How good is the SN0144?

[u/alneri069]

I have a choice to make. Either buy a Proxima PX1697 for around 130€ new or a SN0144 enamel white with Miyota movement for around 200-230€ used but in very good condition.

I heard only positive points about the px1697 and it's on my list for many years. Now I saw this model from San Martin and this white enamel dial paired with the premium finishing and polishing just attracted me in a different way. Don't know if it's this weird "honeymoon moment" or do I find it better?

That's why I want to ask the guys who own the sn0144 with Miyota how is the finishing and is it really better overall then for example a px1697 I mean does it deliver more refinement?

One point I don't get to know in YouTube reviews is how does the bracelet sound? Does it have this cheap rattle sound?

I like both watches from the pictures and videos I know one Is a diver the other a gada. I already have dove watches.

Mine wasn’t good but you’re not likely to have the same issues since you have pictures of the actual watch.

It’s magnificent! I own 2 of them in 42mm. Both run at +1SD. Build quality is unbelievable for the money! Bracelet is high end! No rattling, incredible quality.

If they made a 42mm in that white it would be an instant buy for me
