dbutlerman Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 I've been trying to find one of these over the last couple weeks, searching the Gen. Forums like crazy without luck...then I remembered that RWG is quite a DOXA stronghold. So I placed a WTB, and what pops up - a nearly new 1200t Searambler! I almost went with the Professional (Fully Orange Dialed), but I couldn't summon up the courage - maybe sometime in the future ...for now this does a lot to add a bit of color to my herd of Black Dialed Omega Divers. Here are a few pics:
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 I like doxa very much and i habe to say that i prefer this dial over the orange one! Very nice, congrates mate
Ronin Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Looking good. Wear it well my friend. Your photos are excellent. Here is an old -vs- new comparison:
dbutlerman Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks Zeleni! @Ronin - Thanks! Glad you had one available! Still wearing it! It's running a bit fast - but I've got that sorted now - will check again in 24 hours - but according to my timer - it's at +2/day!
Nanuq Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 What a beauty! Boy that's nice, even if it isn't orange. Congratulations!
Ronin Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks Zeleni! @Ronin - Thanks! Glad you had one available! Still wearing it! It's running a bit fast - but I've got that sorted now - will check again in 24 hours - but according to my timer - it's at +2/day! That is great for a non-COSC movement. My "Professional" runs about +12.
dbutlerman Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Posted March 22, 2012 That is great for a non-COSC movement. My "Professional" runs about +12. I know - I was really impressed too! My COSC spec'd Planet Ocean us running at +5...
gran Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 What a beauty! Boy that's nice, even if it isn't orange. Congratulations! Envious?
Nanuq Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Envious? Never! That's one of the Deadly Sins isn't it??
redwatch Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Nice pickup!!!! Definitely a fan of the Searambler!!!
dbutlerman Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks guys...I'm really happy with it!
dbutlerman Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 Just under 24 hours out, and I've lost less than 1 second WOW!
Nanuq Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 That's impressive. Take that sucker out and dive with it! Tell us how she responds.
dbutlerman Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 I really need to get certified! But, summer is just around the corner and San Diego is a good place to learn! Or...maybe I need to talk my wife into a trip to Maui - that might be even better
Ronin Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 I did my open water cert dives in/off of Maui. Nice 74 degree water, awesome sea turtles to see, and if you dive master is cool, some volcanic rock formation/arches that are fun to pass thru. These shots were taken in Maui.
dbutlerman Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 Nice Shots Ronin! Do you remember what company you did it with?
Ronin Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Yes, I brought my PADI paperwork, and the wife and I did it with with Trilogy Tours dive master. Although it looks like they replaced their "SCUBA" links on the website with "SNUBA" (crap). Hmmm, might be worth checking with them. (It was in 2009 when they had Dive Masters and SCUBA on their boats. ) http://www.sailtrilogy.com/
dbutlerman Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 I am familiar with Trilogy. When we go we usually stay at the Westin in Kaanapali Beach and they "Dock" right in front of the hotel. I'll have to get it done next time I'm there! Thanks for the info!
modelizer Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Ahhh, Maui.. What a lovely island.. Brings back some fuzzy memories of my Paia stay as a youth..
dbutlerman Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 Your Paia...did you grow up there?
modelizer Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Nah, was just hanging out there for a while "in between things".. Did manage to get some surfing done though.. Ahhh, good times!
dbutlerman Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 Got it! It's a wonderful place, and I'd move there in a heartbeat if I could get my wife to come with me
modelizer Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 I totally agree! It's a magical place and I wouldn't mind packing up my little family and move there either..
