San Martin Vintage MM300 Automatic SN0087

The San Martin Vintage MM300 Automatic SN0087 is praised for its top-notch case and handset finishing, consistent with the brand's reputation. Despite its 44mm case and 14mm thickness, owners report it wears noticeably smaller and fits comfortably on a 7" wrist. Some owners find the design a "messy mixup" and note the lume is an "ugly yellow," preferring BGW9 over C3. One owner found the pin and collar bracelet difficult to resize, with the half-link prone to damage. Overall, owners rate the San Martin Vintage MM300 Automatic SN0087 highly for its impressive finishing and comfortable wearability despite its dimensions.

DOXA SUB 200 II

Owners widely report the DOXA SUB 200 II wears smaller than its 44mm case size suggests due to its shape and lug length, and praise its new fumé dials. Reviewers note the collection's retro style, 200m water resistance, and the inclusion of beige Super-LumiNova. Some owners and reviewers criticize the watch for increasing in size and price, going against current downsizing trends, and the Sellita SW200-1 movement's 38-hour power reserve is flagged as less competitive than others. The Milanese bracelet is also mentioned as a potentially divisive feature, and the lack of on-the-fly clasp adjustment is noted. Overall, owners and reviewers find the DOXA SUB 200 II appealing for its retro design and unique fumé dials, despite concerns about its size and price increase.
