It's a true alternative to San Martin. In some areas its qualities are nearly as good and in some areas such as lume they're even better. But Sugess are asking for less money including the quick adjust clasp. By the way in some instances the homage brands anticipate future colour versions of the real watch. Nice review Steve!

I think it looks best on the black rubber strap - really get that black/white "stormtrooper" look popping. Very nice crisp fit and finish. A deal-breaker for me is a really pedantic thing and that is the coloring of the dial text. The GMT part should be what is orange, and not the depth rating!!! Also as you pointed out, the color of orange doesn't match. Small things but they would irk me so much when looking at the dial that I just can't pull the trigger on this one. The San Martin gets these two things right.

Just about the same, really. Pagani may seem a little bigger because of the bracelet taper (down to 18mm vs 16mm on sugess) and Chrono pushers. But the case itself, thickness, how it hugs the wrist. Very similar. And having put them on one after the other, the step up in quality is quite a bit higher on the sugess.
