If you have big glaring concerns about Doxa, I would recommend you buy one. You won't be disappointed. Doxa makes a watch that is second to none.

It's a cool looking watch, no doubt. The dial is def. cool, but for that kind of money I'm going for the most I can spend for the best watch. UTS makes their own cases in Germany, one guy makes them by hand. You can't beat that for assurance.7Pines wrote:Oh, I agree 100%. Doxa's customer service seems to always be questioned.
BTW, that yellow Divingstar is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
I'm somewhat unique in that I snagged a near-perfect 1200 Pro and that will be my "lifetime" piece. I don't have the kind of bread to be wheeling and dealing in the Doxa world. I am more than happy with my 1200, but I hear others when they talk of QC and CS.

UTS is definitely an acquired taste -- those lugs aren't for everyone...demer03 wrote:It's not about assurance. Different watches push different buttons individually. Buy what you like....like what you buy. I personally have danced around UTS. No doubt on the provenance, but I am not sure it would stick....but, it's all personal.

A bit over the top, I hate the forum and the company wears me out, but the watches aren't as bad as you are painting it.....Why does it even matter? He's probably more concerned about his dives, then where the case of his watch was manufactured.dbjd wrote:Anybody seen Dive Detectives? When I see the Dad rocking his 750? I always cringe, a little.

Seriously. If your Doxa hate is making you embarrassed for somebody on TV, the problem is with you not them. The DD guy no doubt likes his Doxa because it's a great tool to wear while he actually dives. My guess is that if he read this he'd be embarrassed for you because you're spending time with a bunch of desk divers on an internet site quibbling about Walca.demer03 wrote:dbjd wrote:Anybody seen Dive Detectives?

Thank you Cesar....even if you like those squirrelly Japanese watches....hks3sgte wrote:Like I said before, as a dive watch instrument, a Doxa meets all the requirements. Highly legible dial, large minute hand, functional bezel.. etc

That actually doesn't look half bad.7Pines wrote:Well, Doxa pushes all the right buttons for me. Sometimes arguing over different watch brands is like arguing for your favorite color.
This site is, btw, highly entertaining! I love reading the threads, and moderation is fairly light, which is refreshing. Almost got kicked off the WUS Doxa forum awhile back. Gotta pretty much toe the line over there. Understandable though, as Doxa moderates.
What do you think of this combo? I purchased this tropical Flieger for a chrono I once had, then thought the 1200 might look good wearing it. I like it, personally. Some wouldn't dream of putting a dive watch on leather, but I think it works.
