Rob is the king of the comparisons!
Re: some real world photos of the 50th Anniversary SUB 300 P
Thanks Rob!
From the looks of it I think the 300 reissue is the best fit for me... except for maybe a 1200. Maybe I can grab one cheap someday now that I'm curios.

Ben I have a 1200t, and when my 300 arrives in a couple days I can do some comparo pics (shoulda been yesterday, goddamn fedex )
It will be interesting for me too, as I really can only keep one of them

So I had to seize my bracelet....
First link, I was like "this is fine what are people. Itching about..."
By the third link my screws driver shredded and left chrome flakes. Cheap as hell.

Yeah, I had to switch to a Sinn screwdriver to get all the links out.

Run under hot water for a while. Soften up the loctite. Bergeron screwdriver. Quick and easy.

But everyone else for 20 years has done it flawlessly with the highest quality supplied screwdriver you must be retarded.

I know right. I brought up the screwdriver issue over there and was given the same response. It is not the shitty tool you are to incompetent to use a screwdriver.

Re: some real world photos of the 50th Anniversary SUB 300 P
This is the first bracelet out of hundreds that I couldn't size myself. Didn't even bother with the supplied tool so tried the Sinn tool and broke the tip off. Tried a few other screwdrivers to no avail. Had to go to 3 different local jewelers before I found one that could remove all the screws from the links. Doesn't really change the fact that the watch is just about perfect but still was a pain in the ass.

Agree.
Great watch but I've never had issues sizing before this one.
I broke the supplied garbage one and I broke a Sinn driver.
Had a nice micro set in the drawer I forgot about. Barely works to be honest. Very hard to unscrew. One of the screws looks kinda ugly now.

I never bother with the supplied screwdrivers as I use a set of Bergeons, but I do remember cursing all of mankind when I adjusted my old 5000t bracelet. I had bruises on my hands after that experience.

I will overcome this obstacle I am sure
Worst case scenario I could get some replacement screws. I have heard this is really easy to do with Doxa

Re: some real world photos of the 50th Anniversary SUB 300 P
My watchmaker (Grand Central Watch in NYC) literally had to drill out one of the screws. Never had an issue with any other bracelet, including other Doxas, until this one. Hair dryer, hot water, nothing worked for me.

He eventually got them from Sven. And I got a set too as part of a little experiment. Still have them if anyone needs a settoxicavenger wrote:Right, I think Mike is still waiting on his screw bars from 2014.mfxr wrote:I will overcome this obstacle I am sure

Todd, you should really learn how to use your screwdrivers correctly. Either way that sucks to hear. I definitely wouldn't be happy.Chocodove wrote:My watchmaker (Grand Central Watch in NYC) literally had to drill out one of the screws.

Bracelet sized, no problems. I did NOT use the included driver, but used a Bergeon 120 driver instead. Maybe 1 out of the 5 screws I touched was noticeably tight, the rest were straightforward.
I should also mention that I soaked the bracelet in hot tapwater in the sink for about 5 minutes beforehand, as I was ready for a fight.
Maybe I was lucky
