Great video, was just what I needed. Just ordered an orange Seestern with ceramic bezel. Have always looked at the DOXA 600 and love how it looks, but man, the price is just huge.

I just made the same order. odd that no one really makes a wacth this simple, nice and with an orange face. Some do, bu they are all stupid limid editoins and a few thousand. Sub 600T Orange for the win.

Great comparisson. Case back shouldn't be polished imo. Otherwise, good luck with not scrathing it when opening. Seestern wins there also

The Seestern watch which I handled had small, albeit visible scratches from its bracelet and clasp on its case back even though it's brushed. This is inevitable, I haven't seen a watch which doesn't get scratches from the clasp banging against the case back - perhaps some high end coating would prevent this?

I was at the Airport the other day & they have a huge store with many different high end brands . When people go on about homages it's funny how they never speak about the high end older watch companies ripping off others designs ! I spent over an hour in the store & seriously every older reputable watch company had a homage to nearly everyone elses design 😂😂 . Also the quality/price ratio as this overview suggests really makes you wonder why you would spend the extra $$ ???

I have the orange in seestern. Its an amazing watch and it shows just how ridiculously overpriced Doxa is. My uncle has the Doxa and he sold it when i showed him mine and enjoyed having a grand to blow on other watches. The hands on mine are clean no paint isues and they extended the second hand on newer models i guess. Enjoy the name for an extra 1200 bucks... Lmao.

You keep saying that you like this, and you like that in the Doxa… but all you are just doing is justifying the fact that you spent $1500 on that Doxa. I did the opposite, and let go of the Doxa just recently so that I could at least get what I can for it, and kept the Seestern instead. To me, the hands I truly could have cared less about because they both look fine to me. The polished bezel knurls on the Doxa means nothing because you can just as easily polished the bezel knurls on the Seestern too. I actually prefer the caseback on the Seestern over the Doxa because it has more detail, and less polish, but if you like polish, then the Seestern is easy to polish. I will admit that I did like that extra half a millimeter thickness of the Doxa, but that does not justify the outrageous amount of money spent on the Doxa

Thank you for the video, it's very informative and your observations are 100% in line with what I found when I had a chance to handle both watches. A couple of additional points: 1. The crown on Seestern doesn't sit flush with the case, the edge catches on nets, lines etc. The copy which I handled had very sharp knurling - to the point of damaging my skin when setting the watch. 2. The clasp on Seestern has been made for a much chunkier bracelet, the gap is too big and the top part of the clasp catches on things (The sharp edges only make this issue worse ). This can be easily rectified by attaching another clasp. 3. The most important difference is that the movements are worlds apart. With NH35 it always boils down to the luck of the draw (Or perhaps of how strong the package has been tossed around when in transit?). The copy of this Seestern watch which I handled had to have the movement exchanged because I could not bring it to a stable +/-10 spd in all positions. SW200 is much better when it comes to accuracy and is regulated more easily (Only when the need arises and if you are not afraid of compromising the water tightness of the watch...). 4. Non-technical aspects, which have been discussed over and over. In the red corner, you have a reputable brand shamelessly milking their models from the past, in the blue corner - a copycat shamelessly ripping off other brands' designs.
