For sure the choice for the orange is far better, that ring made the difference, it's beautiful, you can use at any moment and I believe that's not a homage. It can use some elements but has soul. For the final decision about the other one, I prefer the black outer ring. It's classy. I really like the way you talk about watches! Greetings from Brazil!
Excellent review of the Proxima PX 1703 with interesting story. Thank you for your friendly approach with the details in reference to the watch. I like watches and may likely get the mentioned Proxima watch. Most of my watches are by San Martin some Seestern and some by Orient. One of my favorite is the Orient M Force that I purchased around 2016 also have a couple of Phoibos watches. Best regards. Rick in Florida.
They updated it. The dial date window is black now. And handsets are longer. Now, they need few more things done. 1) Give it a lumed date wheel 2) Add '200m WR' text (or somethig like that) so that dial doesn't feel empty 3) Make more colorways of this model. And it would be 10/10.
Exacly the same happened to me right down the the messages and dates. Very glad I waited as it is a great watch for the money. I knew it would be a great fit on the wrist as the case is completely different to the Sea Wolf with much shorter lugs but similar to the Christopher Ward light catcher case which is very comfortable. The 2 other Proxima watches you mention are also based on the CW case and are a mashup of their Dune and Aquataine ranges. If it was me I'd get the bezel version.
Watch brands exist over 150+ years they made over 100000 different watches , so off course some watches will look similar duhhhh . Why people always jumping 😠 hating and sh!t it's an original watch ⌚ and if you like and makes you feel good then F all them other haters
The first 8.5 minutes of the video barely showed the watch. 8min on youtube is an eternity and people will click off if it seems like all you're doing is talking. Do your intro maybe with it on your wrist then voice over Hi-res pics or video you took or handle it. I wish you and your channel well!
I enjoyed the story about your buying experience.
Thanks. Turning out to be one of my favorite watches.

Thanks for the recommendation and I agree that it looks great. Thanks for watching my video.
It really does look better than the Zodiac! Loved the detailed video!
This is one of my favourite watches!! Mine arrived last week
I think the dial, Hands, and bezel insert are taken from the Seawolf, and the case/crown/bezel/bracelet is largely taken from Christopher Ward
Nice work. Very Engaging :)
Thanks a lot!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice watch Gary, orange isn’t my color but I like the rest of it.
Is that a micro adjustment that slides on the bracelet?
They updated it.
The dial date window is black now.
And handsets are longer.
Now, they need few more things done.

3) Make more colorways of this model. And it would be 10/10.
Do you have a model number as I didn’t see anything new on AliExpress.

Glad you enjoyed the video including the story part. Also happy to hear it is not the same as the Sea Wolf. I'm leaning towards the bezel.
Nice video, glad it worked out!
Yeah thanks
Great review and that a nice looking watch keep up the great content from a grumpy old man in manchester UK
Thanks, will do!
Did you buy it 225 without coupons and discounts? Asking to see the price difference from last years 11.11
I will be receiveing mine next week. Good review. Think you should get both😂
Good choice! I have worn this watch everyday since receiving it.
Keep the orange one the hands don’t pop on the other two 🤷♂️
I wore it in the pool this week and it really pops with the orange.

I looked at the SeaWolf and to me it doesn’t look like it. But that is just me.

I agree. I skipped most of the early parts and went to where he showed the watch. Viewers really have a short attention span.
Completely agree.
Very true.
Sorry, but I couldn't resist telling the story as I think it was a big part of getting this watch.
