Mmmmmm Doxa!

Recommended Posts

It came through the Offshore door today, not working as was stated.

Probably never would with a broken mainspring!

A touch over 1 hour later it was ticking along..."just like a bought one" :)

Has now been stripped, and is in the spa. A little lube job, and fit a new belt, and voila....resurrected from the dead.

Think this one goes to the watch box...not the shop!

Ah, my friend, in the midst of a very hard two weeks, you have brought joy to the mountains of Alaska. Heark! Is that a bird singing? No, 'tis Offshore and his budding love for all things Doxa.

Doxa is a Greek word, translated to mean dignity, glorious, honor, and praise. I'm glad your glorious Doxa has been repaired to tick once more!

Let's see some photos when this beauty is put back together!

So Madame Doxa has emerged from the day spa, massaged, oiled, and has even had a new belt added to the wardrobe, courtesy of Mr Hirsch!

Pity the photographer lacks the skills to show her true beauty!

Definetly a keeper this babe.

Just beautiful, for one approaching Granny status!

Yes S, I was pretty happy with that result.

She is currently on my wrist and thus far at about 2 secs/day.

So the old girl is in pretty good health.

Had one of my collectors around today, dropping off a couple of watches...he spotted her straight away.

And an offer of $350 was immediately forthcoming.

Now I'm a bit of a $$ whore, but even that wouldn't tempt me on this one.

Maybe in a few weeks when the glow of first love recedes? Don't think so, shes here for the long haul.

More pictures, please, and let's see the 'Doxa' text, too!

I'll spend a bit of time in a couple of days and get some better shots, those were very much on the run.

And some side shots for PeteM,

Yeh, the "Doxa" got lost in all the bright lights, and the fill I used.

I've never been too flash as a photographer, however that was a real hit and run effort.

Great little watch. While the Doxa divers have become very collectible and hence not the bargains they were several years ago,the non-divers can still be picked up for a song. Quite a lot of them are in pretty good shape and are wonderful watches after a little TLC.
