I was undecided between the two, but ultimately opted for the PRX in green. I think the Gentleman is definitely the more elegant of the two, and is also much more versatile to be dressed up or down. Hower, for me the PRX is the better sports watch (if you like the angular/geometric design), and also I didn't really like the Gentleman's bracelet with the polished centre lugs.
For me it matters a lot for the types I own.. I think that if the watch size and lug width are well balanced, then maybe it's fine even without a taper. However, if the lug width is large compared to the diameter, then it really does need to taper or the bracelet/strap end up looking out of proportion. For example the PRX integrated bracelet starts very wide, and would look ridiculous without a taper. Similarly, I tried a 20mm untapered bracelet on my Lorier Astra (36mm) and I think it just looked very odd with a wide bracelet and small watch diameter.
Amazing work, looks great! Night-and-day difference, you can't even see the sunburst effect in the before picture! I just got my first acrylic watch, do you have any tips or any advice on things to look out for when polishing??
Fair enough mate, for me I think 36mm is at the very limit of what I can consider, but I've now gotten used to it a gotta say I'm enjoying it quite a lot... before pulling the trigger on the Astra I was actually considering the Citizen NB1060 (JDM I think), which I think could be equally versatile in formal & everyday use. Slightly different design vibe where it mimics a Grand Seiko a bit, but it brings a 38mm case with the same versatility and beautiful finishing for around £600 on the discovery-japan portal... they even have the more affordable nb1050, which I think might be a modern day SARB alternative now that prices for that and other Seikos have spiraled up...
