Frustrating Doxa CS experience: am I the crazy one?

I just got a Sub 300, LNIB, from a fellow WUSer. I love it. I don’t like the clasp on the Sub 300. I also have the Army, 300T, and 200T, all of which have the “ratcheting diver clasp.” I MUCH MUCH prefer the ratcheting clasp over the stamped, unadjustable clasp on the 300.

So I tried to buy a 300T bracelet on the Doxa website. It’s not available for purchase. I wrote an email to Doxa CS asking if I could buy an Army or 300T bracelet to put on my 300. They responded with some gobbledy-****…

Doxa Sub v some Seiko alternatives

I’ve been looking at a few diver style watches and keep coming back to these two. My first thought was a cheaper style turtle (SRPK01K). I could use for holidays/casual where I’d be possibly reluctant to take the Speedy. Also to have a G-Shock style mechanical watch.
Saw some of the new MM300 (SLA079(B) / SLA077(W)) and the finishing / design on these was really nice. But they were also AUD$4,500 as opposed to the SRPK01K (AUD$995).

Then I saw the Doxa Sub’s which were both cheaper…

Finally got to try on Doxa Sub’s – how to decide?

Tied on some Doxa Sub’s on the weekend. I think I prefer the 300 and the 250T (unfortunately the two more expensive options). The 300 has the retro chic and is both large and small (if that makes any sense) but the dial is smaller due to the nice curved crystal, the 250T has the GMT and dial is maybe visibly bigger than the 300.

The 300T bracelet end links just didn’t articulate as well as I’d like, and the 200T might be a little too small, but didn’t look bad.

Thoughts from the group…

Doxa 300T “Poseidon” Authenticity

Hello Doxa fam, a good friend of mine came across this “brand-new” DOXA 300T “Poseidon” #314.

Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of resources online to compare, and the local dealer was not much of help (need to visit a service center in the next town)

My concern mostly is that this limited-edition watch, released in 2018, is still new and unused for that long with the private seller, and I was able to snag it for a very good deal, which usually raises some red flags about its authenticity…
