Which one would you get ?
I tried the prx on and actually liked how it looks (After ignoring the integrated bravelet hype for a long time) So now I ve been looking more into the available options and liked those so far. I do not want to spend too much for this as this should be a nice looking watch that I do not worry about a lot. I still habe to try that alpina but like the images so far!

Have a blue PRX 40 which I still enjoy but would go CW 12 if I didn’t have one

Why so ? The problem is that there os nowhere I can try it on here in switzerland!
I would start with the Direnzo DRZ-04
Then the CW12 and maybe the new Nivada Grenchen F77

I love the look on the nivada but feel that at 37mm it is too small! I will ne probably gettimg one of that kind and then look further to other types of watches
I've only had experience with the 12 and many of the PRX models. I don't comment on watches that I don't have experience with but I liked both of those two at their very different price points.
I went with a less mainstream choice for an integrated bracelet with a blue dial but admittedly it's a bit pricey.

I love the bvlgari octo roma in grey but as you already mentioned it is pricey!

Good question…there certainly is a price difference so that could be a factor and I understand that…the PRX for the money is hard to beat IMO (my wife and I both have them) but the Christopher Ward just jumped off the wrist to me…I like the fact it has a screwdown crown, they released it with rubber strap options from the jump and in Switzerland it certainly would be a more unique watch
It probably does not hurt that I love purple…

You got me on the part saying it would be unique in switzerland!
I prefer the 35mm prx

My Bulgari was a Birthday gift or otherwise I probably would have gone with a PRX. All my most expensive watches were gifts so I can also recommend marrying well.😉
I would get Citizen Tsuyoza… a lot more affordable and comes in so many available colors. Especially the new small second ones.
The FC Highlife in green. This watch is at the limit at what I can afford and I think its great.
The Alpina for the same price doesnt grip me at all. The problem with CW is, that I cant try it on and I would like to before spending over 1k chf. The Tissot, while looking nice, Is nothing I would like to wear.
Yes. I’m hoping, in time, all things are possible.
I’ve owned all 4 , I’d get an aikon or an f77 nivada. Also I’ve owned an alpiner extreme and fc highlife.
I had the same dilemma awhile ago and here my experience.
I ended up buying the PRX, it definitely has a nice retro design and look good on your wrist, don't take me wrong but as soon as I got an offer, I sold it. Why? I saw better options for the same puspose I wanted PRX. Also, there are some unfavorable experiences from friends and others about that model.

There is a microbrand that I recently love, especially due to the unique dial pattern and insanely lume that called my attention with its Adamascus series (AD880A) I do enjoy good looking watches.

👆 It is one of my favorites and most eye catching watches in my collection. Later on, I was in Thailand so decided to pay a visit to the HQ of this microband, long story short, I ended up buying a Tiffany Blue which is my go for summer watch, sure..., It looks like OP but price/quality-wise is a bold watch. Case 904L, great lume, impeccable finished and worthy purchase decision.

I bought a Tsuyosa for less than half of the price of PRX, added customized straps to make it more versatile, In fact, I love both looks indeed.
Try the baume e mercier riviera!

I think the Nivada f77 would be my choice.

This is a mind blowing collection to me. Well done.
Easily Nivada Gretchen F77, especially with one of its new dials
This is a mind blowing collection to me. Well done.
Love your collection! The aikon feels too royal oaky for me! Out of the ones I mentioned which would you get
Others here: Certina DS 7
Lots of different price ranges there how much have I got to spend ?
For integrated bracelet, I'd go Tudor Northflag. I love the power reserve hand/wheel.
I wish Tudor never discontinued this watch. It was the one I was saving for and wanted to get as it was very unusual at the time with a smaller case size than (at the time) Tudor Ranger.
Tissot PRX looks so cool but as a Tudor lover I would definitely want to get the 2023 Tudor black bay 31.

Out of the choices you gave I’d go FC highlife!
