Hello, everyone! It's been awhile since I "spoiled" myself with a new watch, so I think it's time now. Really like the look of Doxa 1000T/5000T Sharkhunter, but also wondering about Omega's 300M Seamaster and their co-axial escapement. Price-wise, they're about the same, so any input or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. P.S. What happened to Enzo?

I think you would be happy with either. But myself I like the design of the Doxa better. I have the Divingstar 1000 and love it. As for Enzo they are still out there but have allot of competition now days. I sold mine off last Spring.

I'm with Skip, if I was given the choice I would go with the Doxa over the Omega

Big fan of both. You simply cannot go wrong with either. I agree on the more unique design of the Doxa. I've owned four Doxa Subs and one Seamaster... but I only have the Seamaster now. Not quite sure why that is, to be honest.

I love my omega, but i'm gonna sell it to get a breitling superocean. However, I will be getting another omega. Love the watch. Can't stand Doxa. I think the case is just terrible.

I am certain you would be happy with the build quality on either offering. The Omega is more versatile imho while the Doxa is more phunky. Having said that if I were going with a Doxa I would opt for a Pro, Divingstar or Caribbean to combine a nice colored dial with a sweet case imho, rather than a Sharkie. Doxa!yourock.gif

I actually like the Doxa case design: at this point, really contemplating the 1000T COSC Sharkhunter or Caribbean. I like the split writing on the dial and the old-fashioned diving helmet detail. Are Omega's movement mods worth picking it over a mostly unmodified Doxa 2824-2 or 2892? I hear the Omegas are really smooth.

The Omega co-axial movements are like butter. You can get an older model which has the modified 2892 which is slick too.:dude:
