I have this watch for about 2 year. Movement runing ok. Bracelet is hard to remove as all other watches without drill lugs. The only thing i don´t like it´s the logo.
This camera is not one to come up on the used market often, i have been looking for one for a while, second i set all my cameras to the natural color profile, the reason is that I photograph so many different subjects and I can post process the files to my liking depending on the subject that I am photographing and the look I want to achieve, if I'm going to print the photo i can adjust the file to the type of paper i will use to make my print.
Great video well said about everything. I have a question which you forgot to mention. Does the crown have a ghosting date position? I have read somewhere that they are using the ETA with the date without putting a date window on the dial.
I appreciate it brotha! I will make a new video soon with Junghans again. As far as i can tell there is a Ghost position for sure :) but it does not change the functionality of the watch :)
@@universallanguage9839 thanks for quick reply :) I love this watch and its in my top 5 list of the most beautiful watches I've ever seen. The biggest problem of the watch is the water resistant :( Lots of rain where I live and I wash my hands a lot careless. I feel like I will water damage this watch if I buy one.
Well im going to get the black as dials are supposed to be easier to read in low light? When the silver finish wears off doesnt it give the camera a tacky look?
@@universallanguage9839 i got the seiko dolce sacm150 - there's no thin real 18k yg watch i'm willing to splurge on rn lol. best dress watch on the market imo is the ALS saxonia thin blue dial with gold flecks.
Good review, but if you are not obsessed with the brand, there is Berny, which has the same design at a much lower price level and has a premium level mechanism such as sapphire lens and Miyota 9015.
@@amanraj1608 I think when I give the brand of the watch, the owner of the video deletes it. I wrote it many times and it was deleted from all of them.
This is the one I chose also. I got a pretty good deal at Joma. If you're not against homages/copages also check out the 9-DAO Engineer. That watch is also available with MOP dials, and it looks less "homagey" with those. Even the PT5000 movement is nicer than the movement in the PRX automatics, and you can replace it with an SW200-1 or 2824-2 if you ever wanted to (e.g. when it's time for service eventually). Also, I agree the size is slightly too big on the PRX 40 and they should have gone with 38mm or 39mm. I think I'll be moving my PRX on. Darned nice bracelet for the $ though!
@@vonkruel i don’t know about the watch your mentioning, but it sounds interesting. I think the tissot prx quartz is actually a cool watch :) thanks for watching brotha!
Nice review mate and a great comparison with the Junghans! I also bought one 6 months ago and the screw holding the spring barrel assembly came loose and it stopped winding. Easy fix but haven't worn it much after that fiasco (google 34mm marlin california reddit) If I were to go back in time, I would definitely save up and go for the Junghans with it's Sellita movement which any watchmaker can fix unlike this Timex which no watchmaker wants to touch.
I appreciate the response! :) Yeah it seems the movement is not made for longevity, which is definitely a bummer. Otherwise the timex is a good looking watch!
I did ramble a bit in this video i think… it was just one take :) I do have one comment though regarding people wearing more watches regulary. What i meant to say is that, i would have preffered the waterrating to be a bit higher, since i think it would have made it more utillitarian. :)
i was hoping this video finally can help me with my choice. But it made it harder! Hahaha. I preordered the Silver because you know, retro. Reminds me of my Zeiss Ikon and Nikon FM2. But, I also used to have an Leica M8. And its in black. And it's the coolest piece of gear Ive ever own or will ever own. And watching your video, makes me miss the black aesthetics. Now i am not sure!
The differences between those are just when they started to homage Rolex. It's all about context on why you wanna buy one thing or another, if you will spread it properly, then wearing San Martin could give to rest the right vibe, because it has quality, on the other hand is easier to deliver with Seiko because Seiko already got history on their back, but quality is just worse because of marketing.
Design wise, Seiko is on top of the watch game. I've never owned one since they are harder to source and service in Europe but this SARX and the SJE Alpinist model both peak my interest (as well as both having controversial date windows 😂). Having made a no-date Alpinist Seiko mod I can attest that the inclusion of a date window only elevates the tooltastic nature of such pieces combining form with function. And at the end isn't that why we buy Seikos in the first place??
Thanks for the review! Just discovered Junghans recently and was curious to see how these models compare. Currently got my eye on their 38mm Meister Driver hadwinder :)
@@universallanguage9839 Very good, took it on a week trip to Paris and Valencia and it was great, only bare in mind not to fill it up too much if walking 20 thousand plus steps , I found that out carrying a Pentax K3 with 4 primes, but carrying 2 primes and the K3 got me thinking about the 7L, or just having the K3 on my PeakDesign strap and a small fanny pack for the primes, will see which way I will go.
@@gryphongryph The problem with bigger bags, is that you end up filling it fully. Which obviously can be a con if you don't all that gear, and the weight will be too much for longer shooting walks!
@@universallanguage9839 Yes, probably a small backpack would be better for heavier gear as you a spreading the load on both shoulders, but a bag is just so much faster to use 😂
I had x100f in black.. The paint on shutter was wearing off.. I hated that until I think on hand sand it.. Unfortunally I lost the camera.. And now I order 100vi in silver. One positive thing was that small printed speed numbers were easier to see on black for a +40 years old guy without wearing glasses and the back seems all metal instead of silver that you can see plastic black display frame.. Still would go with silver this time.
I have heard that complain as well with the movement. I don't have them anymore, so i can't check. I don't think it was that bad, but you can hear it for sure. If it truly bothers you i would not pick it up :) I know it's not the best answer. Otherwise you shuold be able to fine an answer on various watch blog :) Thanks for watching
@@universallanguage9839 Thanks with the 20mm F1.7 it's like a x100 but a lot cheaper. I had a x100s but it was a bit sluggish so I sold it. the prices are insane now pretty much what I paid for the gx9 and a 20mm.
Carmine Taverna ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B2-t1qE8ZBI.htmlsi=lcpxHlAEneosdNQB think thats his handle,has video on gx8,brilliant use of the swivel viewfinder.He tilted the camer a to portrait mode camera tilted sideways and used the viewfinder as a periscope.Looking in one direction while taking a photo in another direction.Anyone looking at him would thik he's looking in another direction while the camera was facing another direction.Brilliant if you want to hide who your taking a. Photo of someone near you.
Now if they did this watch with a VH31 movement, Gloss black dial and a brand name that actually fits on a watch dial ("Bolox" anyone 🤔?) then it would be a world beater...
That is so cool brotha! Enjoy it. It's one of those rare underrated watches. The H-link bracelet is one of the best. The watch overall can be worn with a Leather Strap, nato-strap, or bracelet flawlessly :)
@@universallanguage9839 I opted for the black strap, with red accents. Now I’m on the hunt for a good chronograph and my 3 watch collection is complete 😄. This will be my every day watch.
I love Panasonic. I still have my '2011 32" LCD TV, and some other household products, a cordless phone etc.. never had a single issue with any of those. They are so overlooked because they are not hyped up like the other brands, but man they make some great cameras. My first ever camera was a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8. I am a Nikon shooter nowadays but now looking for a point-and-shoot, and the GX9 seems to tick all the boxes.
My choice is the quality of an image. I could give a shit if the camera looks like a two thousand dollar Vagas whore or a pile of Dog-shit, the bottom line is how long a person stands in front of my work hanging on a wall. Grins
