Well, I know we have a number of Doxa fans here at 3T...many of you I'm sure have already seen this reveal, but just in case you missed it Doxa has revealed the new Doxa 10th Anniversary Sub 4000T.

My initial reaction: I like it alot!!!thumbsup.gif....Was not sure what I initially thought about the Power Reserve meter labeled 'Safe Dive' as it seems somewhat gimmicky, but the fact that this is using a Top Grade ETA-2897 made me forget about that.  It looks like a Doxa, but as you look at the case detailing, some of the subtle design details/changes from classic Doxa's of old seen from different angles really come to life (and this is probably what I like most about the 4000T!!!Thumbsup3.gif).  I really love the old Doxa case, but also really like the new one!  Doxa is saying that the dial diameter is larger relative to the case diameter when compared to the classic Doxa lineup.  I really like the classic Doxa BOR bracelet on the current and older Doxa pieces, and this one is using a different style that doesn't scream vintage Doxa, but it is growing on me.  This one will also be offered with two bezel choices, the more classic Doxa bezel you see here, or a Sapphire Bezel (which I've not yet seen), which should really change up the looks.  Would I prefer to have drilled lugs?...probably...but overall, I very much like what I see.bravo.gif  I'm very tempted by this one...very tempted...

What do you guys think???
