I like the case color and would love a time only one with some type of blue dial and blue strap, but I am not a fran of perpetuals/worldtimer/3 or more registers etc. so that is a turn off for me. Also the celebrity collab just for the sake of a celebrity collab doesn’t do anything for me along with the limited edition so that only the cool (very rich) kids get one is a turn off. So I guess I just spent a lot of words to say I only like the case

Doxa is attempting an update of its iconic 300T with a slimmer case and ceramic dial and bezel. Probably not for me, but maybe I'll be surprised when I see one in the metal.

I got married yesterday with my BB58. I have my now wife’s initials engraved on the back and she also bought me this strap so it’ll be a nice story to tell my kids when I hand it down.

Still better than a tattoo (if you divorce one day 😅)

Congrats but for the purposes of this thread this would have been a significantly more intriguing post if you stopped here.

Yes, I got the email about that. Maybe I'll trade in my classic duoface for the new Reverso chronograph.

I'm definitely not their target audience since they have collaborated with someone I never heard of before.

That being said, I like the case color, but I want a bracelet on a RO, not a strap. In addition, I don't want the font to look like my niece hand wrote in the numerals when she was in 4th grade.

Yes, the Royal Oak, and any other watch originally designed with an integrated bracelet, looks odd on a strap. Frankly, I don't like anything of that watch.

You meant the creative genius as Travis?

Agreed, I've never been a fan of the RO or Nautilus on a strap. To me, they look incomplete without the integrated bracelet. Perhaps the Overseas is able to get away with it much better as it is a far newer design.
