    My Omega smp 300m, is happily living on an Isofrane black rubber strap, for the summer, and it's absolutely amazing,, (I've even got the black dlc buckle)..
    It'll be going back on to the bracelet, once the cooler weather arrives, and I'm back in long sleeved shirts /fleeces..
    I love Doxa watches,,, such a heritage,,,
    Thanks for showing us these ones...
    All the best Andrei,, keep up the good work.
    (Doxa are true "brave beaters",,,, )..

    Just picked up an Aquamarine 300T 2 weeks ago and really love it. Fabulous build quality, wears really well and perfect micro-adjustment on the BoR bracelet. I do wish that Synchron will release some more models or stock as they were a very limited run before.

    • @BraveBeaters

    Being honest I haven’t come across Syncron. I have a sub300T also on the Isofrane strap and find it very comfortable. My sub300 is on a tropic strap as I felt this suited the style of the watch better. On the question of black coated watches I’d be a bit nervous of the coating chipping. The only exception I have made is a Sinn u50s where the surface is very hard.

    I prefer the Synchron Military but something about how Synchron sold the brand and only then released their version of the Doxa Army doesn't sit well with me...
    Luckily I'm still loving my black PVD Glycine Combat Sub so I don't need another blacked out diver - cool as the Synchron is.
    Very interesting side by side review - love the blue Sub 300T btw! ✌︎︎

      I just got a Doxa sub 300 today. I have very rounded 17cm (50mm across) diameter wrist. I'm very picky on how a watch wears. Case doesn't curve like reviews seem to indicate. Looking straight down my arm, lug to lug seems to work, but barely. It is very comfortable though and aquamarine dial is very nice. I'd say if your 15cm wrist is flat (50mm across or larger) it would work. But again, I'm picky and don't care for large watches.

    • @sweetd5953
      @sweetd5953 3 роки тому +1

      Doxa sub 300 fits almost exactly like a Seiko SKX007, but appears a bit smaller due to thinner case and smaller dial.

      @@anamisidro8453 You're very welcome. Glad I could be of help, if I was. After a day of wear I'd say the unusual case fits rather large, sadly. It will join my other divers that barely fit. Might have to give up on finding perfect fitting diver that I also like.
