Hey Stuart...you do have quite a dilema here!
I do not own either one yet...but here's to 2010 being the year that I add an Oris and a Doxa.;)
I have actually been looking at Doxa timepieces over the last couple weeks (I have been thinking about pulling the trigger on the 5000T with the current sale offered by Doxa).
Anyway, noticing that you are considering the 1000T and 1200T Doxa models in addition to the 800T, you obviously realize the 800 model has the tritium tubes which you may or may not like.
One thing that I was not aware of when initially comparing the 1000T and 1200T models to the 5000T and others was that the 1000T and 1200T are "smaller" than the 800Ti, 750T, & 5000T models ... a couple millimeters which may make a difference on your wrist depending on what you tend to like.
Just something to consider...
Stew,
Yes I looked at the size comparison, and it doesn't seem to be that much of a difference. I have a very good friend with a 1000T military sharkhunter, and it fits fine. When I first saw the 800Ti, I was really ready to pull the trigger on that one, but I just like the bracelets better on the other models. The 5000T does really sing to me, and my biggest concern with the 800Ti is if the tubes can be replaced down the line. The material & movement should be nearly bulletproof, but the tubes will slowly die out. With a $2900 price tag, don't know if I want to be saddled with that in the future (this is what steers me away from Ball watches too).
