Doxa Carbon: Orange or Yellow?
I went into my local Watches of Switzerland last week to look at a Pelagos, and found out they were also a Doxa dealer (quite the rarity in the US, only 9 dealers total). I tried on both the sub 300 and the sub 300 carbon, and damn I am really tempted by the carbon. The sub 300 wears super thin on wrist and with weighing nothing I could see this being a great watch for when I just want to forget I am wearing a watch. The real question though, what color to go for? The main two drawing me in are the orange both because it looks great and because it is Doxa’s signature color, or yellow because the yellow and black look is just gorgeous

Yellow looks good, but I’m saying orange all the way.
Tossup
I’d go for the Professional. Either way, you can’t go wrong. 👍
Orange
I actually like the yellow one most, but orange is Doxa's signature color so I would go for that one. I am considering a 300T professional for my next purchase.
I really like the yellow but both are more than worthy of wrist time 👌
Carbon in white with the full lume dial is my preference
You can’t go wrong with either of those color choices. If you are going to do some diving then orange all the way. As you pointed out, it’s also their signature colour. But there’s something about yellow and black that always draws me in so I slightly lean that way. Absolutely killer watch 👏👏👏
I'm just not a yellow guy. I actually don't have a yellow dial yet I hope to have one soon. But the orange is nice.
I think the yellow looks really nice with the black of the case, but in addition to Doxa’s history with orange, I do actually wear orange T-shirts and swimsuit (which I imagine this will be my go to swimming watch) but I never wear yellow
Even though I just got a yellow dial watch myself, in this case I’d go for the orange! Think it fits the Doxa better.
(And then get a yellow Scurfa 😂)
Love em, there are a lot of orange watches about so get the yellow, more exclusive.👍😉😃
I took a second to decide on this one. Mind you AJ I am only voting in the point of view a visual aspect. I have no knowledge on how they function in specifications. I gravitate a lot more towards the orange color way then yellow. I like yellow visually but I don’t feel like I can pull it off anymore. Anyways, great pool AJ. ✌🏾
