Lately, it feels like someone at Timex discovered that it still has a pulse. This caught my eye today. I don't know that I'd buy this with my own money, but I like it. Waterbury Traditional Fly Back Chronograph 43mm Leather Strap Watch - TW2W47900 | Timex US If this one were an automatic, I'd consider it. Waterbury Traditional GMT 39mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - TW2W22700 | Timex US While I'm here, may as well share this too. Been watching this company for a while. Would love this watch on a different strap. A perfectly useless afternoon: mechanical | Kristof Devos X Mr Jones Watches | Swiss movement swimming pool watch
Got my first Ironman at Kmart with mom, had lunch, and got new sneakers for less than that...all at the same time.
It can happen. I had a Seiko Diver I took...wait for it...Diving. I noticed moisture in case on day 2 and went ohh crap, and the first thing i did was check the crown and it was screwed down. I was in the Keys with no way to open it so it sat. I had bought it new about 6-8 months earlier from an AD, but online not a local AD. I wen to a local AD and told them what happened, then sent it in and after a few weeks said it would be covered under warranty. I dont know exactly what was wrong but i assumed a seal somewhere failed, installed wrong...whatever. The watch came back a few months later and still works great...years later. Automatic watches are mechanical and have a lot of parts. It only takes one to eff it up.
Honestly I think Timex could become a Hamilton level brand with old school style and be pretty cool. I'd pay a grand for a cool automatic Timex that punched above its weight class in the value department. Just checked out their site and this is actually pretty cool but the bracelet sucks. Would be a cool knock around watch assuming it feels like decent quality in person. Timex
I feel the same way. Timex has lots of potential. An American Tissot? But, you're right about the bracelets. A lot of them simply look terrible. If they continue to evolve, it should be fun to watch. (no pun intended)
Checked out a big pilot 43 today and it left me. . . Disappointed. I was expecting a smaller big pilot at a cheaper price and I saw a larger mark XX at a shit price. First time IWC left me kind of disappointed.
Been looking for this color for a while. Finally found it in Vegas, had to buy it even if it wasn't fiscally responsible right now.

They show some more of the watches(along with a shit ton of pop-up bs) in this GQ link https://www.gq.com/story/sylvester-stallone-sothebys-auction-patek-philippe-grandmaster-chime I like the Luminor Regatta on a strap.
I dig the same one but it's probably some monster 48mm beast that will make my arms look even more puny then they already are lol.
