The Dive Watch Connection

La Joux Perret. High end movement manufacturer part of of the group of brands like Arnold & Son for whom they make the mvt. I think LJP in fact owns A&S and a company that makes their own movement parts. Also Alpina on lower end.
Now owned by citizen but left alone to run independently

Synchron: the art of trading on other companies good names.

I got the email 4 times

They wear great, and that was the best thing about them. Great case shape and it just sits well on the wrist. Does not feel thick at all.
I loved my military but it ended up going back to the person I got it from because of a lug hole issue. I’ve thought about getting another down the road because how nice it was for the price and I just loved the style.
I do think this Poseidon would look better all black case- but this is still a great looking watch. The movement seems cool too. Very tempting.

Nice. I’m psyched for this one.

So it wasn't just me...

5 emails here…

Thinking how this would look on bracelet, there is of course the mesh and BOR options.

But I was looking at this bracelet for my Tag super pro as I am one link short of it fitting my wrist. I think this style would look good on the Poseidon case as well:

With pics on the BOR.

I came here for some peer pressure. I guess I am in, but I agree that these would be better with a dlc case, which I suspect will come at a later date.

I dig it a lot and it’s great value for the money. I didn’t buy one because as much as I like it, I like my DLC Military more (mostly because it’s a faithful tribute to the original Doxa Army) and I don’t need two very similar watches.

Only 53 left per the website.

IMO these look really good. Ordered one last Friday when I saw it posted on FB by FlyingDoctor (Peter) before the emails came out, (yes, I got 4 emails too from Synchron). I like the Ploprof hands and the Poseidon logo. I'm hoping there is enough contrast between the yellow minute hand and the light gray dial. Shipping is supposed to start mid / late February. Photos when it arrives.

Thank goodness.

Don’t worry to all those who missed out. Maranez will have their version released in a few days.

I had to restrain myself from ordering. I would get it and then sell it within a few weeks (days?)

Can’t wait to see it. Probably gonna put my Doxa 1200 up for sale now.

I was counting on it. I’ll probably grab one that shakes loose here in a few months.

FWIW, I think you can still place an order even though they are technically sold out. Synchron is accepting a handful more orders in anticipation of future cancellations.

And I would likely line up to pony up the cash

Did anyone receive an email from Synchron regarding their watch today?
