I will agree as far as how Doxa compares to other brands in the like...they make a fine watch. I give Doxa kudos for stating that they produce their watches within the Swiss Fed guidelines....I would never bash a company for being upfront and truthful and more companies should follow suit......there are only a handful of watch brands that can claim 100% Swiss Made anymore and you will pay for that accomplishment....every WIS on this forum is aware of it!  .....as far as how Doxa runs their forum ...it's their forum and it runs seperate of WUS....as a matter of fact when WUS crashed in 05' and lost all their data except for the previous half year or so and lost some 4 years worth of info it was Doxa that gave them a server...so Doxa is gonna do what they like in regards to how "their" forum is run.hand6.gif I personally agree that an "official brand forum" should be for the loyal fans to share and discuss their collections and pics and not a place for someone to air their dislikes or headaches.....50% of those complaining are doing so in regards to a watch they bought pre-owned with who knows how many previous owners or have never owned one!.... warranty issues should be discussed in private with the company rep imho....you'l get a more agreeable amount of CS that way in the long run....but you will always have those who just want to stir the pot and refuse to see things in the light of what they really are....so in many ways the Doxa forum was just in what they had to say in regards to this issue afaiac.

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...

I have to tell you , I only have had the Nitrox in my hands but from what time I spent with Joe's first watch he was on the right track, well made and it looks like he has gotten it even better. I own Doxa's and they are different, but then they are a specific style all the same style cushion case, whereas Zixen is not. I think both are very good watches, one has been around for sometime, the other very well may be. Regards Robt Last edited on Sat May 1st, 2010 02:35 pm by nsg1tausend |

Has anyone else thought that Zinex sounds like a brand of medicine they often advertise on TV?Drool_27.gif Sorry, no offense to the fans of the watch.

I agree on that even I don't watch American TV chanels... I personnaly don't specialy like the name. It's not easy to find and depose a name who don't exist at all and who isn't too close to another one. Anyway, they are called Zixen now. They certainly had troubles with other "Zinex" named: Like Zinex corporation who's established since 89coyote2.gif

They of course have way too much money and too many resources and a small brand like Zixen could not afford to go to court against them (even if it probably would have turned out in their favor). It is sort of a similar story to what Omega did to Eddie and his "Broadarrow" brand

I once owned a zinex nitrox abyss , it was a great watch with a great solid case but for me the bezel let it down as somehow it felt cheap when turned. On a diver i like the bezel to be a nice tight click , i have an enzo emv which has the best bezel movement of any diver i have ever owned , i think anyone who has owned an emv would agree.
