Brand new Maranez GMT.

This is based on the Samui Vintage which is modeled on the DOXA SUB 300. It uses a similar "Top Hat" sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating.

Movement is the Miyota 9075 automatic GMT

Case diameter is 42mm excluding the crown – lug to lug is 45mm and height is 14.5mm

Brand spanky new. I bought it for a project but ended up making something else with a Seiko GMT movement.

Comes with Isofrane style strap and warranty card, but not the watch roll…

Chaps, many people have asked about an alternate BOR bracelet for the 300T. Not everyone is a fan of the thicker adjustable clasp and would prefer something like the one on the 1200T bracelet.

The problem with other BORs is the fit with the 300T endpieces. The Supraparts bracelet DOES NOT work because the bead spacing is different to that on the DOXA bracelet

Well, here is the answer. It just arrived. I got it from AliExpress for just less than 35 bucks.

It is almost 250 pages and I made it 6 x 9 inches format to keep the cost down. It is available through LULU and if you are going to buy it do a google search for LULU discount codes. There are a bunch of 10% and 15% codes. WELCOME15 used to work but if not…
