This one really bums me out. They somehow gave the 36mm 39mm proportions. Lugs way to thick and that bezel too! I understood going from 36-39 having to make those changes, but the opposite?!? They're 39 actually looks more proportional.
Regardless, San Martin makes a hell of a watch and they're customer service is top notch. I actually have BSH versions of the last 2 you posted. That vintage diver already was great, but now I am intrigued by the female end links.
Also, I love how they capped the seconds pinion on the BB homage. Just another step up from the competition. While SM may charge more than "similar" AliX vendors, they're difference in quality is off the charts. So Good.
Also, just as an FYI, the Seiko SKX013 jubilees fit these watches quite well and are of much better quality than the average AliX jubi.
