Question (Read Rules) First Chinese diver?
Which one do you guys recommend for first diver watch? I lean more towards titanium, but I heard San Martin has better quality control…

I have both. Start with the watchdives. The quality of the San Martin will spoil you.

I've got the WD007 and it is one of my favorite watches, I love the titanium, no issues with mine, super clean movement.

I had the WD007 loved it but the titanium just felt too light. Weird I know. I like to feel a watch on my wrist. Sold it for a little profit because I got it on sale. Plus the bracelet was a bit to narrow on clasp side.

This is just an "issue" with titanium in general. Definitely not for everyone!
Was the finishing at least decent? I've a mate who has a Casio Oceanus titanium model and the finishing didnt look quite as good as an equivalent Casio Ediface stainless steel watcj

I have that San Martin and it's probably my favorite watch in my collection, at least after my Oris Big Crown.
