what about the hands size? will the normal 2836 hands fit on 2893-2?

@ pete--try using a 2836 datewheel, it has the "step" and I've found that's enough to get the DWO over the gears.

@ Bll--All 2893-2 are "jumping GMT hand" from the factory. You can tell by looking at the GMT hand wheel, you can see the detent spring.

Redwatch - do you know what BK did to your movt to make it a jumping GMT? I rmb 2893 was not a jumping GMT? Also, do the hands fit rite onto the 2893 or BK had to glue them? I was planning to do a watch like yours, then afraid the hands from the noob wont fit....

Too mainstream, centered dial text, just another big gnarly watch. No thanks! If you can't go vintage, then find a 600T Pro.

what about the 1500T pro? same specs as 5000t with off center dial......the only thing is that i cannt wear an orange watch to work everyday.... ....it would be a great choice for vacation in maldives....but .....too bright to be a daily beater?

Step awaaaaay from the Doxa. This is not the Doxa you are looking for.

Why?....I have been researching for that model for sooo many days...and since they run out of the prof version.....this is the next best in line....

Were you showing that sharkhunter as an example of the "old" sub? ...oh..okay..totally thought you didnt like neither of these 2.......I think that ugly one is just for asian market....they have a totally different Doxa line....I am not sure what's going on... but if you go onto the Doxa's main website...all the subs are still there and they are very nicely designed just like the old ones....I am ordering a 5000T Caribbean myself.... ..that's why I just sold bunch of my collections....off the topic....Anyone is reading this...I still have a gen Maranello for sale in the Gen sales section....help me get the funds for the DOXAAAAA!!....

that trachymeter .........is WRONG on all levels.....however, the 1200T sharkhunter....I thought its pretty decent....why do you say its not what it was anymore? its got the same bead rice, split dial print, etc....everything is pretty much the same as the old sub, I dont see anything different?

now if i could only figure how to check the chinese site to track my package!!!! He gave me a translation link but even after the site doesnt make sense! PITA!

check your local post service website - once its mailed out from china (assuming its shipped by EMS), you will be able to check from your end.

just buy a new watch ....man...it will prob cost u more to get a movt and get it installed....get a new watch is $30.....lol

Post pics! I'd be interested in seeing how good the leather really is. I really hope it's not some cheap bonded or bi-cast leather...

they are really good, and fits me perfect. go to ebay, the pics on ebay are better than i can take..hahah...

I acutally think my hood is a little too shallow ... but then im quite tall so i sort of stoop forward.

mine is 3 hrs away from me...hahah...shipping was faster than any watches i have ever ordered...will prob get it tmw..

if you dont wanna that daytona anymore, sell it cheap to me.

Just after I received that one with the hood, I was getting dressed to go out and said to one of my housemates "hey, like my new jacket?" she paused for literally about 10 seconds while staring at me, then said "you look fcking awesome".

I said "thanks, thats what i was going for".

Only downside is that those cuffs make it hard to show off a watch.

pics pics.....you cannt talk, only pics talk....

they should because i'm just about to get that brown one too! it's stunning!

which brown one? the one with the hood? hhahhah.....i ordered first, so they will process mine first i hope....

I almost bought that one myself. The expanding/strechy cuffs will mean the sleve legth will work out fine, because they will force the sleves to stack up.

wouldnt that make the sleeves lookin weird? whole bunch stacked up on ur forearm?

Which one did you buy?

They make it after you order, so it takes a while. My first one took 4 weeks, second one took two weeks.

This one~

I wear XL in most things. Their XL fits me great.

I just bought 1.....lets see how it fits me..hahha..I am still concerned about the fit....76cm for arms?????...i am not ape~~

.

normally how long do i need to wait for the shipping?

Yeah I was a bit nervous about that with my first purchase. If you have a well fitting shirt you can get a tape measure and try out some of the measurements listed and see if they are about right for you. For me the back and length sounded fine so I ordered one. Lots of their jackets have sleves that are designed to 'stack' down your arm, so the arm length sounds really long. Also keep in mind that leather moulds itself to your body over time, espcecially across your shoulders.

wat size do u normally wear? and how r they comparing to ur normal size?

how do you know what size to get? I am thinkin about getting one from them, but I dont know what size to get and concerned about the fit.

Glad to see u enjoying it...it is nice to know that finally somebody takes this watch out of the watch box =P...

Rock fits nicely.....and i personally like nudie slim jim dry japan....it is the best fit i ve ever had....truth is too loose...

you must love China....ur shoes are like "beijing.....shanghai"...

hahha....btw...great watch....!

a7750 is not bad....if i liked Hulot..i would go for the $700 range ones.....if you got bad luck..(i.e movt problems...) send it off to Rob...he is in Canada too....(like 1 hr flight from ur province......).....

Edit: sorry...didnt read ur post fully....looks like u already contacted Rob.....but ..yea...ur first 3 watches are probably just bad luck....i never had a rep that runs like urs.....regardless the movt....asain or eta....they all run fine...

Hey guys,

Noob question as stated in the topic. Can somebody clarify the difference b/w 17j and 25j swiss 7750 besides the very obvious difference such as jewels...etc.

Thanks,

Bll

I have a concord using the same mov't. Brought to a watchsmith the other day and was told that it would cost me around $500 to service it due to the complication.....I was thinking about replacing it too.

hahha...back in 2004-2005....I was one of their customers (idealwatch or something).......lol....geeez.....I am really glad that I made it here...
