DOXA SUB 800Ti - Lost a lot of its lustre
If some of you dig back you will find the rave review I posted of this acquisition last August from its arrival in July
It was Orange dialled, Titanium and had precious Tritium in its innards.
It was one of my all-time must have watches and the brands reputation was hove reproach.
Owning the ting has been a different story, however.
A couple of months after receiving it , I pulled the crown out to adjust the time - it's one of 50 odd , so it doesn't get worm a lot - and the whole crown came out in my hand!
I was horrified!
I contacted DOXA and asked where in Australia I could take it for warranty service. The initial response was that this was user error and that any local watch place could fix it.
I got rather annoyed by this. and pointed out again that the watch was very new and was one of a large collection and that no other ETA powered watch from other manufacturers in my collection had ever had such a problem and I was very disappointed that they would not cover the warranty on this.
I was told in this instance they would fix it and was told I had to send it back to Switzerland.
It was gone for two months.
When it returned, I had it for a few days and the the hour hand started to shed some sort of layer under the hand.

With the lilt of Irish laughter
Every day and in every way
Now forever and ever after."
