...My bad on the pic size...very sorry about that...
You guys crack me up regarding the 4000T...but I love that about everyone here at 3T...straight up comments all the way with no need to beat around the bush!!!
I agree 1000% regarding all the build up and hype on this one from Doxa...heck, I thought it wasn't going to even look like a Doxa given all the pre-hype comments about it being a groundbreaking new Doxa that would be totally different in design than the traditional Doxa. To me, it's an evolution of the much loved Doxa case design (and I'm very happy about that because IMO...it's what gives a Doxa much of its appeal)...and as I said, the small changes in the case design on this 4000T are my primary likes of this new one. The biggest departure for me is the lack of a BOR design bracelet, but I'm not convinced that I hate the new bracelet...and I'm at least happy that the bracelet on this one has that cool Doxa ratcheting dive extension courtesy of the 5000T.
I also agree with you guys on the 'safe dive' wording on the power reserve...yes, cheesy and gimmicky...I think I might be able to get over it, but I wish it said simply "Reserve" or something like that...
I continue to like the size of the case on this one...the 750T is one of my favorite Doxa models (and I always love to see Mark's 750T Pro in the daily lineup!!!), and I like that this one is sized similarly to the 750T.
All IMO...but the pros continue to outweigh the cons on this one for me...not to say that I won't pick up a 750T first...
Some resized pics below (in addition to some close up shots of the bracelet with ratcheting diver extension):
Overall it's a nice watch, but it doesn't get my heart jumping or excited, hopefully the sapphire version will.
