Thanks O! Got it! It is the black Sharkie all the way for me... I haven't ordered yet, but will do so before December - my fingers are crossed that the AUD recovers a bit and lessens my pain.

Cheers all!

It seems to me that Doxa is in the recycle mode again which they have done several times in the past.

Doxa can recycle all they want cause' there will always be a WIS who will find something different in each timepiece that drives them to own 1 and in this case the use of Ti and tubes is just that reason perfect.gif

That is an interesting combo from Doxa. There is talk on the Doxa forum of a new "Mil-Spec" which is undergoing a slow release (you know... details will be provided, then the wait, then the detail, then the dicsussion, then another detail - it is painful, but go to WUS if you want to be stretched) and that will apparently have tubes as well.

Ian this is the same watch, Doxa just decided to speed up the reveal because everyone was grumbling how long it was taking.

I haven't decided on the 800Ti yet. Unlike a lot of you guys that love the tube illumination, I have never really warmed up to it. I've had several watches in the past with tubes and ended up sellng them all. Plus, like someone else said, this is an evolution of the 750T. IMO it is not quite different enough for me to pull the trigger. I already have a 750T Pro, 750T Sharkhunter, 5000T Sharkhunter and 600T-Graph Sharkhunter which have very similar elements, I do love the use of titanium, very cool. I think if I didn't have the other Doxas already in the collection I would be pulling the trigger on this one.

Can't wait to start to see people's pics as they arrive.

I like the use of titanium, but something looks funny about the lume on the dial. Maybe it will just take a little while to get used to. A+ for the use of titanium though.

Bazza...this Doxa uses gas tubes/vials for lume like Ball,Luminox etc...unless you feel the use of tubes makes the dial/lume look funny ;)

Thanks DEMO - it took me a while to figure that out :?. All the talk about Mil-spec got me going... that and the fact that a few minutes earlier there was discussion over "there" by the company themselves that somehow this drawn-out reveal process was "fun" and they intended to carry on with it- I wongly assumed that they were not the same watch. I have no other DOXA in my collection, but for me - the 800Ti sharkie with its combo of treated Ti, the black face and the tubes is all it took. If I had other Doxas, I believe it would be much harder to justify, and in deferrence to WCB's comments - there is a certain sameness between clearly "evolutionary" models. This one just grabs me, though. Different enough, and priced well enough (in USD:( ), to pull the trigger when I have not done so in the past. I guess it is the same as buying an LE sometimes - it is the subtle differences that get ya going.

In my collection it will stand out like dogs whatsits. But I can see your point about it being too similar ot he 750 "look" to warrant some Doxa collectors with very similar pieces getting this one too.

Thanks for the heads up - always appreciated.
