Thanks for taking the time to post this Peter.
Question: Why did Rolex and Doxa share the patent?…vs. one or the other filing for their own respective company?

It's a great read Peter, but I can't resist.
For movie buffs, Dr. Szell (you mention the Zell Brothers jewelers) was the dentist that tortured Dustin Hoffman by drilling thru his tooth in Marathon Man, all the time asking...…….…….. Is it safe? Please forgive me. |

Nice writeup!
As more of a true WIS and engineer, I love the history behind the technology developments that led the engineering of these iconic diver watches all the way from the 1970's, i.e. how they solved the issues with saturated diving and diver watches. These are my favourite iconic diver watches: - Rolex Sea Dweller - Doxa Sub300T Conquistador - Omega Plopro - Seiko Tuna 600m If you read about them you will see how Seiko and Omega took different routes instead of the HEV. |
