alphakazi Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 answered my own quesiton... Q. What is the relationship between DOXA and Jenny (pronounced Yanni) watches? Why does the fish logo for both look related? A. Ever heard about the famous Jenny Caribbean diver's watch from the seventies, water resistant to 1000m (The first 1000 meter water resistant and patented wristwatch ever mad, incorporating the monocoque design)? - The logo shows a fish but implements the 'J' from the name Jenny as well. Now what has that to do with the DOXA SUB 300T re-issue ? - The Jenny Family are also Trademark Holder of DOXA S.A. - Mr. Jenny is DOXA S.A's CEO. JENNY (pronounced YANNI), it was his grand father who contributed with his know how to build the DOXA first SUB diver watch and he also manufactured watches for names like AQUADIVE, FORTIS, PHILIP WATCHES, EISENHARDT, JACQUES DROZ, and others. The case was revolutionary in that the case was made out of 1 piece so the movement was removed from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hey does anyone know what the differences are between the 750T's and the 1000T's? I know this info for the 5000T's, but I forgot about the 1000T's. Thanks in advance. z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Here`s a link that has a chart half way down the page showing the difference in models.. http://www.doxa300t.com/1000t/sub1000t.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakazi Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 the 750 is a GMT using an ETA 2893-2 for the extra complication while the 1000 uses the 2824 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks for the info guys. Come to think of it, I think I liked the 750's more because of their larger size. I know it's only a tiny bit bigger, but every little bit helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 While size does matter, the domed crystal on the 1000T is what floats MY boat. I know it's not much of a dome... I take what I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakazi Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I agree - 45mm is perfect for me personally and being a pilot the GMT is a better choice ....waits for the rep factories to take notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 750s are my favorite too. Hopefully one of those 750T Gmt Caribbeans in I have been drooling over soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I usually tend to like domed x-tals more than flat, but I can live with it I guess. The case is what does it for me with Doxas. Nothing out there has such a unique case IMHO. Oh, and the bead bracelet is awsome. One of the most comfortable out there. I just wish it was 24mm. They did address this with the 5000's though.

alphakazi Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 5000 Military is by far my favorite of them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I didn't have the 5000 Mil, but I had a 5000T for a short time and for some odd reason it didn't do it for me. It lost a tiny bit of Doxa's traditional character IMHO. Very nice watch, but for some reason I decided to keep the 750 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadweller4000 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Guys... you scared the hell outta me. I just thought I'd missed a nice Doxa Replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Exactly! Case: simple Crystal: simple Bezel: simple Movement: ETA Dial: simple Hands: no-brainer Make sure it's orange, has beads of rice, black hands, size it like the 1000T. I kinda hope they never rep the Doxa Sub, you know they will screw up many of the details and when they get even more popular due to rep exposure, the genuine prices will go crazy keeping mere mortals like myself from being able to afford one . Seriously, the Doxa is a beauty, with great history as well. Only a rep of "super" quality would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Mmmmmmm, what model is that further up the page, all alone, crown-on, with the slightly domed crystal? 1000T? 600T? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
