Very positiveRecommends
An enthusiastic, nostalgia-tinged review. The reviewer finds the 750T bold but surprisingly wearable thanks to its short lug-to-lug, praises the bezel action, ratcheting clasp and dependable movement, and only nitpicks the 21mm lug width.

What the review says, point by point
- Case & proportionspositive
- Considers the 47mm lug-to-lug surprisingly manageable for a 45mm case.
- Notes it is much slimmer than the original early-2000s 750T.
- The cushion case and tower-like bezel give it substantial visual heft.
- Wearabilitypositive
- Sits squarely on the wrist without overhanging lugs.
- Does not wear small; its wrist presence is intentional for a tool diver.
- Bracelet & strappositive
- Finds the rubber strap snug and secure.
- The comfortable beads-of-rice bracelet can drop away steeply at the lugs on a flat wrist.
- Values the ratcheting clasp for quick micro-adjustment in daily wear.
- The 21mm lug width limits aftermarket strap swapping, a mild self-described nitpick.
- Movementpositive
- Sees the Sellita as a reliable, appropriate movement for a tool watch.
- Functionalitypositive
- Praises the crisp, resistant bezel action as a mark of a great dive watch.
- Originalitypositive
- Feels no other watch looks like a DOXA, which is central to its appeal.
- Valuepositive

- Compared with
