Nanuq Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 MORE PICTURES!!!!!!!! Wow, that just reeks of cool. A Jenny Caribbean takes it to a whole 'nother level. Dig that plexi insert, the diamond bezel marker, the hands, the loooooooooooooooong lugs... does it have the Dorkfish on the back? I think the only other watch that might still find its way into my box would be a Caribbean (orange of course) or the Blancpain/Scubapro Fifty Fathoms 1000m in orange.

Hitting the sack "B" let me know what you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 PS only you and few others would know the " Caribbean" inference ..............By the way it means the blue one in Doxa parlance guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Blue is definitely the way to go n this time ne. I didn't think anyone here would be into "Yennys" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 *cough* perhaps you meant "Yanny"?! I've owned untold billions of Doxas, Squale and Jennys. The pinnacle of that search was an ultra rare Doxa Black Lung. I was able to track down 15 examples worldwide, and that pretty much agreed with the inventory of samples handed out by Vargas in surf shops worldwide.There's a whole lot of obscure, often conflicting, history with the Jenny family and their pursuits.

Sogeha Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 We no @Nanuq I didn't, but only because I didn't know. I stand corrected. As to Squale, don't tell me they are connected. Afraid I've never taken to that company at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenM Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 So can somebody explain these to me? Is a Jenny a doxa? Do doxa just sell them? Or is it like a rolex / tudor relationship? Either way I am just jealous that it's beach weather up north, our winters starting down here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Doxa I owned a Doxa TUSA once and can still bite my ass for selling her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 As far as I know Jenny did the manufacturering and I believe some design for Doxa historically and now own the Doxa brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Docthor, I feel your pain. I owned that Black Lung for many years and comparing photos and histories, I believe it was the best and most original and complete example in the world. Unbeknownst to many, there are 4 members here on good old RWG that also own Doxa Black Lungs. We seem to have the world market cornered. And then someone with incredibly deep pockets approached and made me a RIDICULOUS offer I could not refuse for the Black Lung. In his mind it was comparable to prices for vintage Rolex, and in the end I couldn't disagree. 27 minutes ago, Sogeha said: As far as I know Jenny did the manufacturering and I believe some design for Doxa historically and now own the Doxa brand. I was lucky enough to have a dear friend that was on the SeaLab and SeaLab II projects. He was there for "Man in the Sea" and he was there in the North Seas diving to the oil field manifolds. He worked with Cousteau, and was at the bottom of the Seven Seas with a trusty Rolex Sea Dweller, and to maximum depth in chambers (over 2000 feet) with it dozens of times. He used it until he had to lick the crystal to read the time, and he worked with Doxa testing their designs in the SeaLab environment before they went to market. They gave him a "special" Sub300 as thanks... and I believe that exact watch is the one I wound up with through a bizarre twist of fate. His name was Larry and he lived in Chicago for a time. During one of his many moves he accidentally threw away a box with some valuables in it... one was that gift from Doxa. So long story short, the guy I bought my Black Lung from said it came from a guy that found it in a box in a dumpster. In Chicago. R.I.P. old friend, we're still wearing your watches and talking about you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
