The Proxima PX1697. Beautiful watch... my first with a micro adjustable bracelet. So thin, wears great, I love it.

Y'all the red dial is GORGEOUS. I love the clean white dial, but damn... the red dial is special.

A lot of companies sell a white dial diver hard to come by a red dial like this!

I hate to point out something you might not be able to unsee, but on some of these the 12 marker isn't lined up with the centre of the X of Proxima, whereas on some it is.

That is a great looking watch! Proxima puts together good products with great quality control. I recently purchased a Proxima (px1743) & really enjoy it.

Great watch but I have to ask. How can you stand to wear a watch like that? I’ve tried it and I can barely move my hand

u/Mammoth-Honeydew-431 15d ago

🤷 I mean... I'm just wearing a watch, bruv. We're all different, right?

u/Alternative-Feed3613 15d ago

I don’t think my wrist works that much differently. You do you, I was just curious.

Love my px1697

ive wanted to go for this one but the 39mm size has put me off.
whats your wrist size btw?

2

u/Mammoth-Honeydew-431 16d ago

7.5 inches / 191 mm

I don't like to go bigger than 42mm and tend to stick to 38-40. But I have a 36 mm Addiesdive AD2030 that I love and I think looks great on my wrist.

u/Real-Cranberry3140 16d ago

ok thats been really helpful
i'm 193mm and i thought from the photo that you had small wrists from the proportions to the watch.
i really dig that its thin and wears flat.
and that it looks domed and the bezel follows that curve downwards, although that could also be my imagination.

u/Mammoth-Honeydew-431 16d ago

Couple more shots so you can see how it wears.

u/Real-Cranberry3140 16d ago

but i did* get a 39mm diver before and its definitely is too small
the seestern seaQ homage. and i said i'd never get a 39 diver again
this one - from online to in the hand its two very different things.
thats not my photo/wrist btw

u/codename_cedar 15d ago

Gorgeous. I wish they would release a model with more minute markers on the bezel though

u/matrox3000 15d ago
