Major 4000T Sapphire Model News!!!!!!

[DOXA Forum Administrator 1]

Hi everyone, there has been a lot of talk about this model over the past few months, and at some point after the initial announcement the project was abandoned due to technical difficulties resulting from Superluminova and the Sapphire bezel combination

We have worked hard with our suppliers on fixing this issue and we were able to make this beauty come true. Now check the images of the final product. The Professional bezel will have orange glowing numbers, the Sharkhunter will have white/green glowing numbers, the orange 15 minute section on both models will glow orange.

We are issuing a limited run of 50 Sharkhunter and 50 Professional, they will begin shipping in October, eventually to be continued to a total of a 150 piece limited edition next year.

The retail price of this model is $3490.00, the factory price is $2790.00

Diameter 47.00mm including crown protection
Diameter excluding the crown protection is 44.00mm.

I have not been a fan of the 4000T up to this point because it just didn't feel right to me.

Now, having said that, I have to admit, with this bezel...oh man... i can see myself really liking this piece!

I will have to give Kudos to DOXA on this one. That sapphire bezel does appear to deliver sexiness!

I have to agree 100% on your opinion of the bezel

I agree also. That Sharkhunter model is SMASHING

[Flyingdoctor]

Don't stick my head up too often these days but had to surface to say wooooooooo the Sharkhunter is a beauty. I really think this one was worth the wait.

[roadshadowww]

Since I first saw the real world photos of this piece I've loved the large size of the 4000's dial.

Now add this bezel and it's a Home Run !

Well done, Doxa. That looks FANTASTIC. Too big for me, but it will look superb on those that can wear a big watch.

[Flyingdoctor]

OK, 50 gazillion dollar question.....are the numbers on the bezel luminous? Actually thinking about, not sure how they could be seeing some are black.

EDIT ..... Thanks Roadshadowww... guess I should actually read what is written

Damn, I am finding this hard to resist. I swore my watch buying days were behind me ..............

Doc, see the post. Looks like they will.

[Jeep99dad]

Wow. I was skeptical about the initial model but this bezel is just what the doctor ordered the little something that makes a big difference, makes the watch in this case IMO! The Sharky is especially stunning though both are great!
Still not a fan of the bracelet but to each his own!

Better late than never Doxa! Great job on this one!

..... this bezel is just what the doctor ordered

Did he? That's not how I interpreted his quote:

..... I am finding this hard to resist. I swore my watch buying days were behind me .....

I'm in the same boat as our Flyingdoctor ...... must resist must resist must resist .....

Kudo's to Doxa for bringing yet another stunning timepiece to the market

Looks great but I'm going to resist the trend and say that I like the no decomp bezel better. It is one of the things that makes Doxas stand out. I for one am glad I didn't wait and have been enjoying mine for the last 7 months.

Two true beauties DOXA, and a real bargain for the first 50 (just try to find a comparable watch in that price range!). Well done!

[Stonechild]

Beautiful.

[Deacon211]

Very nice job on the bezel Doxa!

I still prefer the no deco bezel as well however. It's not necessarily better...arguably with my near vision, it's worse...but to me, the no deco bezel is just part of what makes a Doxa, a Doxa.

Beautiful new sapphire bezels.

Does the sapphire bezel have the curvature like the SS version does or is it flat? It is tough to tell in those straight-on views.

Are there any side or 3/4 views?

Thanks.

That Sharkhunter is sick to the power of awesome. I wasn't thrilled with the 4000T Sharkie initially because it was just too black and white for my taste...that sapphire bezel solves that problem!

Hi, no the the bezel Sapphire insert is not curved, it is actually domed and the bezel underneath is straight
