I'd watch what you ask for around here - "it" might not be something you want to see at all.
Is it too "soon" :scratch: :whistle:

I have a particular interest in the Doxa brand but I am on a budget. My wife controls my every move, including any and all purchases related to my happiness. She can make all of the luxury purchases that she wants, which as of late has been equestrian gear, and I have no say in the matter. Hi DWC!!! :)

Hi Josh, welcome to DWC!
Hey , you never know ... she does have 'equestrian gear' ... maybe the OP wants to avoid the riding crop :lol:

Anyone willing to hold on to one for a few weeks until the broker releases the funds to my bank? I can now do up to 1450! :D I sold one of my Invictas, have a few more up for sale. I really wanna get a Doxa, I'm really up for any of them not just the pro. but the 1450 is my max now, possibly up to 15 if it is a deal breaker. Being a grad student has it's drawbacks, ie being poor haha.

I just put a deposit down on a 1200T pro! Turns out the wife was trying to keep my budget small since she was planning on getting me one in July for my birthday! Doxa said they were almost out of the 1200t so I talked to the wife, she put down the deposit and in a few weeks I will pay off the rest! a few short weeks away from owning one! :grin: I can't wait! thanks for all of the tips and stuff guys!

Hey guys, just wanted to give an update! After being patient and diligent I actually found a Sub 750T Clive Cussler edition for an awesome price! A user from DWC actually messaged me about selling one and it turns out he lives in the same city as I do! We met up, I handled the watch and viewed his awesome collection then about a week later after deciding between that and a 1200t and a more expensive Sub 1000t I went with this guy and picked it up for $800 USD! It is in great condition and has everything that it came with as well!! I'm so excited :dance:
