    My Omega smp 300m, is happily living on an Isofrane black rubber strap, for the summer, and it's absolutely amazing,, (I've even got the black dlc buckle)..
    It'll be going back on to the bracelet, once the cooler weather arrives, and I'm back in long sleeved shirts /fleeces..
    I love Doxa watches,,, such a heritage,,,
    Thanks for showing us these ones...
    All the best Andrei,, keep up the good work.
    (Doxa are true "brave beaters",,,, )..

    The Synchron is really a cool watch I could wear during summer on the tropic strap...But still the Doxa in blue or yellow, is the Rockstar here.

    Being honest I haven’t come across Syncron. I have a sub300T also on the Isofrane strap and find it very comfortable. My sub300 is on a tropic strap as I felt this suited the style of the watch better. On the question of black coated watches I’d be a bit nervous of the coating chipping. The only exception I have made is a Sinn u50s where the surface is very hard.

    I prefer the Synchron Military but something about how Synchron sold the brand and only then released their version of the Doxa Army doesn't sit well with me...
    Luckily I'm still loving my black PVD Glycine Combat Sub so I don't need another blacked out diver - cool as the Synchron is.

      I just got a Doxa sub 300 today. I have very rounded 17cm (50mm across) diameter wrist. I'm very picky on how a watch wears. Case doesn't curve like reviews seem to indicate. Looking straight down my arm, lug to lug seems to work, but barely. It is very comfortable though and aquamarine dial is very nice. I'd say if your 15cm wrist is flat (50mm across or larger) it would work. But again, I'm picky and don't care for large watches.

    • @sweetd5953
      @sweetd5953 2 года назад +1

      Doxa sub 300 fits almost exactly like a Seiko SKX007, but appears a bit smaller due to thinner case and smaller dial.
