Faux patina sorry. The original had yellow coloured lume. According to the guy who was Breitling's design consultant for this piece (Fred something or other who is a big vintage Breitling collector) the lume colour of the reissue is exactly the same as the colour of the lume on the original when it was produced.
Damn it! So weak …
And I got this just before Christmas:
but I just put it back to the drawer

I looked at buying this towards the end of last year and it finally arrived this week. Explorer II 16570, polar dial. Full set.
The photo is dark as it's a nod towards the caving history!
I love the Doxa Sub Caribbean dial. I have just “upgraded” my 300T to a new 2020 300 COSC model, so I have both for the time being, but I am finding it incredibly difficult to decide which one to keep (and trying not to justify to myself that they are sufficiently different to keep both!).

More for fitness than as a new watch but going to wear it 24/7 for a bit and see how I get on. Quite good so far and interesting data, just wonder how accurate it is around sleep and stress.
With thanks to Andrew.
These are nice, should have got one earlier
A brief list of the differences...
- different movement
- different case shape and size
- different bezel
- different dial design
- different hand set
- different bracelet
- different end link design and case integration
- different clasp
- different WR
...but other than that, almost exactly the same :-)
I think that’s correct about the outer bezel.
The 300 is certainly more svelte and the ‘super dome’ crystal on the 300 vs flat crystal on the 300T (forgot to add that to the list of differences above), along with the slimmer case and integrated end links on the 300 all give the watch a very different look and feel.
My last incoming on what has been a non stop month. Time to enjoy! DSub1. :)
Already in the Friday thread, but WTH, when you're excited, you're excited!
Wanted that as soon as I saw it on SC, well done sir!
