I don’t care for “special edition” on the dial

I really like it. I'm just not certain I like it 2X the cost of a standard 300T.

Glass half empty / Glass half full analysis is

Glass half empty: At the $3,500 price point, I'm probably going to be cross shopping a Tudor Black Bay which will offer a COSC movement and the brand assurance that they will be able to provide quality service to my watch in 5 years. With Doxa? Maybe not.

Glass half full: Doxa has risen to the point that I would even consider cross shopping it against a Tudor.

Agreed. I like it otherwise.

The special edition and the blacked out timing marks on the bezel both bug me. I wonder what that dial looks like in real pics though?

I'm not liking the matching bezel and dial combo. I guess I like them contrasting a bit more

Interesting- I’m in the other camp. I like the matching bezel/face and feel it brings a nice balance to the face to case ratio.
