when I think about a watch I could wear with basically anything anywhere, the PRX is among the top in my personal list

I'll buy one soon enough for that specific reason
 
I don't think it looks too blingy. They also offer a leather strap, at least for the full size version (not yet on the 35mm apparently).
 
I just wore my PRX yesterday and funny enough i was thinking how shiny the bracelet is. But that's what makes it stylish. with that integrated bracelet and Royal oak vibes, it's a keeper!
 
If i might add, i really think the PRX Powermatic version is one of the best value propositions (bloody Hodinkee speak, i'm sorry...) out there. for the price and what you get and a great long power reserve movement,...it's such good value.
 
That’s not blingy, just polished. There’s a difference.

They can? Without looking like middle management in an Eastern European criminal syndicate?
 
The bracelet especially has a lot of shine, can this be worn with jeans and a tee or is it a bit too blingy for casual.
I mean, wear it if you want to, with anything you want to. But since you're asking... that watch is solidly stuck between two uses. Too blingy to be as casual as a watch on a bracelet is generally, but because it's on a bracelet, it can't really do as a dress watch.

That's just me, always has been. Leather for dressy occasions, bracelets or NATOs or rubber for casual stuff.
 
I was actually thinking of getting rid of my Le Locle and getting a PRX because I want something more casual.

I kinda feel like the only way a bracelet watch can be "too dressy" is if it's all polished. The PRX is (almost) all brushed so it shouldn't have that problem.
Even though it's all brushed, every link on the bracelet is perfectly flat. That has a bigger effect on the sparkle-factor and it leads to really dramatic amounts of reflected light. Same principle as cutting and polishing gemstones.
 
In general, the answer to all questions like this is that very few people would ever notice or care. Wear what you love.

You can likely add many ", very" to the first sentence above. Or perhaps even say "Almost no one except the fools on watch boards..."

:cool:

I'm wearing my PRX quartz blue/bracelet today with sweatpants and hoodie.

Buy what you like
Wear what you want
