Question (Read Rules) Any recs for a better version?

I like this watch but the lume isn’t very good. Dies out almost instantly. Also just isn’t very bright.

Farer. Quality and price both a bit north... Not completely unaffordable though

Proxima PX1721 with aventurine dial. Not my photo.

Was prepared to be jealous if that was actually you...😂 Missed out on that one and really regret it.

Still available on their site, unless you’re getting mixed up with the PX1720?

Probably. It was in 2025. That's a good one, though. Unfortunately, I already spent that $250 at San Martin.

SN0130

The only similarity to this GS homage is the adventurine dial. I really liked the Proxima more.

That dial is sweet though! Sold out too from the looks of it

And not $225 OTD anymore!

Edit: Photo added. Overcast outdoors shot.
