With original box. Can’t wait.

Nice! Congratulations. I always have a soft spot for yellow dials.

What year is it?

It looks like someone really used and enjoyed that one! I like a watch with some honest miles on it.

Are you going to try to repaint the bezel? I can't tell from the photos if there is enough depth left in it to hold the paint.

Yep, have a bracelet and I’ll redo the bezel.

Did you see Peter M.'s blog about redo'ing those old bezels? It is located here: https://www.doxa300t.com/newbezel/newbezel.htm

He found that Maranez bezels will fit some of these old cases. Maranez will sell parts, so you don't have to buy the entire watch.

This way you could keep the worn bezel as is, and run the aftermarket for day-to-day activities.

I think there was a slight height difference between the authentic bezel and Maranez (Maranez being slightly taller) but it was not noticeable from Peter's photos. If he hadn't specifically pointed it out, I would not have noticed the difference.

I have to reach out to Pete on that. I’m not sure if the bezel would translate to Vintage.

Yes, definitely worth the phone call. 2 minutes with a caliper will give you a good idea if it will work.

At least the Maranez parts are fairly inexpensive. My guess is the biggest PITA will be the bezel removal.

I agree.
