Doxa make fabulous reissues.

No question. But as always do the reissues help or hurt the originals.

I guess you would have to say the help in popularity but the are so close that the rarity is only appreciated by true collectors. In any case there is no real financial pressure driving demand as the prices remain conservative.

I agree with you Bill..

Doxa watches are a part of diving history and prices don’t really reflect this. The reissues a least keep the Doxa name alive.

Your Doxa connection is second to none, Bill!

And these are truly fantastic Thanks for clarifying a couple of things - never heard of the White Lung before!

To be more accurate both the Searambler and the Sharkhunter 300 (no T) share the same white lung.

Silver Lung is really a new term with the discovery of the Silver dial Searambler with a white AquaLung. The Black Lung is the one we all know about which is the professional i.e. Orange dial. In any case all these tree had extremely limited production mo...

... this made possible to me to own them. The originals have never appeared down here in my hunting grounds! I don´t feel their introduction (in limited bases by the way) could hurt the value of originals. By the contrary, the awareness of the existence o...  

Your doxa collection looks very complete. I agree the next one will be the Sharkhunter with the aqualung in yellow like the searambler.

It is hard to pick a favorite among the re edition set but the Searambler has a nice appeal together with the Professional with the Aqualung. I did pick up the same Seiko you most recently acquired. A lot of fun. Best Bill ...  

Thank you Bill! It´s a big compliment coming from a great Doxa collector like you! May be some day I am able to get a vintage one...

... to add more charm to my present collection. My favorite has always been the orange dial/aqua lung version as it represents what I recall from my youth. I feel is the more classic of all models. But then, when I received the Searambler I fell in love w... 

Great informative post Bill

I rather enjoy these dive watches and bumped into another Doxa fan/collector down here at a local Collector event, he had several modem re-issues as well as an old one. A few pics, I love the yellow dialed one! I’m afraid I didn’t snap the original one! A...
