Nanuq Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Greetings gents, I'm on vacation with the delectable Ms. Nanuq and having a blast. I just had to share the good news, I'm a papa twice again! First up is a lovely aged and grey 1680 MUCH in need of some Zigginess. Next up is more than what I'd been hoping for: I decided I needed to add a Doxa to the family, so started some major research. I settled on a 300 Sub, with the high domed plexi crystal. Then I discovered *THE* 300 is called a "black lung" where there's a US Divers logo on the dial, all in black against the orange. There are supposedly 7 of them known to exist, all produced as demo pieces. Can you smell a COMEX/Rolex parallel here? Each is individually engraved on the lugs. Well, I just got one. Pictures will be forthcoming as the pieces arrive home. Cheers all! Now buy some of my stuff so I can pay for these beauties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Very nice Freddy, that is a 300T reissue of the original. It has the flat sapphire crystal, where mine is domed plexi. That has the USD logo as an outline, mine is filled-in black. Nice pieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nanuq - Those are the closest pics I have in my archives, but I thought it might tide you over until you receive the real deal. Congrads again. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Tonight it's red wine on the balcony watching the waves roll in with the ever-delectable Ms. Nanuq If you can crowbar yourself away from the delectable Ms. for a few minutes, how about a wristie or 2 with the wine & waves as the backdrop against a sunset.......or even without the sunset?
