Thread: quality brands that no longer exist

  1. #31
    Sadly, I have a addiction to simple handwind movements and an abiding love of the thirty series Omega and the 27CS Smiths movements in many of their guises. which keeps alot of m favorites small. In fact, when I'm not thinking about it, my comfort rotation is between this:


    and this

    Not so much watches as slippers.

    I really like my Olma. Beautiful pie pan dial and stainless case. Cost a whole $55.

    The subject of this thread makes me think Doxa worthy of keeping note of?

    Doxa was one of the members of the consortium that produced the auto winder for the AS1687 ebauche, along with the aforementioned Zodiac, Girard-Perregaux, and Favre-Leuba (Eberhard was the fifth member). But I have never seen it. Vintage Doxa non-divers seem to be scarce as hen's teeth.

    More than 500 characters worth of watches.

    I wouldn't say the non-divers are rare. There are always plenty on eBay. From what I have seen Doxas tend to be bigger diameter then other brands but lots of them are chrome plated and not stainless steel.
