Honestly, as I said in the past, I believe in some little known brands capable to achieve equal or better quality than some high brands using ETA movements.
I don't get only impressed by the popular status of a logo or a name. I get impressed by the quality delivered and performances. As I said also, I never owned a Doxa but the only time I holded one in my hand, it was a Shark-hunter PVD with a bezel turning totaly loose. The ratchet had gave up and the guy coudn't explain the reason. Also the watch seemed to be too light to me: At this time, I was used of my Certina DS3 who's a heavy diver.
Doxa certainly makes great divers: No doubt or they would not have achieve this reputation. But I believe personaly that some little brands, also containing ETA movements, can equal this quality at lower price.
Offcourse, those brands are not for people who want to show a popular name on them wrists...
