Nostalgic modern diver
Small size edition. At first the dial felt microscopic but I got used to it over time, the extra pop of color makes up for it in visual impact. Doxa's lineup has exploded over the past few years and nowadays there's something for everybody but I feel they managed to stay reasonably true to their roots at least style and size wise for basic models. Plus it helps you are unlikely to bump into another one and if you did instant conversation starter. Anyway, Happy Tuesday!

I feel just the same!
Where'd you get that shark mesh for it? One of my (very few!) complaints with the Sub 300 is the way the bracelet flares wide, so I'm interested in alternatives. ...
Strap code shark mesh is great value for money
Offered in brushed and polished steel with a milled clasp, my searambler has been on this strap for years now, as I find it more comfortable than the stock beads of rice. It also wears a lot cooler in hot and humid weather. I had to touch up two loops on ...
Sizing a bit tricky
I first went for 138-152 and it was too small so I returned it and eventually got a 147-161 which is perfect. The clasp has 6 holes for manual adjustments and I generally have mine on the 3rd hole. My wrist is about 17.5cm.
Uh oh
My wrist is about 16cm and I ordered the 129-144. By my own measurements I was pretty confident that's the right size but now I worry I'll need to size up.
If it doesnt work out
They have a great return policy so I wouldnt worry too much. Looking forward to your impressions!
Nice black lung
That was my first doxa but I have to admit I don't wear it very often, I prefer the sunray dial of the searambler.
That looks superb.....
I keep seeing yours and if my interest was piqued before, it’s now obsession level!! Googling right now! Did you choose the 300 over the ‘T’ due to its size, movement or both?
The T is a much more serious watch
Lovely but chunky. The helium valve and much much serious WR rating (4x at 1200m) make it more of a competitor for the sea dweller. I think it would get in the way too much. While I sometimes drool over the T spec sheet, deep down inside I know I prefer t...
