Interesting. And the price is not bad at all. Got the email on it, but cannot tell how thick it is.

[Chocodove]

Price is extremely reasonable it seems.

[ssultan]

Dials a bit busy but I do like the silver one ...

[Steve O.]

A Doxa Army by any other name...

Hmm
It’s right here

[Jeep99dad]

I looked at it and wow it felt aggressive so much going on with the dial and hands... even the bezel looks too busy

[RALAustin]

Thanks. That is not too bad.

Hideous

Rick will have the Jenny’s wound up in the morning. Oh, and yeah, I’m trying one

[toxicavenger]

so this is Rick's new brand. I hope they have better service than they provide with Aquajive. they basically let that brand die.

i am sure Doxa is steaming over the borrowing of this design.

[demer03]

He’s doing well with aquastar too

[Axelay2003]

Damn, that’s nice!

Price is on point.

Is this a white or silver dial?

[Ruggs]

Rick will have the Jenny’s wound up in the morning. Oh, and yeah, I’m trying one

A Jenny with the original proportions would be

Agree.

i hope so. a lot of people were counting on it. i just can't believe how aquajive has pretty much perished. there was a lot of fans

[HapaHapa]

That is one ugly ass watch

[sukUbus]

Are there "copyright " infringement issues with blatant copies of previous watches ie the Doxa Army as pictured above ?? Can you sue ??

I think it’s so far gone like the homages to older subs.

I'm confused. When I saw it last night I thought it was a Doxa. Isn't Synchron and Doxa the same? I've lost track. I almost ordered one last night but I'm a little hesitant. Partly because I don't like countdown bezels, and maybe partly because when I showed it to my wife, to show her how cool it was, she said, "you're kidding, right?" LOL. It is fugly, but in a cool way.

[SoCal C4S]

That’s gonna be a no for me, dawg.

[Ryeguy]

I like heritage, but some designs need to remain in the ‘70’s.

That said, I do find that case shape and size to wear very comfortably. If I were in the market, I’d probably consider the LeJour watches on Gnomen. They are a few hundred less and have a more traditional dial. They look to use the same (or very similar) case.

And doxa has announced on wus and Instagram they are releasing a Doxa Army also?

Oh this is gonna be a fun debate....

Either way it’s still ugly. But in a good way lol.

No. There are multiple companies using the Synchron branding but with other added crap like S.A. Part of the smoke and mirrors play on words that have been used for years.
