Not feelin' it.

It's from Oscar, too? Double whammy there. It could be fake, too. :lol:

I would like to see a cerakoted watch up close. Curious about the finish and its durability.

If you just want to see the finish on metal, Brice, go to a gun show in your area...Should be a bunch of firearms "tactical-ized" with cerakote finishes... :whistle:

Still there at $1150. I wonder how far it will have to drop just to get rid of it.

Kinda sad that a 5000 sells at 1100 or less :(

It is ruined, so it no longer has any real value.

The 5000 Sharkhunter is my favorite Doxa. What happened to this one is criminal. I feel kind of bad for the seller because he seems like a decent guy. I hope he didn't pay too much for it.

I thought the 5000 was very well made and the dial with applied indices is quite nice. The bracelet was nice too especially with that rathetting clasp. But I would not mod it this way myself. I got a chance to lOok at close ups on my computer screen as opposed to just my phone and the finish is real rough and definitely not something Id like based on photos. Can't say I've seen Cerakote in real life but it's a shame to have done it on this fine Doxa. The 5000 is my favorite after the 750.
I hope he sells it and doesn't lose much money too.

I thought it was a really bad idea the first time I saw it when he posted it. Now seeing it for the second time I know it was a bad idea. That is just fugly.

Yep the 5000T is a nice watch in the Doxa lineup. I really like mine.

I saw the price and thought I'd finally buy myself a Doxa. The pictures ended that thought really quickly.

Sold at only $850 and even if you add the cost of having it bead blasted,someone got a bargain.

Had a bunch of work guns cerakoted and alike over the years. Looks like crap fairly quickly. An awesome watch with a beadblast. Over priced right here. Did he only pay $850 ??? that was a screaming deal.

I don't like the look of the Doxa in Cerakote, but I do like the Eco-Zilla.....looks pretty bad ass!
