Sub 300T vs Sub 1500T: the only two Doxas worth buying, and I couldn't choose

In my opinion, which isn't valued by anyone in particular, there are only two Doxas worth buying, and these are them: the Sub 300T in Professional orange and the Sub 1500T Searambler. They're almost identical. The 1500T is just the steroid-infested version.

This one is for the five people in the world trying to decide between them. I go through the dial colours, then each watch, then put them side by side on the wrist.

Too close to call

I couldn't decide, so I ended up with both and I wear them both. The 300T is manageable, sensible and comfortable; the 1500T is bigger, heavier and more of a freak. Which one is for you, I don't know.

9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's own

A scaled-up 300T for big wrists: domed sapphire, smoother ETA 2892, screwed 21 mm lugs that are a pain, and heavy enough to pull your arm down.
