So much going on with this one, but if you are a member of the 60 million strong Chinese diaspora and love watches, this is a bit of a must for the next 12 months. What on earth are they going to do for Snake? Or Rabbit? Not quite as cool. Chhers, Jody

It's nice to see a Chinese brand wear its culture on its sleeve rather than shy away from it. This is a stunner, although I wish the bezel was black.

Mine got delivered today, it's sitting safely in my mailbox and I'm sitting at work, suffering...

This is why these reviews are so important. It looks a lot darker in person than in the pictures. Brilliant watch! Also got the even more brilliant email that the Erebus Origins are being shipped out early!👍🏼

Refreshing to see the brighter watches, i like it, makes a great change .

[douglascheesman]

My showed up yesterday. It’s a great looking watch. Wears well and that beads of rice bracelet is unreal comfortable.

I have a San Martin bronze pilot and it's starting to show a nice patina. I'm thinking a bronze version of the Dragon would be spot on.

Seeing San Martin finally create original designs and openly embrace its culture is beautiful. It'll still be some years before I consider owning a San Martin since my brain still associates them with homages, but this one is beautiful and original. 10/10 watch

[daveho]

a pity: if they used 2-24 on the bezel replacing the dots, they could keep its GMT function intact. and actually Zi is at 23:00 not 24:00, thus, it’s perfectly correct to do so.

I’m so happy with this review Jody! 🙏🏻 I’m one of those 220 people who (pre-)ordered one and mine is almost here! Just a bit extra excited now for it to arrive! 🥳 Happy new year! 🐉

[younusimam-thesalamproject]

I actually really like the oversized seconds hand! Really nice. I hate any form of gold personally but it was the right choice here!

[MichaelPlum]

Wearing mine on my wrist as I watch this! Beautiful piece

[lkdenve]

Very cool looking watch. Not sure it suits me, but I like the look.

[ceskyler]

I love Chinese culture despite being Mexican and I think this watch is awesome, I have the Avocado Color of this one and is wow even if it have a little fabric misalignment (quality control 7/10). I have also lots of Chinese watches, Sea-Gull, San Martin, Sugess, ADDIESDIVE, Ciga Design, Boderry, Paganis, even one NaviForce... All of them working properly and super precise (I repeate, ALL OF THEM).

[Razor_Burn]

Happy and prosperous New Year of the 🐉JOMW family!!!

[Steve.Alex]

Gong hei fat choi Jody! Wishing you wealth and prosperity in the year of the dragon!

I really hope san martin does continue to make lunar new year edition watches! Almost wish they did it 2 years ago, I was born in the year of the tiger and would absolutely love to have a watch to represent that!

[HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

This does look good... But I still personally think that it would have looked even better with the gold around the edge of the bezel. Like they showed in a poll on Reddit, as a possible option.

[oceanzu]

“子丑寅卯辰巳午未申酉戌亥”
the writing on the bezel actually corresponds to 24 hours, while every two hours are assigned a specific name.
😂

[technoboy]

I have the OG torquiese and it's one of my favorite watches. Looks great, the build is great and the bracelet is so comfortable. I'd recommend any of the various color options to anyone.

[glennpettersson]

Of the watches you have reviewed recently I think this is the one that appeals to me most.

[mildmannerededc]

Appreciated that Double Dragon pun. 🐉 🐲 🎮
