Pulled the trigger on one of these- curious to see how I'll like it. Pic shamelessly stolen from TBWS.

I'm looking for a similar deal on the two-tone one because I have an idea.

Cool! I have this one and really like it. I love that it came with the bracelet but also works well with pretty much any casual strap. And I think it was some good luck that my favorite iteration (grey dial on bracelet) also happened to also be the lowest price. I feel like that doesn't happen very often.

Does that idea include a jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel?

Yeah man! I think it will be watch to try straps on. Plus being 20mm makes it all the more convenient.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 9:55 pm Cool! I have this one and really like it.

I think this could well be the perfect platform for such a mod.

Along with the solid 14k Dorado, this Southampton is probably the rarest watch Timex sold to the public.

With an upcoming camping trip in the mountains I wanted a way to determine altitude, so I picked up one of these. First time owning a Pro Trek. We'll see how I make the 52mm size work, lol.

The velocity with which watches have been coming in and going out has really picked up for me this year... [emoji28]
This is my latest inbound. The Sinn 556i Red Seconds.

That watch is hot! The regular 556i is on my list, but that red second hand is .

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Thanks! I was after a 556i as well... but then I started chatting up a seller and politely pointed out that the condition of the watch (some AR and bracelet scratches) was worthy of the price I offered. It worked. [emoji6]Split-Time wrote:That watch is hot! The regular 556i is on my list, but that red second hand is .
I kinda like that it’s already lived a full life because I’ll (theoretically) be less inclined to baby it.
