While it is a nice watch and super desirable, I don't agree that the pic is very good. Sure, it is crisp and detailed, but it makes the case and bracelet look very dull and lifeless. This has been my complaint with Doxa's marketing from the start. You just have to flip through the new HR:Watches mag to see how the competitors photos and marketing outshine Doxa's.Mark, while I don't totally agree with you on how good or bad the Doxa's look compared to other makers (I just looked at this months HR watches mag and a vast number are plain white background shots a la Doxa) I do agree with you about their style.
I guess the upside is that when a buyer gets the watch, they are always more impressed with the real thing.
I have had a long standing peeve at how they shoot the watches. To me for a watch photo to be esthetically pleasing for an upright front or side view the head of the watch should either be smack bang in the middle of the bracelet or towards the top. For some reason Doxa's photog shoots them with the watch head towards the bottom with more bracelet at the top. It throws off the case to me and make the watch look as if it is pointing down.
I mentioned it to Rick and I'm glag to see that he shot my Conq the way I would have.
