I may be preaching to the converted.

Everyone probably knows this, but if there are any that don't, the "X" on the Prospex line is a clever inter twined P and S.

Thank you! I thought it was just an X. My eyesight is shot.

I think I did read that somewhere but had long forgotten, and I'm even wearing a Prospex (Turtle) today even.

Wow...I also thought that it was just a P and an X...the integration of the “S” is genius...

I’m one of the only people in the world who likes that logo, and now that you’ve pointed that out I like it even more.

Thanks Dave!

I hear a lot about people not liking the PX. I just look at it and go on. Not like they asked me.

I like to think that I can make out the entire word PROSPEX in the logo!

First Dave’s helpful message surprised me, but this one takes it to the next level. I think you’re right about this.

And to think all this time I thought “X” when I saw it.

I like it. But then again, I'm also a fan of the new "5" in the Seiko 5 logo too.
