“Jumping Ship” The Doxa Review!

in ,

doxa_1000t_orange_4

Doxa dive watches are regarded as “the” dive watch amoungst collectors. This review is checking the salt on the Doxa 1000T. To start, the traditional rice bracelet is appealing, untill you have worn the newer model styles. That aside the watch is solid, with special props for the bezel and traditional color Orange dial. Movement is nothing to write about ETA 2824, done to death, solid, boring really. A nice watch if you can grab one pre-owned and great beater watch for $1500-$1900 being tops for this piece, check the sites, let someone else take the hit initially.
Things to write home about:
1) Bezel
2) Water resistance
3) Old school- dial

Things to moan about:
1) Same movement in everything
2) Bracelet, original does not mean good
3) Price is on the high side for movement, and execution
4) Hate to break it to ya, but orange is a summer watch and carries some cheese appeal
