Cool, I saw you post that and I thought I'd never seen you show that one before. I know you don't need any assurance but I got to say it again. If you like it thats all that matters. With that in mind, if you like it after you've read about it, checked it out and had it a while all the better. I'm curious about the brand myself-would like to hear what you think after some time has passed. Congrats.

Thanks Mark - That is precisely the plan.
I've been curious for a long time myself.
But too pricey to risk - this price was right.

Nice one Jeffrey! I 3 have been curious about this brand. In time, I would love to hear your second impression of the watch. Love the whole design from DOXA. Sharkhunters are my favorite.

Awesome watch. The 5000T is my favorite Doxa model. Love the applied markers and the sweet clasp on the bracelet.

Cool watch Jaw...

Don't worry what ANYONE says, if you like it, that's all that matters!

Not to start a diatribe, but we all know if you read enough forums, EVERY WATCH BRAND has critics!

I really like that blue dial over the orange one you typically see...

ENJOY!

Dubious and aka "Doxvicta" to some, with some questionable claims of Swiss origin leading to China. Watchgeek information control tactics on forums where they are sponsors (WUS) - deleting negative threads, etc. Swiss address but no factory. Sound familiar?

Great watch.... I always thought DOXA was highgrade, I love the case on these anyway, looks-wise one of my favorite brands I don't own yet. Congrats on a great deal!!

Thanks. I thought so too. But in the grand scheme...who the hell really knows anymore. That's why I bought one to judge for myself.

Yowza Jaw !!!! Shocked cheers ..Congratulations on adding this DEVASTATING Doxa to your collection !
This is one of those watches, or (Timepieces) 1st 2011 Watch - Doxa 5000T Sharkhunter 803574 that automatically has "Legend" status if you
ask me sir. It's got the history, patented looks, quality, and just all around SUPER smooth, AND
cool theme. It's one of those watches, and brands that I think many many brands have borrowed
themes from to add to their own watches. Whether it's those CRAZY GOOD markers, EXCELLENT
looking hands, case shape or bracelet. You have seen hints of Doxa"s watches like this Sub 5000T Sharkhunter within other watches out there for a long tome now. Now to have one of the originators,
or "the" originator of such a look, must genuinely be VERY enjoyable !!! ..It's actually hard trying to
pick a place to start first with this one TOO. Each, and every part of your Doxa here has a distinct
feel about it, and it's pretty TERRIFIC trying to find a "best" place to begin. To tell the truth, it
seems like each aspect about this one is equally as cool, which is you guessed it, pretty cool ! Cool
Guess we'll just start with the dial here with your new watch. Again it comes back around to those
markers. They have that "legendary" style to them, which Doxa has evidently used for some time
now. The wide square-like shape is just EPIC in my opinion. It's extremely aggressive, and lets you
know that THIS is a watch that sets itself apart, whether deep under water, or on dry land. Also it
has such a ground breaking look, that we again have seen other watch brands use similar looks with
their markers. Guess that is saying something about the original, when others like it enough to follow
in the same footsteps. It's really pretty OUTSTANDING again to have an original though in this
case ! Another NICE part about these markers is how the lume section of the marker is neatly
sandwiched right in the middle of the steel part of the blocks. In addition the differing sizes of
them is neat too. Especially seeing those larger ones at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. THEY
are extra AWESOME imho !!! Even enjoying how the markers rise up in that patented way to
almost climb off of the dial surface like that. Again this is one of those themes, that even if not
entirely used in the same way by other companies, you at least see some inspiration, or similar
feel to what these here actually are. Moving to the hands is just as fun here with this one sir. The
width of the hour, and minute hands reflects the look that the markers have. They slice through the
deep blue dial in a very aggressive style, takes no prisoners. I love the second hand as well here
with that similar block at the end there. What an ingenious touch, and yet another aspect that
you see with other watches also. Going back to the dial for a second Jeffery ! Smile The blue that is
on this is simply ASTOUNDING ! Many times we see blue dials, but this one separates itself from the
pack because of the deep blue color on it. Almost reminds you of exactly what the ocean looks like !
What an exceptional job of deciding to go with this color by Doxa. 1st 2011 Watch - Doxa 5000T Sharkhunter 46145 In EVERY way, it shows off
what this dial has to offer. From the legendary markers, and hands, to the writing, and hash marks,
this dial is AMAZING. However, the amazing theme just continues onto the bezel, and case with this
watch. The saw like shape on this bezel is SPECTACULAR. Always wondered how Doxa came up with
this here. Plus it's neat how you have the inner part with hash marks, along with the outer part on
there with it's shark/saw-like teeth. It simply can't be beat, and neither can the shapeof the case
on this one sir. It's almost like this watch was created by aliens or something. alien On the one hand
it could be the hull on a ship, and on the other it looks like a UFO ! The shape, together with the
bezel literally looks like two different cases stacked on top of eachother, and the brushing sets off
the look even MORE ! Have to add that the bracelet is equally as beautiful as it blends perfectly
into the EPIC watch case. Oh, and the crown is GREAT too, as it seems to mirror the saw-like
teeth on the bezel's edge ! ..Yowza once again Jeffery ! What A LEGEND here !!! Congratulations
on getting your Doxa Sharkhunter ! ..I really hope you will enjoy it !!!

EPIC watch, AND photo here !
