From what I can make out the 1200T is not coming back.

If I went back in time, I'd not be buying Aquastars or Omegas. :roll:

scurfa wrote:Must be running out Doxa posted a comment on WUS saying how the used 1200T's will increase in value in the next couple of weeks.
Here's what DOXA had to say on their official forum:

"Hi, there were 1200 pieces planned but not yet entirely made of the main models, those are the Professional and Sharkhunter, the other models like the DWL, NUMA, Project Aware were made in their consecutive limited editions. The Searambler is an exception with only 300 pieces made until now. The exact numbers made of the 2 main models will be available in a few weeks."

So it doesn't sound like they sold the run as originally planned.

Yeah-I was trying to be witty and hip. I thought it started out good but I fell off a cliff and there you have it :(

Hope they come out with something new in the 42mm range. Until then, I'll be waiting.

Hi, no, not really planning to go above the $2,000 mark and the reason, is that the SUB5000T and the SUb1500T sold 3 X as fast as the smaller sized SUb1200T, it is odd, the majority look for the classic size, but end up buying the larger models, can't explain...

me too, I wish I had today's money and a time machine,

BTW, $200.00 in 1967 had the same buying power as $1,416.71 in 2014. Annual inflation over this period was 4.25%.

Funny, but this really just a coincidence, the DOXA SUB1200T sold for $256 back in 1967, this is $1815.00 in today's $$

Nope-not enough profit margin and it would honor the history of Doxa too much. Onward and upward with the Invicta-ization of the once beloved brand.
Yeah, you could be right, the $20K DOXA SUB Tourbillon is coming up in a few weeks and is a total departure from the DOXA history, you guys can sometimes predict the future :cheers:

I hope they don't abandon the classic size, Sven. It would be a mistake.

1200T Pro was one of the very, very few watches (not just Doxas) I bought brand spankin' new. Don't regret it at all. In fact, I kinda want another 600T, 1000T, or 1200T....

Every time a Doxa thread comes up, I start reminiscing about my dearly departed 5000t pro and 750t Searambler. Then I go to watch recon. None last I looked. I would want to see a 1200 in the steel before jumping on one though. You guys that have (or had) a 1200 and have some wrist shots, could you post em here? That silver dialed siren sings to me every time I see one.

You obviously didn't actually check WatchRecon because there actually is a 750t SR for sale now. :lol: :nutkick:

Ok you got me there, mister. :tap:

Let me rephrase it - the last time I looked at watch recon, which was a few weeks ago. ;)
