- Is the San Martin SN017 a real dive watch?
- Yes. It is rated to 200 m and has a screw-down crown and caseback, so it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. It is not a certified professional dive instrument.
- What movement does the SN017 use?
- It uses the Seagull ST2130, an automatic Chinese movement based on the ETA 2824-2 design. It hacks, hand-winds and runs at 28,800 beats per hour.
- How does it compare with a real Submariner?
- It copies the Submariner's look and proportions but uses a Chinese movement and lacks Rolex's brand, materials and service network. It is a homage, not a replica with Rolex markings.
- Will the 12.7 mm case and 190 mm bracelet fit me?
- The 12.7 mm thickness wears flat under a cuff, and the 190 mm bracelet fits most wrists with spare links. Very large wrists may need extra links.
- Is the SN017 worth it over other homages?
- It is one of the better-finished Submariner homages, with a proven movement and a real 200 m rating. Competing homages may offer sapphire or better bracelets, so compare specs.
