offshore Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have been offered this watch- and cannot find much info on this model. Seller says its from the '60's, which I find difficult to accept, as it looks '80's or '90's to me. Movement is marked Doxa, as is the caseback. I know all the good info comes from this place, so what can the Doxa experts here tell me about this? I have the watch in hand if we need to investigate it further. Thanks guys, Offshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torobravo Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I don´t think that watch is from the ´60s, more likely as you said ´80s or early 90s. My grandfather has one and it looks totally different than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 That Doxa is indeed from the late 50's or 60's I have one very similar to yours, which was authenticated by Doxa SA, as well as Dr. Peter Millar, and appears in his book "Doxa Sub 1967-2007" Here is mine. Also a copy of a magazine ad from the late 50's or early 60's. These are pretty scarce, a few have turned up since I got mine about 8-10 years ago. Any possibility of larger sharper photos, especially the dial face on? Last photo is a pair that show some variations in dial print. mine is on the right, and only contains the words DOXA and Automatic, whereas the one on the left also has Sharkhunter, Super Waterproof and 300 Meters on the dial. I would suspect that the watch on the left is a later model, possibly the last model before the introduction of the 300 series which were the first of the Orange dial Doxas. The reason I say that is the black dialed version of the 300 was labeled "Sharkhunter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 P, Thanks so much for that info.I will take some other shots later today. This one is the same as yours, just with Doxa and Automatic, on the dial, and the condition looks about the same. Have you any thoughts on a value for these? The owner of this one wants to sell it, and is saying $700. I was a bit leary of it as it was a bit of an unknown. But if it is a rare bird, it maybe is worth that money? Thanks again for the info.

panerai153 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I believe that it is definitely worth 700 dollars. You will have a watch that you will never see on someone else's wrist out in the wild. Rare bird indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
