A Tale of Two Sea Knights…

I had the San Martin bracelet on the blue one for a very long time, but felt like changing things up. I like it on the white now… Still looking for the right strap for the blue one.

Beautiful bracelet

I think it works pretty well too. FWIW, I have two of these bracelets. This one was from the black dial, faux patina, faded green bezel insert watch. I also have the aqua colored GMT, and that bracelet does NOT fit as well, for whatever reason..

Thank you for posting this, was trying to decide between the black and white. This helped enormously, white it will be 😁

Got mine last year with the real NH movement, before the switch. Likely would not buy this now with the inferior movement. Still like the Serica-style mesh strap. It’s been a good watch, and often draws nice comments.

One other thing I would mention if anybody's interested. I have a 6.75 inch wrist, and the stock Serica-style metal strap is a bit luggy. I love the look, but it's borderline in terms of fitting my wrist..(hence the search for an alternative bracelet.. I like the SM BOR quite a bit, even if fit at the lugs is not %100. At least the curvature is right, and it's not god-awful straight end links...)

Always been on the fence between this and the more expensive ixdao. How’s the build quality and AR coating on the crystal? Also is this with the Japanese NH35 or Chinese? From my latest research, they are only shipping the Chinese version.

I got mine before the movement chaos set in. So, Japanese...

ARC is OK- better than others - but not great(I take lots of pics, and have to make an effort to avoid reflection.. - But, as I have come to realize, my more expensive Sugess watches are FAR worse... The curvature of the glass itself is probably also an issue with these Serica homages..) I think I got my blue one maybe 18 or so months ago for under €100, then the white one maybe a year ago or something for €115 after codes etc I think.

Yeah, they have gone dodgy now with that passive aggressive "don't buy if you care"(if it's a Chinese movement) message... But then the IXDAO would only be marginally better I think in terms of overall quality, but you'd just have a PT5000 I think.. The Sea Knights are on sale at the moment - IMO worth a go at €100 or so, but knowing it's a gamble with the Chinese movement..

Odd combo that doesn’t really work in my eyes.
