Got one of these coming next week - I’ve had most modern Doxas; looking forward to this one, though :)

Decent video from an internet dude

Personally I like the smaller dial and domed crystal. It's the most comfortable version.

That and the T are my favorites.

Awesome Paul! That Tedddy guy is putting out some pretty good vids, and he gets great shots of the watches.

It’s great. My wife has the 300 Searambler. I actually prefer the larger dial of my 1200T, but the 300s have a lot of charm.

I really liked the feel of this watch on the wrist. My only issue was the dial and domed edges of the crystal. Looking at it was like looking thru a pair of binoculars backwards.

300 is IMHO the best doxa design, case and size. Great acquisition!
Stan, don’t you know the first law of physics? Anything that’s fun costs at least eight dollars”

― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said

Yeah he does a decent job with his reviews. He has a 6.5 inch wrist, which is pretty small, but it does help to visualize watches on a smaller wrist.

I loved my shark reissue and miss it… should have kept it since the prices jumped.

You may find the dial a little small. It feels great on the wrist and I love how domed the sapphire is- kinda like what Terry was saying but I liked it.

That’s awesome! Love the all-white hands…. The all-black on orange is what I love about the pro. I’ve lost the love of the orange hands…

Small dial is actually a plus for me :cheers:

Yep Still kicking although I wish I had slept through the rise in prices for Rolex and Omega. I can’t calculate how much money I’ve lost lol. I think I sold a ceramic GMT Rolex for 5500 at one point. :shock:

i can't believe you agree with me.

with a flat crystal you would have a lot more dial real estate. which is needed since the dial is so small.

i really like the feel of this watch case. it is perfect imo

But then it wouldn’t have been the re-release of the OG. If you want flat, that’s what the T is for.

The 300 is my favorite aesthetically, i had the Sharkhunter variant, but it wore too small for me. Dial opening made it seem smaller. The 300t fit my wrist better but ultimately the 1200 is the best compromise for my wrist. But the 300 has much more character. It looks incredible.

I had the 1200 as well; fantastic watch. I’ve had 3 of the 300Ts, in different colors and loved the size, although not a fan of the bracelet endlink abomination nor the clasp… Hoping this bracelet will be more to my liking.

But yes, aesthetically, the 300 is gorgeous :cheers:
