    I’m a fan of “boring” and have been considering a Gentleman for quite some time. It will be my next timepiece purchase. It’s lines are so classic.

    My vote is for the PRX. It's unique and it has the history/heritage from the 1970s. I bought matching quartz green dial PRX's for my wife and I (35mm for her, 40mm for me), and it brings a big 'ole smile to my face each time I wear it. I've been wearing a couple Omegas and a Rolex for years now and never gotten a single compliment on them. In the couple dozen times I've worn the PRX, I've gotten 3-4 compliments. It's a great watch at a fair price.

    Bracelet is better on the PRX but movement, case and indices are better on the Gentleman.
    Also Gentleman won't age or ever go out of fashion because it is so classic.

    Took the plunge to grab a BNIB but second hand PRX auto with the blue dial. It took me 6 months to pull the trigger, but this is the only watch I’ve bought which my wife has outright deemed as a “classy watch” 😅 versus the divers that I do default towards. I also thought that 40mm would have been a little small for my wrist, but have grown into it after 2 weeks on the wrist. Lovely watch and great form factor!

  • @Danlikescheesteaks
    @Danlikescheesteaks 2 роки тому +6

    I’m not a big fan of polished center links, and the bracelet of the PRX really catches light nicely as you turn your wrist. I also like the balance of the PRX. The Gentleman has too much bezel and just has an overall more chunky look that I just don’t really care for. The cool waffle dial is a real nice touch on the PRX, too

    For me the PRX because of you explained, it spoke to me and it's angular shape makes it sporty and different. I plan to have more watches Grand Seiko being the elegant watch the Gentleman can't really compete with except in price. I did consider adding the Gentleman since it's being sold on Amazon for $425 but I'd really be buying it because it's on discount not because it spoke to me all the sudden.

    I just like the Gentleman better all around. (Just my preference) I’m not big on all the “extra” casing and angular look. Both nice of course but the PRX just wouldn’t be my choice. Maybe because the PRX reminds me of something my grandpa wore but it looks a bit “old man-ish” to me too. (Just sayin)

    The Gentleman is the better watch all the way around other than the PRX having the slight edge on the bracelet. As an owner of both, the PRX feels like a large watch, but the dial seems too small on wrist.

    Gentleman for me, as it looks like a "wristwatch". It is the first picture in my memory bank when I hear "wristwatch". It looks like a go anywhere, on anybody type of watch. The PRX? I've never been an integrated case/strap watch guy. It reminds me of the Timex watches in the stand up rotary watch display at the pharmacy, circa 1977!
