That's a Doxa Sub 300 current generation available online and in specific retailers:

SKU: 821.10.351.10

Go on, get on out there, Dads ...

This is a great size _ I have a 9F quartz at 39, which, feel perfect on me and a 40mm spring drive, which, feels a hair large ...I'm beginning to think this discontinued 39m case is perfect for me.

Yep, I've got stuff going back and forth with a friend down south - and contrary to previous posts, I do not view watches like underwear (thank god). The unspoken rule is, however, you break it, you buy it - but otherwise: it's an object, not a family member.

Watch swapping saved me from impulse buying the new Seiko SPB317 - great watch, just not for me once I wore it for a month ... so there's that.

Next, I'm looking forward to the arrival of a Doxa - pretty excited to try one out!

Many good choices fronted here - particularly in the integrated category. Personally, I'd avoid the "get a chronograph or aviation themed piece to round out the collection" advice (no insult to those who suggested it though). I say this because I did that very thing against simply going after what I wanted at the time.

My 2 cents on the integrated market right now? The Royal is the most underrated and under appreciated of the lot - and it's a big lot currently - but you can't beat the heritage of the Tudor and its nod to the Oyster Quartz. The 38mm is (IMO) simply the best of he bunch.

Well, I've only had mine for a few weeks so I'm looking forward to tracking it - even if just antidotally. A good portion of my reasoning for picking it up was to have a "control" watch in the collection that I could count on to be accurate at a glance with no fuss.

I'm guessing part of the HAQ rating comes from the very idea that there is dedicated service for these movements at all. I don't suspect there's any such offer from the ETA - but that said, I do own a CWC Diver with an ETA quartz movement as well - and that thing doesn't seem to drift at all (!)

I own a 9F GMT so am happily on the quartz side of things but I wonder we're being a bit over-sold regarding HAQ specs. I know that the 9F movements are supposed to be watchmaker regulated, by two watchmakers, actually: one for the timing and the other for the motion accuracy - so maybe that's where the HAQ designation applies? But I write this because Marathon just released an all steel Navigator with an ETA quartz movement spec'd to 10 seconds per year as well - and that's in an $800.00 package. So what gives?
