So post the pics of the goddam 4000t already. Yeah, plenty of us including me, have chided Doxa for this one but that doesn't mean it can't have its place or a review - and an honest one at that. Don't make me say please.

I think you're wasting your breath here, Brad. It looks to me like a Bill has taken his marbles and gone home.
Sigh.

Probably just out panty shopping. Show us that Far-East Doxa already.

I spoke to Bill off-line and it looks like this is for real, so perhaps we should all just pour one out for our fallen comrade and move along. It's a shame, because he's definitely one of the good guys, but hey, you've gotta do what you've gotta do, right?
Regards,
Adam

Wow. Shocking move, Bill! I guess DWC is not for everyone. Sucks that it happened over a Doxa. Imagine... Mike would have left many times ago by now.

Actually, I do sort of get Doxa, though I'd never support the company, either directly with my hard earned money, or indirectly by wearing one of their watches (I like how they look -- that's it). My comment was inspired by a drive-by Bill pulled in the WUSsy Linde Werdelin forum a while back where he simply posted, "I don't get LW" in response to a thread comparing an Okto to a Sea-Dweller. Needless to say, some of the die-hard LW fans didn't appreciate such a blunt assessment of their beloved brand, which required a bit of hand-holding on my part until they could get over the slight.
Obviously, they're waaay too sensitive over there.

Adam

So, in summary, Adam has bad taste in watches, but at least he's good-natured about it....

Truth is, watches are a personal expression. Perhaps a bit of skin thickening on one part, with a dash of "do unto others" on the other half is needed. There are many times I will look at a post and think "yuck". I guess the difference is that just because I "can" say something, doesn't mean I "should".
Respectfully,
Mike

Don't go Bill, its all in good fun.
The subject of Doxa has always been a love/hate thing.

I`m sorry Bill but this is ridiculous
You`ve done your share of ball busting on this forum and now you`re gonna leave because of some dumbass remarks about your Doxa?

I have always put myself and watches out there by posting mini-reviews etc. Lately I have been noticing a frat-house everything attitude. Thats fine I guess but this is (WAS) a watch forum for dive watches etc. Hell Pat is all over the site, but I don't remember 1 watch post.
Listen, this is no PMS post. I have done my time, but posting info and sharing with friends is what I want. The group think, everyone pile on, rubbed me the wrong way for awhile...<watchlords anyone> I'll just swing by your posts and sharp shoot your shirts and photos, all the while spewing my baseless opinions about watches I have never owned.
I'm not gone, just done throwing ammo out there.....
This is a watch forum?

What is ridiculous was the blaze orange hunter safety fleece he was wearing in the Doxa pix. I think this all stems from his fashion faux paux, not his 4000T which is probably long gone. What ever. It was a good run Rick, take care.
