This just in!
I've been thinking about one of these for a while, and finally pulled the trigger. I was going to save for a Black Bay, but decided I needed something a little different to round out the collection.
It's on a NATO right now because I didn't want to size the bracelet here at the office. It wears a little thicker than I had hoped, but I think I can adapt.
Thanks to all of you who helped answer my questions about Doxa in the past.

Re: This just in!
Congrats! I've got (another) one on the way as well. FWIW, I've owned both the 1200T and the Black Bay. The BB is a fine watch, but there's something about the Doxa that just kept drawing me back - not so with the BB. I also found the 1200T supremely comfortable on the wrist.

Congratulations!

Re: This just in!
You can say what you want about the company, but Doxa is so synonymous with this "look" that it adds to any collection. I feel the same way about Panerai - like them or not, they aren't bland.JBZ wrote:Congrats! I've got (another) one on the way as well. FWIW, I've owned both the 1200T and the Black Bay.

Re: This just in!
True - it's a unique design. I also have to say, while I've read about plenty of shortcomings, I've dealt directly with Doxa before and my experiences have been positive. Also, while I realize I'm being played, I find their marketing very appealing. I've been semi-following the Mission 31 stuff - it's really interesting.JP Chestnut wrote:You can say what you want about the company, but Doxa is so synonymous with this "look" that it adds to any collection.

Mine says hello.
I too had/have my eye on a couple other pieces but I kept coming back to the Doxa. I too find it very comfortable to wear. The history and ties to diving and exploration also add to the appeal. It has a permanent place in my collection.

Good work Mike and sweet pickup. Not sure I realized how good Doxas look on nylon before.

Great addition.
I miss mine. I think it is the one in Keith's picture.

The 1200t is Doxa's sweet spot IMO. Well done.

Very nice, I think I need a Sharkie too.
Re: This just in!
Nice catch, Mike. Perfect on the NATO.
Re: This just in!
Hotness! It rocks on the Nato
Re: This just in!
Nice on the Nato as it accentuates the case shape. Gonna have to try that with my 5000T. Enjoy.

Re: This just in!
Thanks guys. I'm thinking now that it may stay on the NATO for a while.
Re: This just in!
I agree, it works perfect on NATO.
