Thank you very much SlowSlow. Indeed, most reviewers ignored this fact. If they had pointed it out before my purchase. I would have chosen the blue dial SBGN029 instead.

Indeed, @Beanna. I can find 80% quality similarity on Taobao (Aliexpress) for 20% of the price Delugs is offering.

However, I can vow that the Zip and Snap cases Delugs offer are not found in Mainland China. And to my tiny wrist, those watch cases are worth every dollar to me. Bc I tried cases that cost USD 65 but cushions that were too big for my wrists.

OH Max. What have you done?

Long ago, in our good old night walk home with my good bro Jeff. We had a debate. Jeff who's also a watch guy, hates the PRX. We discussed how the PRX isn't better than the Christopher Ward 12. How the Powermatic 80 movement has 3 hz, plastics and the case is meh (on the 40mm). And how much more value the 12 packed in comparison! He loves how cool the COSC CW 12 is (in photos). Even with the new 36mm for the CW12 and 35mm for the PRX, we concluded the CW12 is the better buy.

My bro Jeff, purchased his CW12, 6 months ago. And yet near November, he is still waiting for his beloved watch (And yes he is regretting it after like half a year of waiting). On the other hand, I had my hands on all the PRX 35mm in colours during my recent trip to Osaka, Japan. And my God, I forgot everything we've discussed as I put that ice-blue PRX on my wrist.

Have you ever felt that feeling? Like it's calling you. Like the watch is alive and there is a "disturbance in the Force"? I had it with the Ginza Alpinist, GS Sea of Cloud and this, the PRX 35.

And unlike those living in the West, we HK ppl are halfway across the globe from where CW is based. Nor do we really have a chance to try on any independence (like CW) in Windup Watch Fairs (located also half the globe away). And man, how I see more PRX on the wrists of young adults like myself in the MTR (Subway/Underground).

Shout out to Ken from Delugs! I love their products! How their watch cases are God sent to small Asian wrists like mine. But, yes Delugs' leather straps are VERY VERY expensive. Especially, when I live in HK and have DIRECT access to Taobao/Aliexpress (Mainland China products). You can find 90% similar quality to Delugs straps on Taobao for like 20% or less of what Delugs is offering.

And my prefrontal cortex still won the fight against my Hippocampus, so PRX 35 is still just on The Wishlist. For now.

P.S. I wonder why my girlfriend holds my hand tight every time I walk past a watch store...... man, she's such a romantic.

Thank you @TimeJunkie, the Pelagos 39 feels great on the wrist. And the T-fit is amazing, especially in the summer times.

The grey-ish bezel, the red text makes it less boring than the Sub. Yet it is more tool-watch and versatile watch compared to the Sub

I see. That's alright! Buy the watch you love!

Originally, I wanted to get the new Jubilee BB36. But in the end, I still feel it is very weird. Snowflake & diver indices (sporty) paired with the Jubilee bracelet (dressy). There is a reason why Rolex has the OP and DJ separated.

You're right, Max. The shiny bezel of the Santos holds me back too. And I looked into the Tank Must, the Dumont. Yet neither Tank nor Dumont gives me the feeling of a mechanical, sporty and elegant (yet leisurely vibes). And with my 14.5cm wrist, the Santos just sits right.

The Santos is on my Graduation Watch wishlist. Compared to the Rolex Palm Dial DJ, Santos feels just right: Not too flashy, suitable for my future career in offices, has the prestige (and pride), a great history, both elegant and sporty. If I finally get my Fellowship Scholarship for my Master's, I'll engrave "I did it" on the caseback.

Man...... the dream. Yet, I still can't get over how much the bezel gonna scratch up 😭

So like my Master's results, Santos gonna have to wait.

I see thank you very much!
