New Vintage Addition

Post by sfglenrock » Fri Feb 24, 2017 2:53 pm

Just picked up this '60's Doxa Sharkhunter. Hadn't even seen one before but it's prior to Cousteau and the current Doxa styling. Comes in an HF case which is used for the Eberhard Scafograf and similar to the Seamaster 300.

Thought it was a Franken when I first saw it but found an ad in an Italian magazine which shows the early Doxa. I'm pretty happy with the find.

Thanks all! Not your usual Doxa that's for sure.

Not sure if 300m super waterproof is better than 300m waterproof. :scratch: :lol:

I definitely like that case shape infinitely better than the modern shape. The only reason I've never added a Doxa is their case shape. #hateit

Congratulations. I can only see one of three people owning that watch, and One of the three sold it to you.
