Great watches and exceptional customer service
I recently purchased a San Martin SN0017-G from San Martin Europe/Germany. I was pretty impressed with the finishing and overall quality, especially compared to some Japanese watches in the same price range. Unfortunately, I noticed that the movement was running considerably slower than it should. The shipping box it arrived in was pretty beat up, typical DHL handling, so my assumption is that may have knocked it out of spec.
I contacted their customer service and quickly received a friendly response from Sebastian, who arranged a prepaid DHL return so they could inspect the watch.
What really impressed me was how quickly everything was handled. I sent the watch back on Tuesday, and by Saturday they'd already received it, arranged a replacement, and prepared it for shipping. They even took the time to transfer the clasp from my original watch to the replacement.
I've dealt with warranty services from much more established watch brands/ADs, and I can honestly say this has been one of the fastest and most pleasant experiences I've had.
It's easy to be happy with a purchase when everything goes right. For me, how a company handles things when something goes wrong says much more about them.
A big thank you to Sebastian and the team. You've definitely earned yourselves a returning customer, and I'll happily recommend you to others!
