Doxa is more popular in N. America than the rest of the world.
Seiko Monster at that price pt of US$250+, I say it maybe the very popular in the rest of the world. ppl may love a Doxa but at US$1.2K an up Seiko Orange Monster is definitely alot more affordable.  there should be more Orange Monster sold vs Doxa. esp there are orange monster that are made in SG/Msia http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=166221 Added on July 6, 2010, 10:44 amwonder anyone have access to these http://www.hautelook.com/event/swisswatch3...nisex?sid=31206 eg Tag Heuer Mens Calibre S Watch usd$1,399.00 (retail $2,600) 46% Off .jpg) Maurice Lacroix Mens Masterpiece Watch MP6428-SS001-11E usd$1,900.00 ($7,600) 75% Off  Maurice Lacroix MI6028-SS062-330 usd$525.00 ($2,100) 75% Off  Maurice Lacroix pwr res PT6167-SS001-110 usd$713.00 ($2,850) 75% Off .jpg) Added on July 6, 2010, 10:56 am@ck77 so fast sick of Pam homage!!!! http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.ph...pic,1200.0.html This post has been edited by patryn33: Jul 6 2010, 10:56 AM |
