Doxa Shark Ceramica XL Limited Edition Watch
One of the best things about Doxa watches is that they don't change. There is a whole collection of "SUB something" watches that have designs from what feels like the 1960s or 1970s - that remain largely unchanged today. Ever since Clive Cussler learned about the brand at a dive store he worked in and immortalized it in his writing, Doxa timepieces have been a bit more than just diving instruments.There have been attempts to modernize the look of the brand as well as of the core dive watch collection. I think it is almost amusing when people discuss Doxa's non-dive pieces (which aren't half bad). Though for most people who are familiar with Doxa, they will always be the orange-dialed (or black) dive watch brand. A new collection called the Doxa Shark Ceramica XL is offered as a limited edition and attempts to offer a fresh look to the classic marquee. They are actually revisions on what I believe was an Asia-only collection from a few years ago called the Doxa Shark Ceramica. Those mod

Anyone own an X-33?
Am suddenly interested in the x-33 after seeing an imax film of the international space station. Seemed to be on most of the astronauts wrists! Anyone able to share ownership experiences? ...and pics of course!

My choice...
(All, new to this forum and thought I'd share my Omega story for my first post here.)1995 witnessed the launch of that now famous catch phrase that was splashed most prominently across Omega's ads. For many, this may have had an influence in their purchase of an Omega and something they proudly proclaim after finally obtaining one. However, back in December of 2000, one man recalls reading that phrase with disdain as he's shopping with his wife for a matching watch set. Cindy Crawford's choice the man read the ad aloud sarcastically. Omega and Rolex... b8ah!, they'll NEVER be MY choice! uttered the budding WIS who thought he knew everything there was to being a sophisticated watch collector as he took comfort in his ability to recite the names of hallowed manufacturers that produced watches more complicated and higher in cost than either of the two aforementioned brands. What was it that so bothered this man so about these two brands? Two main factors came to mind he thought at t

Need help, sell gold GMT Master II for PP Aquanaut Time Travel 5164a?
Hello,I have a very lovely Rolex GMT-Master II in gold and at the time of purchase it was my grail. It's an amazing watch and the feeling of gold on your wrist is indescribable. However, I only wear it when I have long sleeves on (8 months out of the year). I am uncomfortable wearing it with shorts sleeves here in NYC. My other watch is the SS Daytona Ceramic black dial. I never really considered the move to PP mainly b/c the ones I wanted were too expensive. I always admired the Time Travel from afar when I'd see it online, but never even considered buying. Then today out of no where I got the bug and am not sure what to do. Note, I've also never seen the watch in person, let alone tried one on. Given I live in NYC, I plan on going to the Diamond District to see if I like it on my wrist.While both watches are GMT's, they are completely different in wearability and in my opinion world's apart. The main thing my GMT has going for it is that it's gold and looks amazing (many consider it

Got the rubber
Got a call from ben bridge timeworks in ala moana yesterday and went in to get my strap installed and sized. Was nice to be able to open the packaging myself...I see why some of you guys on here love to do that. Took about 40 mins to install and size the strap but im pretty happy with the result...it really makes the piece look more casual and sporty than the bracelet. Girlfriend says she likes the bracelet better...but eh, this will allow me to wear the watch more, and that's what its for right? Ill swap to the bracelet on certain occasions though. A couple little things...The watchmaker at ben bridge scratched the back of 3 of the lugs during this process...so my baby isn't flawless anymore. Eh, it wasn't going to be perfect forever. I wore it yesterday for a few hours and was outside for a majority of the time...in the heat I developed a rash on my wrist under the new strap. I put some corticosteroids on the rash and washed the strap with soap and water...I hope this will help...im
