I understand the arguments some of those who purchased the 50th reissue made. However, I feel this is an inherent risk of the hobby. I could've bought a 60th speedy reissue and then Omega comes out with an Ed White remake the next year. I feel you just have to make a decision on what you're comfortable missing out on.
Yeah. As soon as hodinkee featured it I knew you were going to see a bump. However I'm on the site and it looks like you can still add a pre-ordered to your cart. Better get in on it before they all go.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a spill over effect to the remaining 50th reissues. I understand the arguments some of those who purchased the 50th reissue made.

Man. If Doxa puts out a white lung and a searmabler variant I'm going to be out a lot of money . . .
Thanks for the heads up. I dithered over the weekend and thought I missed out. Just got my order in [emoji3]
these things for your addictions. 😉
Is the case the same size as an original no T case?
Dr. Pete said:The case shape and dimensions are almost the same as they were in 1967. The vintage model measuring 45mm in length, 45mm wide including the crown, 20mm lug width and 10mm high from caseback to top of bezel. The domed perspex crystal took the height to 12mm. It had a 60 click bezel and a caseback with the DOXA logo on it.
The modern version is the same length and width. Due to a deeper caseback the height to bezel is now 11mm and because of the sapphire domed crystal the overall height is now 14mm. The bezel is now 120 click and has the Imperial Dive Table numbers as opposed to the modern Metric units but the caseback has retained the original DOXA ship rather than the modern Jenny logo.
