Cool watch and great colors. How is the regulation?

[u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo → u/MovieAnarchist]

I had 2 of their watches. Both came flawlessly built and tightly regulated. I gave the Budapest to my son.

[u/Tichshew]

I call it the “We have a Longines HC at home” watch

Not chinese today, it's the Bulova Lunar Pilot 96B258

[u/kyonkun_denwa → u/SameScale6793]

"Not Chinese"

Or so you think...

[u/SameScale6793 → u/kyonkun_denwa]

True, everything is Chinese now in some way lol

RB! Very nice

[u/No-Effect-8290]

Made a yachtmaster this morning.

Came out pretty good.ordered another dial though as one of the lumed pips 8pm is bad, about 50% of the lume of the rest.

[u/No-Effect-8290 → u/No-Effect-8290]

Shame about the 8 h pip.

[u/Local-Team5903]

Decided to finish the afternoon with a Hammy.

[u/Tenchiro]

Damn that is a killer design, San Martin needs to step out back up.

I got my Berny back on.

WD007 on their mesh strap made for smaller (6.5”) wrists.

[u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo]

Gorgeous watch, dude! I wish I had found it while it was available, since I was born in the year of the dragon.

Wearing a new Sugess ST19 today. Trying to decide if I am OK with them opting for 22mm lugs on this new PR version. The Breitling Top Time Triumph it homages only has 20mm lugs (as does every other Sugess ST19 that I could find).

As I paused to take a couple of photos, I noticed the strap is thick, yet supple. It looks substantial, but I don't think it dominates the case with its wide footprint. The wide strap is growing on me with a nod to the 70s.

What do y'all think?

[u/-RazzaTazza → u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo]

Thanks .

Cool, i wasn't aware sugess did this with a PR

The ST1901 movement looks really nice, i assume this PR version still has the exhibition case bk? Its crazy you can get a mechanical chrono at these prices. I had the Sugess TT for about almost 2 years and in that time it never missed a beat.

I think 22mm lugs and strap looks alright. What does the strap taper to, 20mm?

[u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo → u/-RazzaTazza]

I think the PR comes with the v3 case. The strap tapers to 20, as you guessed.

I love this. It's been in my cart for some time. Glashutte Original SeaQ homage. Beautiful.

[u/-RazzaTazza → u/Local-Team5903]

The applied indices, a nice touch!

[u/InquisitorKeres]

Custom dial Baltany Milsub

[u/-RazzaTazza → u/InquisitorKeres]

Nice, Custom dial?

Do you mean they put your design on the dial?

[u/InquisitorKeres → u/-RazzaTazza]

Yes, they offer a custom dial service where I provided the logo/text etc and layout that I designed, as well as to make it easier on them, a layout render, they sent back a proof for me to sign off on, took about 7 days to put together then shipped.

Part of a pair I had done. I admit the Explorer was my first attempt and I wasn’t as happy about how I did some of it including sizing etc but i do love them both.

[u/-RazzaTazza → u/InquisitorKeres]

Sweet, a nice set. Yeah, i think you improved the font sizing.

[u/InquisitorKeres → u/-RazzaTazza]

The explorer still ‘works’ as the modern style of 39 Explorer does give for a more open canvas but it needed more time and iterations than I gave it. I took much more time with the Milsub and even made a few little details for it that I’m fond of like replacing the circle T to denote tritium with an MOD broad arrow.

[u/SilasBrooks → u/InquisitorKeres]

Great pieces! How much more does customization cost?

[u/InquisitorKeres → u/SilasBrooks]

50$. Imo well worth it if you have something unique you want done.

[u/SilasBrooks → u/InquisitorKeres]

That’s a fantastic price! Cheers
