Allow me to thow in this wierd thought regarding the Doxa. The Doxa has the "Ne Decompression Limits" for compressed air diving cut into the bezel. A great idea I always thought. However, in this era of mixed gas diving, these limits are likely no longer accurate. Anal guy that I am,that would drive me nuts.

I actually had a bad experience with Zinex. Received a watch with dust on the lume which I think is unforgivable at the $1500.00 price mark. There was also a small scratch/chunk out of the side of the watch. They would not answer my questions directly when I inquired what made their 2824's "high quality". I know others believe, on other forums, they were not necessarily forward in regards to answering where their cases were made. When I asked to for a return I felt that I received an attitude in return. However I did receive money back fast. I agree their lume is amazine and I love the designs but I am not impressed with their service.

But I've been reading many comments about what you say: The fuzzy no-man's land origin of elements in Zinex. Seriously, this is deceiving from them. They seems to try desperatly to achieve a high status by hiding the fact that they rely on components fabricated in Asia... I get so irritated by those brands who practice unjustified high prices just to get a status in the watch world... Status is builded by constant thrue quality and feedbacks from the clients: Not high prices and undeserved profits mad.gif

Trent yours is a beauty and definitely helped!! Thank you all. I've decided that as nice as the Zinex is, the Doxa is one of those watches I keep going back to so I'll save a little more and get one... Probably gently used though that Special edition DWL on Doxa's site is tempting. There are three watches I really want and find myself going back to all the time, Zinex is not one of them. Doxa diver is along with an Omega and Breitling. The Doxa's look is just amazing and different from other divers out there, certainly would stand out in my collection. Thank you very much for your feedback guys! Brice

I'm no As and and I admit I most likely won't be doing any serious diving soon so not an issue. Thanks tho. Brice.

I can understand your agony regarding dust in watch.. glad it was resolved. Trimix is my first boutique watch. I bought this for less than $1000 w rubber strap. Watch is big, thick, heavy, bright, domed sapp, nice engraved back case, n colorful on the dial. The ploprof hands are nice too. I did not purchase other new Zinex as i find most of dial styling is almost similar n most important Trimix filled me up. I read some good info here regarding Asia ETA movement n casing ..etc. I guess some company would not want to reveal much n some forum delete such post. I continue with purchase of BLUERING, ARTEGO n Sea Viper. Guess i will be happy with them as well, less costly too..   dannyh wrote: I actually had a bad experience with Zinex.

I second your call on the Bluering. Waiting impatiently for mine to arrive! I don't necessarily have a problem with Asian encased ETA's. Only I did not appreciate Zinex's evading my questions in regards to them. Other than that I really do like their designs. And their watches are torches! Danny

It basically said, if you say a bad thing about Doxa, your post will be deleted. Its a Doxa forum, so if you dont like it, you can,,,,,,,,off. There was a lot of posts about it in the last few weeks, on WUS, and a couple of other forums too. Its gone! Heard good thing, and plenty of bad too. Never had one myself, but to put them up there with Omega and CO, well i am not so sure about that.but what do i know i don't even own a watch but i am going to produce one i think and some noob will buy it lol

Doxa IS up there with Omega... In MY opinion of their looks and how they appeal to me in general... Just my taste. I am not saying it is as good a watch as the Omega, I don't know, but it I'd up there with the Omega in my Wanted list:) . Gotta buy what you really like and find yourself going back to if you're gonna spend that much $ (lots to me) on a watch or you end up flipping it and it becomes an even more expensive one. Thanks. Brice.

I would say the Doxa watches compare most favorably to the Omegas and Breitlings of the same ilk. I guess the co-axial Omegas might have an edge movement-wise but build quality appears equivalent with the watches I own. As for the Doxa forum... well I said something there they didn't like and it was zapped but its really their vendor forum. That was 2006 and I'm guessing this hasn't changed.
