The bezel could use a good paint job but I love the way this damn thing fits!

Btw I see you’re selling you’re 1500t

Are they really that different in comfort on your wrist?

The 1500 is a beast only because of the more substantial bracelet and the thicker case. It's wearable, I just prefer the overall "feel" of the 750. I don't really care if I sell the 1500 and I'm gonna try to talk Yobokies into making the 1500 endlinks to fit his excellent BOR. Then it just might replace the 750.

Gotcha

I read the yobokies bracelet was awesome..

I’ve had most of the recent (last decade or so) Doxa’s to include various 750s and I liked them all - I’m looking for a Pro now and was going to pursue a 1200 but the 1500 looks badass as well - just need to sell some stuff then pull the trigger on whatever is available at the time

My favorite 750 was the blue one with the MK V diving helmet; can’t believe I sold that one :banghead:

I'm still waiting on my Yobokies BoR in the mail. Did you keep the Yobokies clasp on the bracelet or swap in something else? I'm weighing up whether or not to replace the Yobokies generic double-locking clasp with one offering a bit more adjustability...

Talking to Harold today, he told me he needs a 1500t case in order to make a BOR for it. Surely someone in HK could swing by...

I ordered my 1200T Yobokies at the end of July, right as HK Post reopened after months of COVID lockdown. Harold shipped it straight away but warned me Surface Mail would take at least two-and-a-half months to reach the U.S.; courier delivery was close to $50, nearly half of the cost of the bracelet itself, but it would have likely gotten here within a week or two. Even if Harold gets a 1500T case, getting you the bracelet will come either cheap or easy, but not both.

It's fine because he told me this up front. Also the stock Doxa BoR is surprisingly comfortable, considering that it isn't a true BoR with independent links and the clasp is most made of Toblerone.

True the 1500t bracelet is comfortable as hell, but to me there's something about a Doxa that just needs to be in a BOR, either individual beads or the fused link. Although I do enjoy wearing the 1500 into the local jeweler when sells Rolex. I'm only the second person in town he's seen with a Doxa and the bracelet impresses him.
