Found mine for a steal and couldn't resist ??. Actually love looking at it, but might be the honeymoon phase, but gorgeous none the less.

How much was 'a steal'? I see they're £240-odd, and that seems like a bargain already.

That a 1680 red sub? wasn't ware you could get them with blue bezel or is it a black bezel faded.

Yep Sir its a 1680 and it was black bezel but has faded over the 48 years

[AJB88]

Amazing, I'd really like a 1680 Red.

Well covered for today's video calls. What is the the no de-co timing for a one to one conducted at 100ft?

The grey nato podcast had a chat with the guy who rejuvenated Doxa and is now at Aquastar. He's a big car nut too.

That looks nice, a few copies of this in the right place could send the watch social media into a frenzy as a new release (if it’s the current shape/size).

[Ninjin]

Haha!

Unfortunately just my trusty 114060 on Rubber B.

Fitting wrist check for today with PH in mind

Rick Marei. Also behind Aquadive I believe. There's a Synchron tie in somewhere too (ISOfrane and Tropic straps).

Of the Searambler and Deepstar, the Aquastar is so far out in front quality wise. I enjoy my Doxa, but it doesn't come close to the feeling of putting on the Aquastar. The new 300 COSC is pretty close in price to what I paid for the Aquastar and I just don't see the value proposition.

With something like the Triton Subphotique you see where the money has gone. Not so much with the Doxa!

[gregs656]

It's a good chat anyway.

I am not good enough at rotating to get value out of too many watches, but I think the Doxa 200 is an interesting option at it's price point.

Not seen one of these on here before. An Oakley Time Tank. Big, fashion watch, beloved by a few people, including Chip Foose. Very, very comfortable to wear.

[Dan_1981]

Quite cool that. I think I like it.

[Uncle John]

Happy Friday all. Have a good weekend.

[Dan_1981]

Have a good weekend everyone!

Восток Амфибия мне в эту пятницу.

Желаю всем хороших выходных!

The steal was for £160 with all the discount codes on watch shop

After the week on the wrist I can report that I still love looking at it. Only slight irritants for me, and they are very slight, is the phantom date when pulling out the crown and that it's non hackable. Other than that, the size which I thought might be a tad big has grown on me, and the dial is still as beautiful as ever.

Cool, thanks.

I think I like the one with Snoopy and Woodstock, but Watchshop don't have that one.

Each to their own but I don't like that at all.

Certainly different though.

I'm glad somebody else said that.

I thought we were being haunted by JAYB.
