georgegrasser Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Life is funny huh. If I were given that watch, I would throw it away. If I had to wear it everyday of my life and were not permitted to wear another watch, I'd blow my head off.

Martyd3 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Posted February 17, 2010 Great tip Marty. Nice score Lani; congratulations! That one was a no brainer

lanikai Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 will you get relum or keep as is? I think it would be nice either way...... I have an extra set of hands.. but regardless.. it will eventually make it's way to Ziggy
offshore Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Nice one R! Thats a pretty exclusive club you just joined. O/S
Watchmeister Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Lani- Nice pick-up but you are a mad man. And someday when you get tired of those Doxa's I'll be there. Just ask Ubi.

And this "mishigas" from one who has more projects than NASA and National Geographic combined.. He who has enough parts and watches up North to open a jewelry store, maybe 2 even.. I hear "your" bin takes up 90% of the safe. but the jury has already convened, and yes.. I am MAD , after all, we are on the same page .. Nice one R! Thats a pretty exclusive club you just joined. O/S In in ??
offshore Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 In in ?? Me? Nah, I wish! I do remember in the early days, when I was operating a dive shop, that the US Divers reps were frugally handing these out to their better accounts! Unfortunately I wasn't on that list. O/S
Nanuq Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Sorry for chiming in late, I'm just back from the gym! (yes I want to be like Lani) That's a looker for sure! The replacement crown looks great, it's easy to paint the bezel, an aftermarket Beads bracelet is likely smarter than an original wimpy one, and you ought to be able to work through the GS catalog and find a replacement crystal for it. What a score! With the "sailboat" back... a GORGEOUS "USD" Pro. Congratulations!
redwatch Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Great pick up Lani! It's a beauty! A little TLC and it will be good as new!
Nanuq Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 I do remember in the early days, when I was operating a dive shop, that the US Divers reps were frugally handing these out to their better accounts! My friend that died a couple weekends ago... he helped start up SeaLab (Man in the Sea) off La Jolla and as a thank-you for all his work Doxa gave him a USD Pro just like this one. These are a piece of dive history for sure.

I'm pretty confident that I can restore the crystal.. good enough to leave some character with the History of the watch..
offshore Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Lani, If you can locate a specific GS number you need, (or model X dia), let me know it. I have around 20,000 GS crystals sitting here. O/S
