Ok guys this is my first post here. I have spent an unbelievable amount of time (and money) on the Doxa Forum. I am actually their newest moderator. I work with Scottie. He recently got an Orangia and I have coveted that watch ever since he got it. I thought maybe it was time for me to branch out a little. Bear with me as I try and learn the Orsa.... Here is a pic of my Prize Doxa........  Last edited on Fri Jul 27th, 2007 12:49 pm by jclevoy |

There I was thinking that Poseidon Divingstar was about the rarest of the rare... And here you go pulling out that US Divers Pro w/ Mint BOX!? No points for "piling on" buddy.. That's just poor sportsmanship!  *(Just... Fantastic... WATCHES!! ) rev_smile.gif |

That Synchron Pro is a real prize as well. I feel very lucky to have found it. Story is that a gentleman had it for the better part of its life sitting in a safe and rarely worn. The guy that I bought it from had it for about 1 year. IT HAS NEVER HAD ANY WORK DONE TO IT!!. It has had the back off one time. No restoration. I love that watch and only wear it on a very special occasion. |

I had an easier time finding my Divingstar at a decent price and there are only 100 of them. If I had a "grail" watch it would be the Caribbean. |

I actually have each of the Caribs. Carib GMT, "RR", and Seahunter. The only carib that Doxa has made that I don't have is the Prototype Carib 300T Reissue. Only 1 of those made. The thing I like about the Seahunter Carib is the ORANGE SECOND-HAND. Very nice feature IMHO. There is 1 "RR" Carib out there that "Longhorn" on the Doxa Forum has that also has an orange second-hand. Lucky Guy. I was very lucky to get the Seahunter Carib when I did. Funny Thing is that there have been a couple pop up on Fleabay. Overpriced IMHO. I don't think they have sold. |

If I remember they wanted like $2600 for them, I could be mistaken though. I only want the Seahunters version and don't really want a "rr" version as I don't buy into the hype that it is worth any more. I don't really want to pay a reward for a quality control defect either. I'll keep looking and I am sure I will snag one someday. It took me close to a year to find the Sub 600 Divingstar at a decent price but it happened. Last edited on Fri Jul 27th, 2007 03:19 pm by Scuba Steve |

Actually, I thought the "RR" was a novelty at first. Bought one from Grand Cayman over the phone. Quite expensive. I think I have $2,600 in mine. Alot of money for a watch that just sits in a drawer. It will be quite interesting to see what happens to Doxa over the next couple years to see if this whole "Retail" thing pays off. If it does, I think I may be able to get my money back out of the "RR". I am not typically in the business of losing money in watches. My first higher-end watch was a Breitling Super Avenger. It was nice, but I couldn't justify having the one watch when I could sell it and buy 2 Doxas. I sold it on Ebay and lost $190. Not too bad. Since then I haven't sold any watches. I have way too many Doxas;) |

Seller said that one was worth more than the other due to where they fell with their serial #. I might pay $100 more for #1/250 but that would be the only one.:cool: |

Guess I missed those. I saw one or two about a month ago that were NIB and I think they wanted somewhere around $2500 for them. I get an email daily from eBay of all the Doxa watches available worldwide. I did go for a couple weeks where I just deleted them without reading as I didn't want to be tempted to buy one. Every watch I buy takes from my Jeep build fund. I still have about 3K of work to finish my Jeep CJ7 to where I want it. |

Way off topic here, but a pic?? I have a 1983 CJ7 that I hope to start on in the next several months. I know this sounds corny, but I want to fix it and put either 33s or 35s on it and paint it Doxa Orange. I had a 2001 Wrangler that would have matched my DS quite nicely, but I sold it after 2 kids........ |

Price them and you'll see why I used a different year decals. I to have thought about painting mine Doxa orange so no, it's not corny.         These pics are a bit old. I just ran out to take one as I put the winch back on a while back and haven't taken any updated pics.  Here is the 99 Wrangler I had I sold a while back.    The 79 CJ5 I built and sold to buy the CJ7    I have owned Jeeps since 1976 and have had over 20 of them. |
