Almost worth buying for parts. O/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 It's a nice looking Searambler, BUT, as I have said before, finding Doxa parts is a long running lesson in futility. I know, I've been there, done that and got the Tee Shirt!. From the original 300T through the Synchron era and finally the Aubrey ownership, Doxa produced the sub 300T. If you look at the watches, outside of some superficial changes, screwdown crown to non screwdown, Sailboat to Synchron's 3 legged Symbol to the Aubrey Freres cubes, they all look pretty much the same. Au contraire, they are all different! I had at one time 4 different spare bezels I had accumulated, of the four, only one fit any of my Doxas, and it had and almost perfect bezel to start with. Just looking at the bezels, you couldn't tell them apart, but try them on your watch, then the fun began. Possibly a metalworking maestro like jmb could make some of them work, but lacking the tools or metal working skills, you are largely out of luck. As someone above said, the reason this one is on the 'bay is totally because of owner frustration. With the bezel, it's probably a 1k watch, without it, it's a parts watch, unless you get incredibly lucky. Here's what i mean about different bezels!! Here is my herd (most are gone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
