Thanks for reviewing the Doxa, I have the Carribean and love it, so I enjoyed your review a lot. The Doxa is so legible despite a small dial with a lot going on on it, its incredible. Its such a fun and friendly watch yet it packs the punch of a Sea Dweller. Congrats on your color choice, that turquoise really pops on the matching Isofrane. I like to wear mine with an Erika’s Originals, takes the heft off and super comfy.

[@calsurflance5598]

Excellent interview. I own a Sub6000T professional (no longer in production) . I met Jacques Cousteau’s son, Jean -Michel Cousteau , a couple years ago and he wears a well worn Doxa to this day. I have used mine when I dive in addition to a dive computer. My complaint is , on the big case 6000 series, the Iso Fran rubber strap is way to stiff and doesn’t fit right. With just the screw bars in, you can’t even get a nato strap to fit. And with the bracelet fitted to my wrist for every day wear, the extension is not sufficient to fit over a 5 mil wet suit. I can add a link to fit over a wet suit, but then it will be too loose for every day wear. Also, too anyone who is curious, a helium escape valve is only useful to a saturation diver during decompression in a pressure chamber. World wide, there are only a few thousand certified SAT divers, and far fewer who even work in that field. So a HRV is useless to the vast majority of people who actually get in the water. And that’s something you now know!👌

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

I got the sub 300 t searambler two weeks ago and it’s an amazing watch and I’ve been obsessed with doxa for ages. It’s the most I have spent on a watch but I’m glad I did. Thinking of selling my others and making this my one and only, that’s how much I love it hahaha

Not a bad choice man. It's tough enough to survive almost anything and yet cook enough to wear with semi formal attire like a shirt and pants while not looking out of place.

Excellent review! One detail to add is that the newer 300T now comes with a helium escape valve. The only other change is that the clasp now has simpler and sharper lines...personally I preferred the clasp on yours.

[@kevinong1735]

Ah… We share the same tastes in Doxa watches: the Sub 200 Sharkhunter and the Sub 300T Aquamarine. The Sub 200 Sharkhunter is definitely on my short list. When it came time to purchase my first Sub 300T however, I went with the orange Professional because that was the choice of old school divers and, of course, Dirk Pitt! But why must I force myself to choose between the Professional and the Aquamarine, when I can eventually have both…? 🤔😉

[@BraveBeaters]

haha, cant go wrong either way, it is true indeed, the iconic sub300 must be orange.

[@malkinmalone]

I’ve been thinking about getting this watch for over a year. I love the aquamarine. I really need to get one. Most watch fascinations I have disappear in a few weeks but this one remains. The fact that they ate stilling making the same watch as back when they started makes me really want one. Such a classic look that has withstood the test of time. That’s really rare with watches.

[@BraveBeaters]

fully agree with you, an iconic, timeless design :)

[@Jungleman707]

I've had mine for a year now, and it's still a total joy to look at. It has a lovable quality, I'll never sell it. I have the Caribbean, which is actually very Ionian in its colours. And 1200 meters waterproof, it is essentially a Sea Dweller for under two thousand dollars, with the same pedigree but without the waitlist.

[@Jungleman707]

The same guy who brought the Doxa back to life, is now resurrecting another timeless iconic design, the Aquastar. Check it out too.

Good video, love the Doxa range, however 38 hour power reserve and no antimagnetic movements, Certina and Tissot can do them why not Doxa ?

[@clontstable1]

Maybe I copped out, but I purchased the Seestern version with the Seiko NH35 movement. I think if Doxa would have brought the price of their 300t more in line with the 200t, I would have gone for it. Also, I own some Christopher Wards with the SW-200 movements for about half the price each. While they are solid Swiss movements, they’re nothing spectacular. I hope I did get too many negative remarks, but I find my Seestern to be top notch in quality & looks.

Thanks Radu! Appreciate your support and feedback, as always :D First vacation and a tryout, it's not why to shoot outdoors but this time, went pretty well :) I think the chassis, the 300T platform is thicker aand can serve as a 2 - 3000 meters, dept rating watch, anyway, Doxa is known for doing strange things :D

Glad I could help! :)

I have a 6,5” inch wrist and wear a sub 300t searambler and it fits perfect for me. even though the bracelet adds to the lug to lug, it’s never been a problem :)

Hi, well it is a bit heavy on the bracelet, the bracelet links are solid also the clasp, it gives you that safe feeling.

[@Jungleman707]

Wear it on an Erika Originals strap it becomes really the perfect sports watch, you lose the weight and it hugs the wrist. Have a look on Instagram, a lot of Doxa fans wear their watches on these straps. In fact Erika's husband is a vintage Doxa collector, and thats how she got into making these straps, for her husband, then his buddies started asking and now she has a successful business.
