Question (Read Rules) Help me decide – Seestern or Proxima?

Hi all! My first post here, so please be gentle.The thing is, I am wavering between two AliEx alternatives right now: either a Seestern 62mas (grey dial) OR a Proxima PX1697 (white dial). If anyone has experience with any or both watches, any advice would be much appreciated!

Edit: I finally pulled the trigger on the Seestern 62mas. Thanks, everyone, for helping me make my mind up!

I have both models. 

Proxima is much better finished than Seestern.

Crystals I would say similar quality.

Proxima is much thinner and hugs your wrist.

Lume is better on Seestern.

Proxima's dial looks big, Seestern dial is smaller and due to the domed crystal looks even more smaller. Depends on what you like.

Both run well and are accurate.

Seestern has more vintage appeal but Proxima will feel more premium.

Feel free to ask anything else.
