This just goes to show me how much I do not know abour these movements. Thanks for the clarification. It appears as though a Doxa is in my near future. What are your thoughts about the 1500T versus the 4000T? Will the 2892-2 really be a noticably inferior movement if I go for the 1500T? I have never had either, so...newbie question.
Thanks!
No problem! Well, I don't own any Doxa or even been seriously interested in buying one on my side but it seems like the usual serials are housing a 2824-2. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this movement called the "Tractor", who's very reliable but not as achieved as the 2892-2.
Other Doxa serials housing a 2892-2 would be a preferable choice due to the fact that this movement is of higher or chronometer grade.
Those higher grade Doxa models are quite expensive and I personally find them way too expensive for what they offer.
The controversy about Doxa Asia and it's Asian Walca factory finally pushed me away from those watches: In fact, if the new Swissness law is enforced, I wonder how Doxa will handle it...
Well, I will not dig up some old corpse but you have my personal opinion.
Remember to do not buy a watch for the name: Buy it for what it offers you for the price.
In my eyes, If you pay about 2000$ , you should have something from a manufacturer who's transparent or clean about his part's origin.
On my side, lately, Aquadive attracted my attention because of the transparency about them case fabrication: In Germany.
Kazimon had the same effect on me with them 100% inhouse case, 100% German parts and customization possibilities(even with movements).
They are achieving what many "Swiss-Made" brands are still not doing due to the actual "Swiss-Made" law percentage that they take advantage of.
Owning already a Kazimon 1500, I would go for an Aquadive Bathyscaphe 100S...
But it's your choice!
