I would like people's opinions to help guide me to a decision. I hope some of you will indulge me with your opinions.

I have decided I want to buy a Carbon Doxa 300. It will serve as a holiday, activity watch and to be worn when I want zero stress about what is on my wrist. For example, I'm going to the Ryder Cup for 5 days and I don't really want to take my Sub when I'll likely out till late in Rome every night after a few. Anyway, enough on what I will use it for.

What dial colour!? I'm fixed on Carbon case and fixed on black strap. I don't want Orange as I have an Orange PO. I am torn between Aquamarine which I think is beautiful and the Whitepearl. The Whitepearl has a fully lumed dial which is epic and be super helpful when camping etc.... But is white a bit boring normally?

Is Aquamarine a bit of a Patek Nautilus, Rolex OP, Tiffany fad?

Ideal would be Aquamarine with a lumed dial....but that is not possible....

Then there is Yellow, which pops against the black.



Help!

Aquamarine or yellow with the black strap both look good but my choice would be the white dial with the white strap.

You should buy the orange one.
Whilst we're telling you what you prefer...
Tie your shoelaces in a double bow.
Your favourite band is TFF (not the years without Curt).
Select a direction, either up or down (never side to side) and stick to it when wiping your backside. Change paper after each wipe, it may be prudent to double up on paper thickness.

Imho a Doxa has a Yellow or orange dial, the others are not so indicative of the brand. Tho the turquoise looks amazing online.

I agree with this.. so in your case the yellow if you already have an orange one. If it were me I'd possibly go for the black dial with orange hands on this carbon model though.. nice and stealthy

Yes, I saw that, they must be overstocked on the black dial. It is very tempting.

If you are going carbon case, I’d say the white every time.

Love the contrast and the lume.

Leaning towards white due to the lume. Aquamarine and Black dial are on sale however. Will waste a few hours tonight trying to make my mind up. Then try get a discount.

Anyone aware of WOS or other offering discounts on these?

I've got the 300T in aquamarine. It is a striking watch, but not one to wear with a long sleeve shirt as it's quite bulky. I think the 300 isn't quite so tall.

Looks stunning. Find yourself wearing it in the summer only? Or all year round?

Thank you. I've only had it since April, but it feels like a summer watch to me.

I bought a Doxa Sub 200 in Aquamarine for a colleague for putting in a 10 year shift.

He loves it and it gets lots of positive comments.
