Yeah pretty cool! Although I’m not a fan of carbon cases, for some reason?

Badass. I’ve been thinking all day about buying the aquamarine 300 sub carbon :grin:

Thats the full lume dial correct? I love white dials, but dislike full lume dials. Oh well.

I am excited to see more carbon cases. Makes a lot of sense, material wise. Hopefully it continues to trickle down into more affordable pieces.

I think I have a “type” in liking the carbon case aquamarine. It will go well with the lunar rock color of my truck :gayumbrella:

I’ll take one Mike, that’s too cool honestly ! :salute: :)

And I think your truck is out of this world awesome too Derek ! :headbang:
I guess what I am saying, is that I would like to have both of these. :grin:

And what’s so nice, is Doxa and Toyota make something for everybody
right?! ;) ..I mean you can get these neat new colors, but they still
have the traditional variations as well. ..I love that.

Really want to thank you for the post Mike !!!

Nice, I'd love to check that bezel action, and plow some rocks in that Tundra.

D, are those Diod Dynamics?

If looking at upgrading fog/ditch/driving lights, give a look at the Morimoto 4-Banger lights. Headlight Revolution did some great comparison videos on YouTube. I run the HXB Fogs and Combos on the 4Runner and sons JK. Phenomenal.


On the Doxa, I agree with Brice. For $2000-2500 I’d be in for the lume dial, but $4k is steep for a plastic Doxa.

Might as well just get a Luminox... just sayin. :fro:

Exactly!! Thank You Hopp!
I wanted options but didn't know where to look. Next month I was getting Diod Dynamics SS5 Pro, to replace my fogs. A buddy running the lower grade (S55 Sport) flipped his on and the field of coverage was insane, it looked like we'd been rolling without lights. He has the yellow fog replacements.

Yep, great videos. MSRP's the same. Lifetime vs 8 yr warranty. Local (to me) vs Chinese assembly. Both will discount with multiple purchase$ (my wife's car). This is a solid lead to work out.  
Thanks again.

That looks incredible and carbon’s superior, but doesn’t it lack something in the tactile realm and presence?

I think the carbons have their own presence the way they contrast with the dial colors and hands and markers! Mike did you get the orange?

I have the limited edition shark hunter and the orange pro versions and they get a ton of wear. The case is just so light and none of the watches show any wear at all.

Hop, your input was excellent, thank you. I went with Diode Dynamics. 4bangers flood a bit more vertically, while DD does horizontally, DD also has a tight cut-off line, I think I like that.

It came down to Diods being assembled in the US, for the same price.

I went midtier output to run them constantly without legal issues. The backlit option's cool, I'm the installer, and with my particular switching, I passed.

A solid Thanks!

Hope to install this week.
