I hope you all enjoyed the video.
Subsequent to filming the review, there was one more thing I really like (Pukka); the date shape… It’s almost the same exact size as the indices that would be there if it was a non date watch - Very nice.
Thanks for watching guys and girls 👍👍
Enough of its own thing and looks very well made.
Very true my friend and I’m glad you like it 👍👍
They sure have utilized this case I continue to love most of what they have been offering us for past couple of years and I'm even happier that they finally started using much better bracelets most of mine are on rubber straps and they will customize certain aspects for reasonable rates Thanks for sharing as always my friend and Be well 👍
It’s a beautiful case and they are most certainly doing some very, very good things now. Many thanks for watching my friend 👍👍
I'm not much for direct homages, but this watch is really striking! It's definitely on my short list. Thank you for the excellent and enjoyable review, as usual.
BTW...if I can make one constructive criticism...spend more time on the close-up shots of the watch. It would take things to a whole other level!
Many thanks for watching and for the suggestion mate, I’ll be sure to concentrate a bit more on close ups in the future 👍👍
Nice watch, I have to disagree the hour hand is short at least one mm to me. That really bugs me. I have passed on several watches where the watch maker can’t get the hand lengths right.
No problem mate, that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. Thanks for your honesty and for watching 👍👍
It's hard for me to not be attracted to this one because the dial and hands come from one of my favorite watches (Zodiac Super Sea Wolf). I actually own 3 of the originals in different colors. I may pick this up one day because I don't have this colorway, and I don't have another $1,000 to buy another new one! Great review as always bro, and Happy Holidays to you and your family! 🎅🏼🦌
Ah nice one mate, you definitely have good taste, no doubt. Happy holidays to you and yours as well my man 👍👍
That’s an awesome watch. Proxima keep putting out winners. Thanks for the great review.
I completely agree mate, Proxima are becoming a firm favourite of mine with such nice and well made watches. Thanks for watching man 👍👍
Nice review. Interesting watch. Thanks!
Cheers mate. I’m glad you like the watch as well 👍👍
I stacked some coupons and ordered one of these during the sale for around 200 bucks..
After about 3 days Proxima sent an email saying that they ran out of them and it was going to be the first of the year before they get any more in and in the meantime they would send me a free strap...
All the time still advertising the same watch...
I canceled the order
That is crazy, I’m sorry to hear about your experience and if that is the case, they shouldn’t be advertising the watch as ‘available’. Thanks for your honest feedback 👍👍
@@WatchtheTimeI know it ..I really like it ...
@andrewlineberger7544 I spoke with Proxima and they were overwhelmed with the popularity of this particular model during the 11.11 sale, they told me that they will have the next batch ready on 20th December. Apologies for any inconvenience mate 👍👍
Ah this watch is a beauty! I love it! 🤪
It sure is mate. I’m really glad you like it too 👍👍
Great review of a beautiful watch. While I was watching, I couldn't help thinking that now they've ditched the unicorn, Proxima have the best dial branding of any AliExpress watch. If we can't always have great original designs, then these homage with a twist are a good substitute.
I completely agree on both counts mate and Proxima is slowly become my favourite brand on AliExpress 👍👍
I love this watch I want to get in the sales great video mate
It’s a cracker mate and I have no doubt you’ll love it, it’s an absolute favourite in my personal collection. Thanks for watching man 👍👍
It's a beaut this one... I really want to see Proxima offer other bracelets. As much as the 3 link is nice, it's just so.... Ordinary and overdone for me. They'd be knocking on San Martins door if they had a bit more choice with their offerings
I think you’re bang on mate. With a few more additions etc Proxima will be on a different level as they are doing some excellent stuff 👍👍
Looks the business! I like that orange. Great review as always
It’s a stunner mate. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Love this Creamsicle color! The handset pops nicely too, and I really dig the crystal distortions and bezel insert.
I’m glad you like it mate and I hope you’re well 👍👍
Too Much expensive for me thank you anyway for the video.
No problem mate. Thanks for watching anyway, I really appreciate it 👍👍
They include half-links? OMG Proxima - I love you!!!
It does indeed mate, makes things much, much easier to get that perfect fit 👍👍
I just became aware of this brand. So clean and good looking. I hope they have a sale soon or something. I really want the PX1697
They are a very good brand that make exceptional watches IMO. The PX1697 is a great piece as well, good choice 👍👍
Ordered this during the 11/11 and can’t wait for it to arrive. Easily the best review of this watch so far. Thank you, sir.
You’ll love it mate and I really appreciate your kind words, thank you 👍👍
@@WatchtheTimeunfortunately my order was cancelled and a refund issued. I suspect they didn’t have stock to fulfill orders. I’m very disappointed as this watch is by far my favourite I’ve seen on Ali. 😢
@chad.haggerty really sorry to hear that mate. I’ll give them a message and see what can be done 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime they’ve been very responsive. I’ll likely end up reordering once the refund is processed. It appears that they’ve extended their 11.11 prices (to some degree) and frankly, this watch seems worth it.
@chad.haggerty it sure is mate. You’ll love it when you eventually receive it 👍👍
There is an argument that the minute hand is a tad short but nonetheless this is the best looking Proxima to date!! Perhaps the sterile crown an clasp outer shell can count as pants. I'd like more colours like lime green, red or light blue.
I take your point and there is definitely an argument to have over that. In terms of the sterile elements, I’ve stopped mentioning that stuff due to get quite a bit of criticism for doing so, I don’t disagree with you though. Other colour variations like a range of this model, would be a great idea 👍👍
I think this is amazing. Im really considering pulling the trigger!
It’s a stunner mate, no doubt and one I’m really happy to have in my personal collection now. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Love that orange! The watch suits you mate! Enjoy. 🤙
Many thanks man, this is most certainly a keeper. I hope all is well with you 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime No probs fella! Yeah, all good on my end, deep in the edit of my next vid.
Coming soon lol.. ⌚
@MrAdamNewland I look forward to seeing it mate 👍👍
Just got mine, I have the 1697 also and the screwdriver they sent with both of them was too large lol. Amazing watch. Wish they would add a full lumed dial in white, against the blue it would look great.
At least it’s not just me that got the wrong screwdriver mate. A full lume dial would be very cool but wouldn’t look as good as enamel, so is a bit of a trade off 👍👍
Well done Zodiac dial & Christopher Ward case fusion/hommage.
It has most certainly drawn inspiration from other watches mate 👍👍
Good keeper
I’m glad you like it mate as do I 👍👍
Very sharp watch. What is it a homage too? Does Proxima runs sales, hoping to get this for less than the current $270 price tag.
It is taking inspiration from a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf and yes, there tends to be a few sales so keep your eyes peeled my friend 👍👍
so are the only upgrades the signed crown and the updated clasp? All the links on aliexpress still have the smooth crown
I don’t think it has a signed crown mate. The only upgrade I’m aware of is; their on the fly adjustable clasp but still, a great upgrade 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime sorry i replied to the wrong video. Someone just made a video about a version 2
@tomcarey3457 no problem mate. V2 of what watch??
@@WatchtheTime this watch px1703 has a signed crown now
Nice watch, did the £229 price include the VAT?
Thankfully on watches over £135 AliExpress doesn’t include any tax so that would be the full price but, at the minute it’s quite a bit cheaper than that 👍👍
Pukka review mate😎
Many thanks mate, I appreciate that 👍👍
Will this take a San Martin on-the-fly adjustable clasp?
I couldn’t say for certain but the dimensions definitely look similar 👍👍
Hour hand and minute hand looks short, they should have made it bit long. Its a deal breaker to me,,, or else I would have ordered one.
I don’t mind it but others have said the same. They may have upgraded the hands on current versions 👍👍
1/10 the price of a zodiac and the next watch im saving up for. $50 put away off of every check 2 more weeks and itll be on its way cant wait.
It now also has an on the fly adjust clasp and for me, is an absolute must have watch 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime I thought I saw that in the listing that will be sweet it’ll be the first watch I have that has the on the fly adjustment. Also I wanted to say ur channel is a big reason y I started buying watches. I really like ur honest videos thanks for the great content.
@Shifftymking ah thanks man - I really appreciate that 👍👍
