I told one fellow youtuber of yours that the underdog melon was crap (to paraphrase)--he did not agree much... If you have watch money to spend for a single season or you are the type of person who can pull of Hawaii/Bowling shirts for one consecutive decade, they are great. If you aren't, they aren't. They are a statement piece, don't bespeak class or give away a conaisseur, and they are loud. If they fit under your shirt, please, keep them there. If you like independent watch makers--I really like Lorier. Still expensive for what they are, but made very well and with abundant knowledge of the history of iconic watches. PS.: The idea that nobody cares if you wear a Rolex is definitely true, and I love it for just that. I appreciate the case, the movement, the bracelet. And nobody cares. It's like having a display caseback--nobody cares except yourself.

Really tired of hearing about the Rolex Pepsi.

No special forces guy would wear a seriously expensive watch.

Shark hunter goes hard. I wish they’d do black dial with the aquamarine highlights

他們名人代言有多少錢賺鍾標行有賺多少！

I know this is an older video but I wonder how you feel about the colour of the mk2 starbucks

Such a beautiful watch, wear it in good health!

I actually prefer the Roman numerals over hour markers or diamonds. Day date watches are just breath taking. Where ever you go people respect you when they see you wearing one.

hello, since you've had it for some time, can i ask what is the reliability of the ap 3120 movement? has it stopped working?

Black and gold is classic timeless and never go out of style

Why does EVERY Rolex video have to devote time to the Rolex Pepsi? I watched this video hoping to hear more about the BLNR.

It’s not 10X over retail. It sell for 17 to 20 usd.

Would love some new content from you guys. It's been WAYY too long. I always enjoy your watch info!!!

Thank you for diving into the depths of the current doxa operations. Its precisely that kind of information that is important to watch enthusiasts like myself. Not that it takes away from my appreciation for this brand, but it does change the story and history of the brand. This now makes me also want to buy a vintage doxa, just to come full circle :D

is it possible to get the original box and japanese wrapping that came with it? I'm buying after market but it is missing those two items

Doxa design is special and classic. Just sad a lot of copies have come out with very identical looks. Also wondering why they haven't sued these brands and thar there is no copyright for the designs.

Hey Damian, long time no see… 👋🏻 Missing your videos! 😅

Really disappointed to hear of the vague production of these watches. I was watching this video as I was doing my research in the hope of purchasing one, but now I will probably steer clear. Shame as I really like them

It’s amazing to see someone so passionate and articulate about watches makes for a great video!

Awesome!!!

I own the previous model Platinum dial Rolex with the red second-hand. My idea at the time was to replace my first Rolex, a 90's model black Submariner date, which, I did eventually sell because I noted that every man seems to buy one of these as his first Rolex. The Platinum version is rather blingy and dressy. Of course, the slate dial and the blue dial versions were not on the market at the time I bought mine. The watch is like having a Daytona case, which lays flat, but with the movement of a Submariner.

I want one but I'm poor and can't so plastic here I come 😭

Lovely collection. I only have the Shunbun but am grateful for it.

too bad it's BLOODY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ONE

Literally cost $60 to manufacture in China.

All the watches are painted by hand ?

Older was better - 'sunburst' blue dial and _anodized_ blue bezel - never liked those ceramic/cerachrom dials and bezels

They're good because you can see the day and the date! blue sunburst dial 36mm white

When he explained 4000t with less depth and the 1500t , I laughed so hard 😂

Tony Soprano wore a 36mm. I think it works on any wrist. Its less of a watch, more of a gold bracelet.

This really isn’t surprising or all that different from the majority of major brands operating today. With the exception of maybe Rolex and a few other independent brands, every brand has exchanged hands so many times it could be argued they are all “exploiting” a historical name with no real ties to that original product. What matters to me is the end result, how the watch feels and runs long term. While I could criticize doxa for quite a few things at their price point, I don’t think they offer any worse value than their competitors. You would probably be saddened to know brands like Omega, Breitling, Tag Heuer etc all outsource production of various components to China. It’s just the manufacturing game in this century. And considering how parts like cases, dials, hands, movements, and bracelets were shared amongst brands during the “golden era” of watchmaking, it’s really nothing new either.

Lovely collection, let me put that out there first. However, your 9F quartz watches are certainly not "self winding". :)

As it turns out, the Orange being legible under water turns out to be nonsense. Everything turns grey, it's the lume you need. There is a lot to unpack here. First of all, pretty much anyone that produces anything has outsourced some part of the production process to China. Second of all, Switzerland is one of the most industrialised countries on the planet. In fact, the Swiss watch industry once started because they were producing cheap knock-offs of English and French watches, and after Waltham invented factory-based watch production, the Swiss went there with abandon. If you look at a Rolex or an Omega, the amount of hands that do anything is disappointing at best. Lastly, whether it's Omega that became a part of the Swatch group or IWC, Cartier, TAG Heuer, A. Lange & Söhne, and every reputable brand in the business being owned by a luxury conglomerate or investment group (Richemont, LVMH, Partner Group AG), or if we are talking about resuccitated brands bought up long after the original went bankrupt.... Doxa isn't doing anything the entire industry is rife with. You want to put it like that, the only "honest" brands among the well-known bigger houses are Seiko, Patek, Rolex, Citizen and Audemars Piguet.

And that is why i had no guilty conscience, when i bought my Seestern 300T and 600T hommages. :-)

My grail. DD40. Yellow gold. Perhaps Everose. Rose gold

Definitely feel like I won the lottery when I secured an order for the 2024 Anniversary Reiwa! Have to start planning an unboxing video.

I just ordered the new Reina 2024 today!

Im a sucker for dive watches, and like the Doxa watches, unfortunately for me the moments are not up to a lot of other brands, low power reserve for one around 38 hours some going up slightly to 50 hours, base eta movements with no mention of antimagnetic qualities hairspring ect, I can buy a cheaper Tissot or Certina with a 80 hour power reserve with a antimagnetic hairspring. My Seastar 2000 runs at 0.7SPD that's incredible for a watch od £960. Plenty of dive watches that you don't have spend a lot of cash on, that deliver. Don't get me wrong I love the look of Doxa and they make some nice watches, but let down by the power reserve and no antimagnetic movements.

@TheWatchGuysTV Will u buy the one that is coming this Thursday?? What u think about it? Thanks.

This video made me feel bad for my only Kurono watch, the Calendrier Type 1 (16:18 & 20:06). Actually I'm not a fan of this watch because of it's difficulty reading the time. Unless you're outside in the sun, you'll barely see the hands. It feels just like a jewelry instead of a watch. BTW Kurono Tokyo should pay you for this video, if they haven't yet.

*Kindly out of due respect, it's 'A-sa-o-ka'. not Osaka. I know in English we tend to gravitate towards what's phonetically easy or quick, but hearing Osaka is like hearing McWillen instead of McMillain. I know Japanese is hard and there are 3 writing systems, but the characters on the dial are Kana, short for Katakana, primarily used for either capitalized pronunciations or foreign word pronunciations. Kana is the most basic and easiest for westerners to pick up and learn, hence why Asaoka chose it. Furthermore, it has a cleaner and minimalistic aesthetic. If he chose Kanji or Hiragana, the dial would seem too convoluted. Take this in a helpful sense, I mean no offense. Furthermore I respect your Kurono collection. Cheers.*

Literally every single swiss made watch is 40% chinese...are you new?

I’m debating the onyx or the olive dial I have not made my mind up yet because I’m debating for future investment reasons what do you guys think for the better investment

Great video. Just one thing; you may want to check that 10,000 years bit.

I’ve always said, when you’re done playing with Tin-can sports Rolex, and when you grow up and become a real man, all roads lead back to the Rolex Day-Date! Aka Mr Valjoux

ive read many forums about doxa being "swiss-ese" and from what i found is they make there cases and movements are switzerland made but the bracelet and glass is made in hong kong not sure about the dial but doxa has said all there modals cases are machined in switzerland that being said many swiss watch brands take advantage of the 60 percent law even tudor makes there bracelet's in china same said with omega the only fully made swiss watches are for watches above 10k like the likes of rolex and patek and so on i think a lot of people dont know most of these "swiss made watches" that are under 10k have parts made from overseas

Just got it at Bangkok Airport Omega Boutique for USD8k. Good deal. Gorgeous. Cant stop looking at it. :)
