DOXA in Asia (who are you?)

By TLex The unrecognizable face of DOXA in Asia! DOXA Watches have had presence in Asia since 2009, now. From what I know this is predominantly in mainland China and its surrounding areas. The range of 'DOXA Watches in Asia' is a pretty unfamiliar sight, you'll find none of the traditional SUB models that have such a strong following, particularly in the online dive watch community.

Instead DOXA takes a leaf out of Invicta's book of unoriginality and rips-off Rolex's Daytona with the Doxa 'Racerman' and the Datejust with the Doxa 'Noble', does Cartier badly with the Doxa 'Calex' and offers a sprinkling of unremarkable fashion / dress watches, which includes a 100m Zodiac type diver, thoughtfully named 'Aquaman'! Wait! Sorry there is one SUB model, I forgot! The Sub 200 with diamond indexes! Doxa purists are advice to browse the 'Doxa in Asia' site with extreme caution, and preferably with a vomit bag at the ready.
