Horological Meandering

As described in the January harvest thread (here: www.watchprosite.com for the full harvest), I am as of recently the proud owner of one of the Anniversary Doxa dive watches, namely the Searambler. I had the bracelet adjusted in the meantime and a...  

Definitely enjoying it massively 👌🏻🙏🏻

But definitely superior, a tool watch. The Patek is a dress watch. So its very different. My observation. Cheers, good divers. 👍 Geross

Now that you mention it 😊 Interesting comparison 👍🏻

I think the Doxa always looks so much better on the wrist. It fits you perfectly. It’s a watch waiting for the next adventure !

I might not be enamoured of Clive Cussler but the watch definitely screams adventure 👍🏻

I am a big fan as you know and I can never get enough. Below are three of your watches older brothers from 1967. ...  

That’s a fantastic lineup. Can you tell us anymore about how you found them ?

Each catch is an adventure. I know have a bout 25-30 of these old boys 300 and #ooT only. www.watchprosite.com

... I enjoy so much viewing your collection and reading the info you share with us! Thanks again Bill! Cheers! Abel

Don’t know if you remember but when they came out and we were discussing them in a thread (Professional, Shark Hunter, Searambler), I opined that the Searambler might be the dark horse of the lot. Turns out that’s the one I got 😉

. . . a vintage Doxa instead? I've posted this one more than a few times . . . it belongs to a friend who's a former USN diver. It was gifted to him by Jean Michel Cousteau. And he received it from his father. ;-) ...  

On a much more modest footing, I hope one of my children will be happy receiving mine in the decades ahead 🤞🏻

I always liked these historically accurate reissues from Doxa's heyday. Wear it in good health.

Health is definitely something I can use these days 😊👍🏻

... enjoy a classic Divers watch even if you wish to take them down to do the intended job. Though we usually associate this watch with the orange dial, I find the Searambler as as the most elegant option among the three colors of dials which Doxa offers....  

Was thinking about the Black Lung as well but was unfortunately too late 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks, Abel!

The crystal - is it doomed? The distorsion around the edges indicates that. Guess if I fail to find a good original Searambler…. This would be a great alternative! Best Blomman

Just like the original - a very accurate re-issue in that sense 👍🏻 Which gives it a very vintage feel...

A no frills diver, with great charm 👌🏻

That it certainly is 😊
