Anyone here own Doxa? Does brand rep make a difference?

At the WUS and EOT watch forums another controversy is brewing about the company's censorship of the forums they run.

Despite the fact that many Doxa owners praise the watch and it's design and quality once they have one in hand, the company seems to attract negative feedback all the time because of the way they treat customers

Personally, I have hesitated several times now because of stuff like this. Omega, Breitling, and Rolex are the brands I trust and my feeling right now is that I am better off with any of these brands than I would be with Doxa. I feel this way even though I know that people who own Doxa divers really like them.

Ever have this happen to you?

Doxa just increased their prices 33% as well. Just about every time I get to feeling comfortable with their brand image, despite my knowing they do a good job making the watches themselves, something happens which sinks it. Maybe I am being too sensitive or picky. Still, if I compare them with Breitling, Omega, or Rolex, well, there doesn't seem to be a real comparison. Now I am thinking that The Superocean might be my next diver. I have to laugh at myself, maybe I just need to buy from a relatively "quiet" company right now.
