laughing.gif YOU really crack me up on a daily basis!!!

I had heard some parts were made in Asia but never seen confirmation. I am sure I missed a thread or article.. that said ifg the end product is of high quality, some folks don't mind where some of the parts came from. That said I don't think I'll ever pay full price for a Doxa, Asian parts or not.

Now back to the 4000T I have to say that the mvt interests me and seeing new pictures the case has grown on me but somehow somethinig seems off, proportions maybe... not sued to see so much dial? Not sure..

The things that do bug me about it, and it is just a matter of taste and my opinion, nothing against Doxa as I love their subs in general...:

- PR roo large and invasive

- Safe Dive verbiage mistake.gif

- Polished Center link!!mistake.gifmistake.gif Like that darn poslished outter bezel was not enough to worry about. I just don't like polish SS in general. Just me.

- Bracelet design in general. Just not my taste. and no 1/2 links. Will be tough for some to size right.

- Hand not painted/finish all the way arond. Edges look rough. Seems unacceptable at this price point, at least to me.

But if I held it in my hand, it may be a different story but it is my opinion based on pics.

I also was somewhat disappointed by some of the Doxa staff replies to members.
