It's funny that xhenke on WUS predicted this watch back in October 2017. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f34/po...vorite-4549519-post44286029.html#post44286029

Re: POLL: If DOXA decided to produce a new Divingstar, which would be your favorite?
Most of all I want a 1200T Divingstar Posedion Limited Edition, it would be awesome because:

- We really need a new Divingstar, like desperately
- Poseidon Diving Systems celebrates their 60th anniversary 2018 so it's great timing
- Poseidon has the coolest logotype in the game and it would look fantastic printed on a Divingstar dial
- It would not be a true reissue of the 300T Divingstar Poseidon so Doxa does not have to manufacture a new case etc., just make a dial and put it in the 1200T
- Poseidon's logotype has the same shape and color as the Aqualung (blacklung) which means Doxa probably already has everything set up to print it
- The 1200T MKII is a very good modern diving-watch and a great match to the high end diving gear Poseidon makes
- While not being a reissue, it would still be a great tribute to their latest collaboration together 50 years ago
- The Divingstar dial can be re-used without logo and put in the regular 1200T line-up

Just ordered mine - order number 6951.... Now I have to explain it to the wife, but at least I have a few months. Given the bright yellow dial, I don't think this is one I can sneak past her....

Hi guys

Just found my pics of my vintage Doxa I sold May years ago!

Nice! I considered vintage - a full box set 600T popped up on eBay for £4K...so i decided to go modern...

I am wondering why this edition is selling relatively slowly. Are 500 watches to many? Or have Doxa’s continuously flowing re and limited edition finally saturated the market?

Maybe their marketing department isn't as good at the LE promotion as Omega's and Rolex's. 😜

Hi

I think Doxa made the mistake of launching this at Baselworld.... No need to launch a limited edition of 500 pieces now when your competing for "Air Time" with all the other houses!!

For me it worked out as others were distracted ...... and I am a "johnny come lately .." and i got one...


I think if this was launched Feb 1st.... it would have been a different story in how quickly it will sell out....

Just my opinion.

Best

Bill

What the others have said PLUS it’s bright yellow... takes a special kind of brave to wear it 😉

Do like! Don't have the money🙁

Shame as they're still available to order as of now, but the missus would kill me and I don't think she'd even be a fan to be able to gradually win her around.

Will look forward to seeing pics from you lot when you get them. Do they wear well on a slim wrist? Have never tried a DOXA(well, I did used to own one but it was one of those transitional one's from the 90's I think and was more of a pilot watch design so not really a proper DOXA).

Aww man. I've been considering a Doxa for a while now, and I'm not afraid of bright colors. If I had the money, I'd order one in a heartbeat.

You can make the $500 deposit and then you have a few months to sell a few things (kickstarter) to help raise some funds for the rest of the cost when it ships.
