I get that DOXA has two distinct product lines but the one really waters down the appeal of the other, especially when they send out press releases for rubbish like these. I like the SUB line for the most part but seeing this stuff makes me want to run away from the brand.

What a shock....the tread is closed. :lol: How dare someone ridicule a company that "has a history of misspellings on dials and casebacks." That's awesome!

They probably don't have anything new from the "European" models.

Wow those suck! It takes a special kind of jackass to design watches like that!

Stop with all the hate, he Trachymeter wasn't meant for the masses. It's a select piece for a special population...the best of the best. How do you think your Thoracic Surgeon times an intubation?
