My first Doxa! I've always liked the cushion case, but am not a big fan of the shiny bits on the normal watches.
So the carbon case is perfect for me!

It's very light, which is great. I immediately took the factory rubber off and will save it for whenever one of you stinkers eventually buys it off me :shifty:
Put an isofrane on and it's good to go. :bananastoner:

I had no clue they made a carbon case. I dig that.

A couple guys here have them ^ Mike is one of them - and so far they hold up better than some people apparently expect them to.

Initially yes! It feels like a g-shock. But I’m really liking that. This size is wonderful as well. I really feel like this is gonna see a lot of action because of those aspects.

Love it…I have the shark hunter and the aqualung carbon.

Wear incredible and have not seen any marks on the cases.

Throw it on a nato and you can’t go wrong!

FYI - I think the isofrane weighs more than the watch (or at least it feels that way to me)

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had

Try an Erika’s mn strap on it. It’s like going commando.

I looked at Erika’s today and man they are spendy, and even more so if you add on the black PVD buckle. Any more reasonably priced versions you guys recommend?

Roger - my opinion on these straps is buy once - cry once. I’ve tried ALL the MN straps out there an NONE match Erica’s. I have 5 and sold another one with my Omega Chrono (and regret it). They are FAR AND AWAY the best out there and they last forever. I had some that are +10 years old and still look great. ImageImage

Erika’s are the best. I have tried others and doesn’t compare.

I took the plunge and bought two - one for the Doxa and one for the Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Blue edition.
