NWA - Checking my list off one at a time.

Yesterday Fed Ex brought me another package. In it was this Doxa Sub 300T. I am a big fan of diver watches and a few years ago made a list of classic, famous divers. It contains the Submariner, Seamaster, Longines Skin Diver, Blancpain 50 fathoms, ECT. On this list was the Doxa 300T. A diver with extensive heritage, and history. So now I own one. Very impressed with the classic style, and overall quality.

If you have any recommendations that are not on my list, please let me know. Thought on Doxa?

Love it, can't beat a turtle case for comfort.

Here's my Seamaster, chose this over the SMP as it's less flashy & more historical

How about a CWC dive watch? Relatively inexpensive compared to the others and has an cool history.

Also don't discount Seiko - no dive watch collection is complete with out a Seiko diver. I've got a few, prefer the Willard over the 62MAS as it's more individual. 👍🏻

It's nice, but have you looked into vintage super compressors?

I do love it, but already own the SMP 300 in blue.

I have concerns about vintage and their water resistance. I simply prefer modern interpretations. It's is beautiful though.

·

Yema Superman is a good and historic dive watch to perhaps look into adding to your list. Your list is already solid.

·

Squale did some nice watches in the 60's.

·

Not familiar with the Blancpain 50 fathoms ECT.

What does the ECT stand for?

Been thinking a lot about adding a Doxa to my collection…worth the jump you think? I’m getting the itch for something new for summer 🙈🤠

·

Congrats! Love my Doxa too. Great choice in colorway 😉

Awesome! The bracelet is great. I’ve never tried the rubber strap. What do you think? I’ve never even put it on a nato though I’ve thought about it.

Congratulations! If I win the lottery I'll buy all the colors.😄💙🧡🩵💜🖤

It may not have the heritage of others but is one of the most beautiful; nice DOXA, they have some colors I would prefer because is a watch that looks incredible in extroverted colors, they nailed with this one.

Absolutely. I do have the Seiko, my list is 20 deep. Didn't want to list everything out. Couldn't agree more.

I'm not a Nato guy. I can't get over the tails that stick out. The rubber is awesome, and the clasp is as good as the one on the bracelet. Highly recommend!

From one Doxa Sub owner to another. Best of luck. ⌚

Love the Beads of Rice bracelet.

Great choice love the use of Doxa orange. Cool and historic.

Doxa is and always will be one of my favorite brands. One day I will get the Clive Cussler

I did consider it, but it I was concerned the color way would limit me. I went for the safe choice.

I guess my style is limited 🤣 cuz it would match almost everything I wear no problem.

Great lookkg warch, I love the colours on this Doxa.

I’m very drawn to divers too, and the one I’d recommend is the Seiko Willard SLA033. You can’t get them new any more, so pre-owned only,and they are a high end prospex model with a 8L35 movement from GS. If you like the original Willard this is the one to get.

Just took a look. Very cool. Like it on the tropic.
