New Doxa Sub 200T
Big fan of DOXA and have always wished for a smaller case. This fits perfect on my 6.5 inch wrist. Took a risk and went for the sunburst dial. I was worried it would be too loud but in most lighting thus far it comes across as a darker less loud orange than the “iconic”. I will say, having owned a Sub300, everything seems up to the same standard except for the bezel. It seems like they may have changed something about the action. Still good but not as crisp.

I really want to see it in person. I had the sub 600t but I sold it because it was to big.
I also have a 6.5 wrist and bought my 300t because of its short lug to lug. Like how it looks, but the hardware isn't the best. Already had to get it serviced after owning it for about 3 months. Took 3 months to get it back from Doxa. Overall I'm happy with my purchase but don't think I'll be buying another Doxa. Hope you have better luck. Love the orange and the beads of rice bracelet.
One other negative I will add is that the clasp does not open wide enough to fit over my hand without having to extend the “divers extension”.

What needed to be fixed?
Congratulations, the orange is iconic for sure.
Nice pick up!!! Here is mine. ❤️

Receipt says movement wheel. Was getting harder and harder to wind. So I sent it back. They apologized for the 3 month delay and gave me a Doxa pouch. 😁

As much as I love the look of the bracelet, it was just too heavy on my wrist. Love the quick extension.
Nice watch! The “professional” dial color looks gorgeous. I have been contemplating on the Sub 200 professional but not sure how I will be able to pull of an orange dial.
Such a cool watch, keep going back and forth if it fits in my collection haha
one day i‘m gonna have one too 😼

My big negative is setting the time, the minute hand is too wide at the tip, and with my crappy vision it's hard for me to line the minutes. 🤓 looks like with your version they fixed the problem by shortening the hands.

The Sub 200t is noticeably lighter than the 300 and 300t

Yes now the minute hand actually extends to the markers. Easier to read and see.
I love the look of your watch and doxa models in general. Also I appreciate the brand history.
But when I had the chance to handle a few at a watch show in London last Septembet I was quite surprised at their build quality, as was my friend who had also been admiring them from afar.
Sadly it really put me off buying one. Having said that the new 200 does look fantastic and hopefully well put together?
Wish they bought out the army in this size
Congratulations on a great watch!
I popped into an AD last week to see if these had come in yet but sadly not. Seeing your post has reconfirmed that this one is on the hitlist!
Awsome! Something very special about this watch. Such an iconic design

If you were not happy with the build quality of the other models, I do not think you will find anything different with this model unfortunately. I still love it and the slightly lower price tag helps.

I will try and get another hands on! There is a lot to love with the design. Especially in orange!
Awesome pick up! Really want to see this in person! I also have 6.25-5 inch wrists so this size would be perfect.
This looks great!
