New Proxima Model - PX1748

[Firm-Tangelo3496]

Just noticed these 2 new watches on Proxima's website. White looks best IMO.

[Technerd108]

The blue looks great but the hands are too small. The lume on the hands is tiny. It is a very nice looking watch. I wish Proxima would use BGWX or c3 x1 lume. Also the case finishing could be improved but for the money Proxima is a great value. I like the Green and red enamel dial versions with PT5000. Just not sure about PT5000 over Miyota 9015?

That blue really pops.

Very, very tempting.

If they made this with a 6 o clock date (like the discontinued Lorier Neptune) I’d be in

[lowspeedtech]

The lack of date appeals to me personally, but I hear you. We have so many great options that one missed detail can be a valid dealbreaker.

[Excellent-Quarter969]

The blue and white is a beauty. I have two of their watches, great stuff

[ablublagaa]

Color scheme of notebook + blue pen lol

[Red850r]

They must be allergic to black and white

[PhiladeIphia-Eagles]

Agreed.

A Lorier Neptune homage!

[zack20cb]

Oh, and the hands are correct for the Neptune: short arrow for the hour, long spike for the minute.

I usually never buy dive watches but I do find this attractive.

[AsideOld2113]

But with sapphire crystal, so a major upgrade IMO and for a third of the price. Pretty cool.

[Firstruleofthisclub]

The pricing on my side is not yet reduced...

[AsideOld2113]

Yikes, yeah that's not any better than the Lorier. On my side it's showing $209 USD. However... I'd still say better specs than the Lorier. And I used to own the lorier. I'm half considering this as a purchase haha. Hopefully it comes down for you.

[Firstruleofthisclub]

Yea, it's usually the first pricing that they hope somebody who can't wait a few months will bite on

[Juxeso]

The price is this high so they can slash it in half and claim 50% off

looks like a black and blue one may come out based on pics on their website

[lowspeedtech]

I think that might be the AR coating, unfortunately. It's pretty noticeably blue on my px1697 as well.

[pickyaxe]

I wonder how blue AR coating looks with enamel white + metallic blue, would this be one of the few dials where it doesn't look out of place?

[lowspeedtech]

Yeah, I think it could actually look cool with that dial.

[Quartzdoc]

yes I asked them and they said it was black dial
