panerai153 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 That one is Prime time for sure. Dr Pete's got a photo or two of these in the book, but I'm sure they are as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth. I'm wondering if that was a name that Doxa thought about using, probably made up a few dials and put them on sub 300's as a "test run". Maybe they felt like Searambler was better, possibly their legal department realized that the Sea Raider name was copyrighted by someone else, who knows. Since all of the Doxa documents from that era,seem to either be lost or are kept locked up and inaccessible, we can only speculate as to the whys and wherefores that influenced decisions back in the 1960's 70's When I got the Doxa pre sub watch it was opened up and obviously was 100% Doxa. When we queried the folks at Doxa SA, all they would tell me was "yes, this is an authentic Doxa", but nothing else about the year,history, etc. they have been pretty close mouthed about anything Doxa from the past. Possibly they don't know. If all the old paperwork was thrown out at some time in the past when it transitioned from Doxa to Synchron to Aubrey, then no one knows for sure.Certainly none of the present management team was around back then.

Nanuq Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 For sale on the 'Bay? What you saw was another rarity, almost as rare as the Searaider... the elusive Silver Shark! I've only seen one other like it, and the auction ends in 7 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
