That blue one is super sharp. Yes, the hands are definitely on the short side, but for under a grand I could live with them.
Not sure about the Doxa connection, though.

They are the same people, but registered separate companies.

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 like the black dial/orange bezel combo.

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

Re: Jenny releases new diver
great looking watch! the hands definitely need to be a little longer but I like the look of it.
but I can't buy anything directly from doxa.

Re: Jenny releases new diver
Amen. The original oozes quality, this other, not so much. F all those companies and their piss poor CS and QC. Mike I hope it works out for you, shame you needed it so bad they get your dollars.four20 wrote: 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.

Re: Jenny releases new diver
It doesn't have the "wow" factor for me but when they turn up in the sales forums I might just try one. Of course,black dial,orange bezel or all orange would be the ones Can't wait to see some 'real life' pics of them.

Re: Jenny releases new diver
See, I've have never been disappointed by them....in quality and customer service. Their forum blows chimp, as David is want to say, but I've found a line between those sad little men and the manufacturer. I hasn't been easy, at times being as angry as I was.lilhoody wrote:Mike I hope it works out for you, shame you needed it so bad they get your dollars.
I honestly like the design, and the value fits a point for me. We'll see...I can always spin it off if it's less than expected.

Re: Jenny releases new diver
That's exactly how I feel. I've owned 4 750s and all were excellent watches for the price. All kept COSC time as well. Granted, the forum sucks and fortunately I've never had to buy $100 endlinks or deal with their CS, but I'd still buy another DOXA if the right one came along at the right time.demer03 wrote:See, I've have never been disappointed by them....in quality and customer service.

I really like this, and bought the black/yellow. I always enjoyed my Doxas and found their CS to be fine.

Re: Jenny releases new diver
I think I'm gonna go for it...
Blue or silver dial??
I've owned 10+ Doxas and have no complain about the watches at all. Forum is another thing.
