Hey everybody!
Today I'll be looking at a retro inspired
Timex quartz.
I picked this up a few months back on
Amazon for a bit over  $40
Quick wrist watch check.
Today I'm wearking my Seiko Blue Lagoon Turtle,
very nice....
Follow the link to see my review on it.
There was nothing else in that huge Amazon
box, but just this little box.
You think they would be able to put it in
a smaller box than that.... but anyhow...
Seems the movement came from the Philipines
and the band from China.
What's this....
Timex men's Pocket watch?!
Holy crap!
Did I order the wrong thing?
Oh, ok.  That's the right watch, it's in a 
Timex Originals box.
Under the watch stand is a page of 
instructions I'll never ever read.
Let me get rid of this plastic on the bracelet.
Seems the hang-tag is stuck, let's see if
I can remove it without cutting it.
FAIL!
Meh, Screw it.
So yeah, this watch comes with an expansion
bracelet, so it'll fit anyone.
It's not as good quality as some of the older Spiedel expansion bracelets, like the one on this watch.
Timex scissor expansion tends to catch
my arm hairs... which is kind of annoying...
The watch features a date window and the hands
move precisely when setting the time.
Here's a wrist shot, doesn't look too bad,
but I think I want something other than an
expansion bracelet
for this watch.
I think just a black leather strap would 
probably look  better.
Here's a closeup of the dial, applied Timex
logo, a black face with a touch of red on
the indicies,
surrounded by a white outer ring.
Looks suitably retro.
Obviously at this price the crystal is mineral
and not sapphire, and only has 50 meters
of water resistance.
The back of the watch is engraved with the
usual information.
Apparently this was a 2010 release and
the entire case is stainless steel.
Hey watchobt!
Give us some specs on the watch!
THE WATCH IS 38MM WIDE AND CAN TAKE A 20MM
WATCH BAND!
Thanks watchbot!
So let's check out the lume!
Surprisingly this watch has very good lume.
Not as good as my Seiko Turtle, but good enough.
Overall, it's not a bad little watch for $45,
and I'd pick one up if you can still get one
at that price.
I bought mine on Amazon, but they no longer
have them.
Only place I could find one was for sale
was on eBay at $100.
Now, at that price, I'd spend a few dollars
more and pick up one of the retro Todd Snyder/Timex
collaborations.
Personally I like the one with the military
dial.
Anyhow, that's all I have for this week!
