At one point on Tuesday night I had posted that I had spoken with John V. a week earlier about purchasing a Doxa 750T Pro as a returning customer.  John was helpful and quoted me a discounted price with the understanding that I would make my purchase within a week or two.  My posts were the focus of several rude responses one of which was from a forum member who accused me of lying about my interest in purchasing a Doxa.  I responded by stating that I didn't care if I was believed and that the poster's arrogance only complimented his ignorance.  Within a few minutes I received a ban notice without any accompanying explanation.  The post within which I was accused of lying was strangely allowed to remain as was.

One might be tempted to conclude that I dislike Doxa watches.  That is simply not true.  I still own two Doxas and I count them among my most treasured watches.  Indeed, I believe that Doxa watches are excellent dive watches deserving of the respect of the horologic community.

My issue is with the manner in which Doxa views its customers and potential customers in relation to questions and comments about customer service and warranty issues.  Heavy handed and unprofessional moderating of important debate has now resulted in many questioning the sincerity of Doxa and its representatives, and I suspect many rethinking their interest in purchasing a Doxa.

I am fortunate to have found this and several other forums which support open civil debate without a thought about economic advantage.

Thank you.


A read virtually every post, and cannot believe that you two were banned.  In pm conversation with a mod over there, he can't believe it either.

But, their loss is our gain....which I, for one, am very grateful!

Late last year I accused Earnie of running a cleverly disguised sales site (in the middle of a heated topic about something else) which he promptly denied but when I asked him how long I would be allowed to complain about my broke doxa before I got banned he didn't reply.


doxa's "no posting unless youv'e got a little brown on your nose" policy isn't a new issue this time was just a bit more public for some reason.
I've never had an interest in the brand or the forum for it so I've managed to not get banned..........yet.  ;)

anyway I'm sorry you guys got banned! Think of it this way, it's one less website to enable you to buy watches!

Likewise.

By the way, hello to all. Just discovered this place. If any good has come out of the WUS/Doxa débâcle, it's that several other forums have grown their membership as a result.
