I honestly thought I would never write another DOXA book. I even went on record saying that.... well, that didn't last long, but there is a good reason.

I honestly thought I would never write another DOXA book. I even went on record saying that…. well, that didn't last long, but there is a good reason.

As most people know, 2027 is the 60th Anniversary of the birth of the DOXA SUB but what many won't recognise is that 2027 is also the 25th Anniversary of the start of the Marei era which was the rebirth of the DOXA SUB.

I can guarantee that DOXA will focus on the 60th and totally ignore the 25th, well that ain't gonna happen on my watch…

This is my design for a watch I wanted to make for my family. Only wanted to make 10.

It is based in the Marei Era 600T case with a 60 minute click bezel, flatter, thinner caseback and a centered HEV.

Totally brushed case and bezel and flat, no faux BOR endpieces.

Height should be around 12 to 12.6mm.

Bezel is my design. I believe it is a better NoDeCo bezel. I applied for a patent and trademarked the name Marauder.

It’s really a vanity project as a way for my kids and grandkids to…

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.
