Amazing! I also own a Steeldive tuna (hulk model) as well as a Proxima scuba master, and I'm in full agreement with the gentleman's review. Buy one or both of these watches. You won't be disappointed!
The Proxima mm300 in this video is homaging the dial face and hands from the Seiko sbdx012. This was a 50th anniversary model with inky 1,000 PCs produced in 2018. It also featured a “guilted bezel”.
Hey man. Thanks for the information. I didn't go with the gold bezel because I wanted the bgw9 lume, and I just think too many gold tone is a bit too much for me. Anyways, thanks for watching 👍
Great review on this awesome watch. I own the Seiko SBDC033 Blumo/Sumo as well and your right about the crown on the blue Sumo . I’m very tempted to pick up one of these watches 👍🏻
Hello there Joseph. I have since traded the watch with another San Martin. But I still think the crown is the best among these AliExpress brands. Having said that, a few months after I made this video, the crown had an issue. When setting the time, it won't go anticlockwise. So O contacted the seller, and they asked me to send it to a watch repair company here in Malaysia. I'm not really sure if they would do the same for other countries. But it's good to know they do honour their 2 years warranty right? Anyways, thanks for watching.
Well, if you can get a good discount on these, say for less than USD200, it's still a nice watch. If under USD150, it's a bargain. Just have a quick chat with the seller on AliExpress or on other websites about the after sales warranty. Got mine from their official store on AliExpress, and their customer service is good. Even after 1 year of use, they still reply to my messages on AliExpress or on Instagram. Hope this helps.
@@sayfulhamizansaid5622 dial alignment dia OK. Cumanya ada sedikit miss alignment kat chapter ring. Tapi benda ni biasa la. Seiko pun byk yg ada problem ni.
A beautiful watch. Fabulous case design (thanks Seiko) executed very well buy Proxima. I have a stainless steel bezel version with the SW200, really pleased with it, quality feels much better quality than my Seiko's. I couldn't get a good fit with the supplied bracelet either and have mine on a FKM Waffle strap too. Looks good too as the shape of the case is highlighted (I think) Worthy of a hi-beat movement
Ah the case size. For my 6.75 inches wrist, it still feels a bit too big, so I sold it. Wishing for a 42mm or even 40mm version of this watch, but it seems there's none to be found. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎
Just my Scuba 🤿 Master watch in today. Mine has the green dial with black ceramic bezel insert. Wow this was is amazing 🤩. Other than that the movement this watch is spot on to the actual real Seiko MM300 .
I have the exact same watch as shown in this video. I got it from The Proxima Store/Aliexpress. I really like the watch but I found that the Proxima Store’s website does a terrible job of describing or showing the options. Frankly I wasn’t all that sure what I was buying until UPS express made the delivery. I really like the stainless steel bracelet p mine came with the new milled clasp. I have two issues with the watch - it is running about +10/day. Perhaps it will settle down after a month or so. My other issue is the bezel - it is very difficult to turn. Alignment is great. My plan is to install a new Seiko SBDC001 ratcheting clasp on the Proxima stainless bracelet. I have owned many Seiko watches over the past few years and I find the overall fit and finish of the Proxima to be as good or better that most. I currently own a SARB017 Alpinist, SBBN033 Tuna MM300 and a SBCD063 MM200 which are all great watches and I rank this new Proxima as a nice addition to my collection.
I knew what I would get because the seller showed me the movement reading, the lume condition and the dial/bezel combination before shipping out the watch. Maybe there's a different seller on AliExpress? Mine didn't come with the milled clasp though, but it might be a waste because I'm not going to use the bracelet anyway 😂. Thanks for watching man
@@NMwatch- Hi there thanks for your bro, I'm planning to buy the watch, is it still good after all this time?😅 And is the Bezel insert hard to change (juste to have some different style lol)
I saw the Proxima MM300 SBDX001 homage after your excellent video, I noticed three version: nh35 (U$ 204), pt5000 (U$ 240) and sw200 (U$ 354), which one will you choose? Give me reasons for your, choice, please.
@@NMwatch I was planning to do the same, however I thought to change mind and to get the pt5000 because its price is almost the same of the nh35, at the same time I was afraid of having problems with pt5000 in a near future
Well, I've owned quite a lot of PT5000 and experienced zero issues other than heavier handwinding and screwing down the crown. So, it might be a worthy risk to take
Hello there Antonio. I've updated the purchase link in the video description. Do check with the seller about the BGW9 bezel insert. Before I purchased it, I specifically asked him to put the ceramic BGW9 insert on the gold tone dial watch.
Hello, I've got one in titanium and this watch is incredible for the price (in SS too). I have a question, when you screw the crown does the movement wind up at the same time ? Cause it didn't do that at the beginning and now it does. Is it the normal operation of seiko NH35 ?
I've had the Seiko NH35/NH36/4R36 in lots of my watches and yes they do wind when you're screwing in the crown. So it's perfectly normal. Thanks for watching 💪
Unfortunately no. If you are a bracelet guy, you might want to get it with the bracelet, but if you are not, get it on the rubber strap. Thanks for watching man
Kalau seller hantar guna DHL, FedEx dll, apa sahaja barang yg value atas RM500 = USD120 akan kena tax 10% + handling fees. Nak selamat, beli bawah RM500 atau bagitau seller declare harga USD120 kalau beli barang atas harga tu😎
Amazing!

@@NMwatch I’m actually happy with the Seiko NH35 movement. The quality of this watch is amazing 🤩

I'd definitely go for the Seiko version. They are easier to wind, and a lot cheaper to repair if anything goes wrong. Thanks for watching 😎

For your information, the minute hand is exactly like the original marinemaster ( Seiko sdbx012)
Thanks for the information and watching bro😎

Hey man. I'll give you a few links later. But I'm not really sure if they still sell this particular variant now. Thanks for watching

Do Proxima suffer from alighment liek Seikos? Steeldive which is cheaper and lower quality has perfect alignment...
Hey man. The bezel on my watch was slightly misaligned but not that obvious. Steeldive? Definitely value for money. Thanks for watching 😎

How is the quality of the bracelet? Up to par with the watch itself?
Unfortunately no. If you are a bracelet guy, you might want to get it with the bracelet, but if you are not, get it on the rubber strap. Thanks for watching man
Is the back is a screw down back? And it looks like is not a rounded back...
This is a mono bloc case. Without any case back. Everything is installed from the front side. Thanks for watching 💪
@@NMwatch thanks for clearing that up. Excellent review btw,,,😅
@@fendergibson5222 No problems bro. Thanks for the support 💪
Would be perfect if can compare with the real deal side by side.
Thank you, happy weekend & Selamat Hari Merdeka.
It would be great I think. If I can borrow one from fellow Malaysians😉
Really nice!!! Subs...what negeri you from?
I live in Selangor bro. Thanks for the sub!

Dah lama jual boss. Jam lain banyak lagi la😅
bang, berapa ya tax yg dikenakan kalau order dari aliexpress?
Kalau seller hantar guna DHL, FedEx dll, apa sahaja barang yg value atas RM500 = USD120 akan kena tax 10% + handling fees. Nak selamat, beli bawah RM500 atau bagitau seller declare harga USD120 kalau beli barang atas harga tu😎
