 What a surprise!  My Doxa is already here.  It supposed to be here sometime in August but I guess Doxa is really overtime pushing the watches out to customers.

Anyway, it is a beautiful watch.  I like the "tube" watch box the watch came with.


It took less than 5 mins to adjust the band, thanks to the screw driver came with the watch, and I'm already wearing it.  The look and feel of the watch is superb. 



Although the diameter of the watch is 42mm, because of the inside of the dial, the watch somehow looks smaller.   I think this illusion is due to the vintage design of the case. (I need to take picture of the angle)

Here's a comparison picture of Fortis B-42 and Omega Speedmaster. (I left my blackbird at home).



Here's another close up:


It is a keeper and I look forward to wearing it for a long time.
