Didn't read the thread, but is it owned by Isofrane/Doxa/Aquadive?

Kind of cool and pretty good deal w/the returning Doxa discount at $945...

Mike, which color?

I haven't been this excited about a new release from someone in a while! The blue looks sweet too.

Buy the watch, buy the seller. I like the watch but won't buy from the Aquadive/Doxa/Isofrane/Jenny/Synchron crowd.

Holy crap.

I actually like it.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said

That's just it, Todd. It's where Doxa's started, and should be still priced.

Makes it an easy try.

Mike, you are a bad influence. Payback, eh?

I like the black and yellow.

I would do orange, but it looks too much.

I am going to think about this one a bit tonight.

case shape does nothing for me. looks like something Fullswing put out

i prefer the original in all aspects- the peaked hands, the recess on the case side for the crown, the slight curve of the lugs is more pleasing to the eye.

I think it looks pretty cool. Pretty darn close to the original. I think it should have 20mm lugs though.
Good lord what else does synchron own???

Jenny is an old case manufacturer, owners of Walca, who bought Doxa in '97. I thought they owned Isofrane and Aquadve, but the people of Aquadive say no.

There is a relationship somewhere, but I cannot tell you where.

I understood that Syncron handled distribution for Aquadive, but they were separate companies.
