I like that one a lot.
This is the only version I like but it is too small. The GMT hand on the other ones looks ridiculous.

We’ve gone to 40mm being too small? Yikes.

It is for me as well, 42 - 43mm is my sweet spot. Guess that's why I'm rocking a 1500t.

That vintage is the best of the lot, imo
I agree, the skeleton GMT hand was better on the 750.

Not in general. It’s in fact my sweet spot 40-42.
But Doxa 40 looks like a 37mm on my wrist. They wear very small. Like the 42 case I have wears more like a 39-40mm watch.
It’s not all about the #.

Like this one- Vintage Sharkhunter version looks best to me. Not sure if I like the skeleton GMT hand… Thanks for posting.

The fever passed, but I dig it. Maybe I’ll add another vintage

I have no interest in this because the face on my 300t Pro already wears small. I also don’t like the reduced strap size.

When they are discounted on Joma, that is the time. But 18mm lugs is just plain dumb.

oh yea, they should have made the internal bezel rotate. that was an advantage of the 750GMT. Or at least modify the external bezel for the second time zone (I know....heresy to the Doxa purists). Does anyone actually use the outer bezel anymore?

Too small and awful GMT hand.

Or at least on the Sub300T case.

If I own the vintage version I would take off the gmt hand and leave it as a 3 hands watch.

Heck - even the 300 case would've been better.
I think the flared ends on the factory bracelet and rubber strap keep the 18mm lugs from looking too weird, but it pretty much bars it from being worn on anything aftermarket.
I also agree the Vintage Sharkdiver looks the best. The other skeleton GMT hand just doesn't work.
What is kind of funny is the ghetto version addresses my gripes of the authentic Doxa. 20mm lugs and a normal looking GMT hand. Added benefit - the GMT scale is on the bezel, not the rehaut.

I tried one on today. Too small for me. I to like the 1500 T size. Rotating inner bezel was cool. The vintage color is interesting, but you cannot see the inner bezel.

Are you sure the inner scale rotates? Usually, that feature requires a second crown.
I am sympathetic to lack of visibility on the GMT scale. I own a different watch with a smaller dial and the GMT scale on the rehaut, and I can’t see it either.

Do it, Mike. Not like it's going to stay long, anyway.

A lot of mixed reactions to these; I get it. They’ll sell well because Doxa hasn’t released a GMT in years. It’s new and exciting.
Don’t be shy to PM your Doxa dealer with any questions (my PMs are are open

).
