  1. @bazz, it's funny you mention the depth rating -- i laughed about the fact that i was bringing a watch rated to 2,000 meters despite the fact that i wouldn't be getting in water any deeper than 4-5 feet :lol:

    Thanks for your advice a while ago, I managed to get one on a rubber strap with the tegimented case.

    Yea, I agree a depth rating of two kilometres is a little over kill for most of us! :D

  2. Doxa's are great, definitely my next gen diver, probably the 750T GMT though.

    Anyone here on a gen Doxa? Always liked it. :)

    Doxa Innovations

    * First Commercial dive watch, Sub300t in 1967.

    * First watch with a rotating bezel to compute no-decompression times, Sub 300t, 1967.

    * 8 Day Movement, 1908.

    * Helium release valve; first watch with a helium release valve. In certain diving situations, helium can penetrate the watch seals and cause a pressure buildup in the watch, eventually blowing the crystal off the watch face. Doxa, in conjunction with Rolex, invented and introduced the first dive watches with a helium release valve, which prevented this helium buildup. While this was a major advance at the time, few actual watches with this feature were produced. Doxa introduced the Sub300t Conquistador in 1969 featuring a helium release valve. Rolex introduced this feature into its Sea-Dweller watch in 1971. Omega also eventually introduced a helium release valve, in its Seamaster watch.
