i quite like doxa particularly the cushion shaped cases
but there is no way i would buy from a company that behaves in such a manner.
the arrogance is unbeliveable
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
What a load of bollocks. I know many Chinese, and their English is excellent.Originally Posted by WORKSIMON
Their after sales was something that made quite a few customers weep.Some of their products have also been PR cock-jobs as have their aftersales so yes their PR skills are in some cases reflective of their products.
I remember some people posting here (when we had the unofficial Doxa forum over here) about crowns that came loose, Doxa charging them for repairs (even with nearly new watches!!) etc.
Then their fcuk ups like the chrono with the wrong printing, so that you could see a 4 minute scale instead of a 5 minute scale.
Stealth lume (other brands would say: defective lume).... another great DOXA find!
Really, please let them go bankrupt, they don't deserve making a profit...
BTW: look at their wikipedia comments:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Doxa_S.A.
I saw their wikipedia-text before and it was bloating about how great Doxa was etc... Clearly made by an employee or some Doxa-fanboy...
Ah well, I was coming from a position of knowing bugger all you see.... I assumed they were a company that made good watches but had zero talent at PR. I stand corrected.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Doxa is the village idiot of the watch industry. But I hope they never change. They're a source of constant hilarity to the WIS community.
In my previous post I forgot to mention mr. Rick Marei, the marketing manager @ Doxa.
Let me keep things nice and friendly over here, but I think Doxa and its customers would be better of without that S.O.B.
Its all marketing, it created more traffic to the Doxa site than the new watch itself. Rick Marei, aka John Pfeiffer, aka....... is a man that knows how to create site traffic when the product does not. I am 100% sure this is all calculated and deliberate; after 10 years of messing up like this it has to.
Well, let's see if it is going to create more traffic to his bank account :)
I reckon not.

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
All it's done is show me that they are a company that treats its customers and potential customers with contempt. All publicity is not good publicity; this is one turd that cannot be polished.

I agree with your monkey picture Daddel but have no idea of it's relevance to this thread, which is why I am posting this:
The monkey was an angry Doxa customer, that's how he ended up after a very bad service from them :shock: :lol:I agree with your monkey picture Daddel but have no idea of it's relevance to this thread, which is why I am posting this:
No relevance at all, but.................you gotta love his hat 8)

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Well - theres no chance I will ever be buying one.. customer service is key if you are buying watches for the long term....
T-Bag and his band of MerryMen @ ADOX do more to promote TROLLISM than anyone I know. Perhaps they should consider....................
Or even better...................................
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!
Why does this make me think of Jeff Foxworthy?
IF you ever cut your grass and found a car ... You Might Be a Redneck.
IF you own a homemade fur coat ... You Might Be a Redneck.
IF you think a chain saw is a musical instrument ... You Might Be a Redneck.
IF you think a subdivision is part of a math problem ... You Might Be a Redneck.
IF you've ever been involved in a custody fight over a hunting dog ... You Might Be a Redneck.
Maybe they should try a different type of "if," especially T-Bone.
If by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
Freedom of speech is clearly a lost concept for these people?Truly WTF.

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Freedom of speech is a double egded sword. While it gives men the freedom to say whatever is on thier mind without fear of government retribution, it also gives everyone the freedom to be butt-holes. And in this day of internet anonymity, they seem to come out in droves. Call me old fashioned, but if you don't like the way a company is run, or the products they make, then don't give them your money. It just seems a bit like an elementary school fight with two groups of children on each side of the playground calling each other names. Come on, there just watches :roll:
You need to edit your post a little Poorman, everyone can read it.
And perhaps also mention the fact that he is/was a Doxa employee... :twisted:
What if the watch company are being the 'ass-holes' and not being anonymous in their delivery/suppression of of it by themselves or their agents?
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Not in China. Which, thinking about it, probably explains everything.
Isn't that where they make Doxas?Not in China. Which, thinking about it, probably explains everything.

This picture is taken right form the Walca Far East web page.
Doxa's are made in China. Everyone knows. There is no way to deny this fact.

I guess they aren't made discreetly enough then.
:DInnovation, discretion and reliability.

You may have been tracked, we have all taken the necessary precautions:Yes, but does this mean we've been tracked down?
That is entirely what I was speaking about Rhect, that image you cut and pasted is from the Walca Switzerland section of the webpage where watches are made in Bienne/Biel, Switzerland. Walca does make watches in and for the Asian market, please look on that particular link.
That nuclear bomb is a dud :twisted:
Cheers,

I think there needs to be specific proof given the link and the implications.
Clearly you have knowledge - please share this.
I currently see little beyond the exploitation of the rules in relation to 'swiss made' displayed in a Chinese watch manufacturers portfolio and a manufacturer (and their agents) being obtuse over the origins of it's products?
Happy to be enlightened.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Very unsavoury attitude. If I ever was considering buying one of their watches new, I'm certainly not now.
Me too, Doxa now off the list.
Here is the link for Walca Switzerland:
http://www.walca.ch/index.php?m=100&c=100
Watch the slide show and see.
Then do the same at the Walca Far East site:
http://www.walca.ch/index.php?m=200&c=200
No smoking guns anywhere. I have no problem with questions, but do not have any time for false allegations.
Cheers,
Andy
A fair call, post edited.
I see no answers here, same company, same manufacturing base. Sector distribution and exploitation of 'rules' is no alibi if people have concerns/issues. Neither is oppressive internet presence and the use of sleepers on other fora.
I do not dislike the watches they make in terms of design and for - as for the company attitude......
Have they been caught with there pants down or not?
Stop being obtuse and provide some proof or vindication.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
I've been had, must have been the CIA, MI6, or perhaps the KGB :shock: Never thought of it as a secret :lol: I used to participate in MANY watch forums, not much time anymore. I have been a member here for a long time.You may have been tracked, we have all taken the necessary precautions:Yes, but does this mean we've been tracked down?
Cheers,
Andy
ISTR there was talk some time ago about this one being laid to rest by Doxa hosting a tour of their factory in Switzerland. Did this ever happen?
I'm confused. Are you saying that the watches shouldn't appear on any pages linked to the Far East 'site?
If you click on Contact under the Far East 'site, the watches appear in the slide show.
Yes, that's correct. Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny reported back that the facility does indeed exist :lol:
