Considering a 300T. Temporary Trade, Anyone??
I’ve always been enticed by the 300T. The case shape and size - compared to my 6.25” wrist, however - has always given me pause. I’m curious if any of you have a 300T that you’d be willing to trade for a week for a piece in my collection you’ve been curious about. I’ve a Sinn 556, Tudor BB36, SPB185, and some lesser priced options I’m willing to send in exchange. I can give you all of my WUS sales as well as Watchexchange history. I would want the same from you, as well. A phone call would also be nice, just to verify with whom we are dealing.
FYI - I am in the Baltimore, MD area - so if you’re nearby id Love to be able to just meet up with someone to check it out Without having to trade.
Thank you in advance for your consideration :)

It started with a Timex Expedition. Baltimore, Maryland.
So I’ll start off by saying I love vintage Doxa. But in the last year I’ve bought basically every new Doxa and they all had a random issue, wether it be a bezel I could literally use both ways (sub 200) to a bezel with a ton of lateral play (300t) to a watch who’s crown had more play than a Vostok (300) I’d recommend checking out the sinn u50. doxas parts are almost all from China not that there is anything wrong with that but I feel they are kinda relying on old brand image and are not producing a product worthy of price. But they are so fun so if that kinda thing doesn’t bother you like bezel or crown issues then go for it. The movements are always pretty accurate at least. Also maybe try the sub 300. The 300t was super thicc and heavy on my 6.5 wrist and I love big divers but it just didn’t wear right.

That’s all really great information! I really appreciate that. Sinn is definitely one of my favorite brands in the Watch space, and I’ve looked at the U50 in the past. Maybe a revisit is in order…
I bought a sub200 and a 300t in the last three months, both top quality!
