I think they have more of these because how quickly the last Sangin sold and how stupid high people are asking on secondary.

I highly prefer the first TAD Sangin:

i checked this one out in person a few weeks ago. it was a really nice watch. but not the price point I would spend.

Sangin watches are available as of this writing. I snagged one, but I will probably try to use it as trade fodder for something that isn't as ugly.

Me too, worth checking out and it will be a super easy flip. Thanks for the heads up.
Cool. OOS now. that is a good sign.
They must have had a few from canceled orders cause it was out of stock yesterday when I looked in the evening.

i think he posted on IG there was a miscount. So that is why more were available.
Just got my tracking today.

Ok. It’s really not bad at all. Not the most original design obviously, but well built for sure.

They could lose the date (as always) and use 22mm lugs and I wouldn’t complain.

Fun fact. After however many dozens upon dozens of watches I’ve owned, this is the first GMT.

Had it in my cart, then killed the page. Was on the founders list for Sangin, and backed out. They’re just too small for my wrist.

If you can wear an Ares, I can’t imagine this would be too small. This particular one is 43.5. Does wear smaller, though. Bezel is 42mm, believe.

Didn’t realize it was that large- hmm. Just recall the original being 40mm, so I passed.

I haven't had a micro in a while, but the polished chamfers are a touch I wasn't expecting. I'd like to try a cheaper priced Sangin. At the standard model price point of around $500, I think these hit hard. It seems that at least 50% of these were purchased to be flipped on eBay. I'll wear mine for a while before deciding if a flip is in the future. I think my heart is set on a Benrus, so I will probably move this toward one of them once supply of both improves.

Agreed on the case. I also didn’t realize it was slightly asymmetric. I like that.
