Doxa Sub 300 (no T) One of these watches is 50 years younger.

I have seen many companies reworking old models into their new line up. You can call them hommage or re-edition like the great job Tudor has done with their heritage line. But here Doxa has really met the challenge with a faithful re-edition like no other...  

You have to admit they did an amazing job keeping all the proportions.

They recreated the dome in crystal vs the original plexi. Unfortunately the parts are not interchangable so the 50 year olds still have zero parts but ETA power house ticks strong so no worries.

True. [nt]

Well you had a 50/50 chance since the US Divers logo wasn't used on the reissue :)

DOXA did do a fantastic job on the reissue. The size of the dial gives me a bit of pause but it's very faithful to the original. Great collection!

It has great balance just like Rolex Sub or GMT of the era.

Here you can see the Doxa Sub 300 no t next to the Rolex 5513 Comex. 300 meters vs 200 meters. LOL. ...

I caught a glimpes of a "white" no T in your collection???? Wow sounds interesting.

It's always the middle man :) [nt]

The fresh lume and signed crown give it away...

But little else (to my untrained eyes). Exceedingly well done IMHO! Congratulations on your latest addition, Bill, it really is quite something. Speaking of which - if I recall correctly, they are only available to be ordered online from the manufacturer.... 

Very easy to order online. I beilieve still available at the preoder price.

You really can't go wrong with either of the three colors. Let me know if you need some help chooising. Bill

I've been checking their website today...

 
 By: KMII : January 7th, 2017-09:17
And now I really want one, even though I shouldn\'t... But theoretically, which one of the three would you recommend?

So far I have just tried the Sharkhunter.

 
 By: Bill : January 7th, 2017-09:29
I would say in order of popularity it would be. 1. Professional - Orange 2. Sharkhunter - Black 3. Searambler - Silver But I have not comitted to that order yet. Will play around a little more. Bill

Thanks for this...

 
 By: KMII : January 7th, 2017-09:44
I like the Sharkhunter a lot. And the Searambler seems like a bit of a dark horse but in the end all three are really, really nice

Great pictures

Glad to hear they catched up with you at long last. For the untrained eye it may be very difficult to spot the original ones. Do you have a favorite among the three colors? I have been double wristing my original and re-edition during my vacation and I wa... 

I think the really hit out of the park with this faithful re-edition.

 
 By: Bill : January 7th, 2017-09:11
50 years old vs brand new - as you said you can barely tell them apart. I will photograph the Professional next (a few snaps as my pictures are always on the phone) and see the line up. If the seconds hand really sticks out as they have said and it bother...  

Indeed, they did a great job!

Oh my God!
