Looks awfully similar JP, but it has been roughly 4yrs since your original Photoshop prototype.

No clue. All the colors are cool but I really like this color allot for a Doxa though.

I dig the Numa.
Much prefer it to the new one personally.
Doxa had made a better impression with this one as a breakthrough model IMO.

Johnny: The turquoise dial was Clive Cussler's idea:"...proven to be the color of the highest legibility under water."

Sounds funny to me also: During years, the orange dial was assumed as the best for legibility under water.
Sponge Bob told me that yellow was best...

I like your renditions Johnny.

I had posted up my mock ups before they release full pics.
They didn't like it posted there.

My rendition before the real deal came out.

Don't feel bad my was deleted too. Something about it may cause confusion.

Ladies and gentlemen this photo was cleaned up by Johnny, the bezel was photoshop, Please don't get confuse this is not Doxa final product or original photo. Thank you for your understanding.


JMO looking good, a shade darker would do it.
