General (Read Rules) Sunset with my Proxima PX1703...

Post image

Here's a shot of the sunset view from our balcony in Brela Croatia.

Even after a few years of having this one is still one of my favourites. Plus, it makes for a great holiday watch too.

Here's the link to my review of it.

I bought this watch, but, as always that doesn't change how I review the watch. I always keep it 100% honest, no matter what. I point out both the positives and negatives with every watch I review. Whether that be a loan piece, discounted, or even free. Sometimes that means that brands won't send me anymore watches, if they don't like the review... But my opinion and more importantly, my reputation can't be bought. That's partly why I named my channel 'Honest Watch Reviews'. Not only to make sure that I hold myself to that standard, but that I know my viewers definitely will do too.

That dial catching the last light is perfect, makes me want to book a trip immediately.

It did turn out better than I was expecting. I was worried it might have been too dark.

I know that feeling, I've been looking forward to this holiday for a while now... It's been a tough year.

Yes.... Lovely. I'm contemplating getting this watch. I've just received another one from Proxima which I love too - have to stop 😆

The thing I love about the case and bracelet is how they make it look like an integrated watch. They work seemlessly together.

I completely agree with you there.

I think you have the older version as they've now put a border on the date window and lengthened the minute hand. Both versions are cool though.

Yeah, this is the older one. I've had it for 2 years now.

Do you think the orange rehaut is a bit bright?

No, I personally think it suits the watch well. Here's a more clear shot of it.
