I love Timex.

There is an asthetic reason for watch makers not to use sapphire crystal with vintage remakes/homages. There is a vintage look that comes with acrylic. It is less "flashy" and adds a unique element to how the dial is experienced.

Birthday is coming and will be buying this watch on the bracelet for myself! So beautiful! Goes to show a watch doesn’t need to break the bank to be amazing!!

I have a small collection of vintage watches including a 70’s Timex which is in great condition and still runs! And therein lies the rub. Of all the old Timex’s I purchased this is the only runner. I get their market position, and their questionable quality record, but damn, they can produce interesting looking watches. Thanks for featuring this one.

I have the rosegold version. It's gorgeous :)

Fantastic watch .retro yet dress . Timex is doing what Swatch should be up to .

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Why didn't I mention that in the video?? 😂 You're so right though. Thanks again for the comment and support.

I have this watch and so far it has been great. My friend thought I had bought a TAG..when he found it was a Timex he wanted one. Great review, thanks again.

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hi Micheal! Yeap .. fully agree, they got a really good balance on budget and looks. Timex is in fire with this!

Nice review on the Timex chrono . I pulled the trigger and got the metal bracelet version . $150 after tax Amazon . Only gripe I have is plastic crystal and quartz . For the price you are right . I prefer reliability over Chinese movements that are hit n miss . Times is local , phonecall away . I sport mine on a mesh bracelet to have micro adjustability for summer . Cool research of the vintage marlin with funky numbers . You are the only review that pointed that out .

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hi there Fred! Thanks a million for the support and the comment! As far as 8'm aware the crystal is acrylic so worst case scenario you can just buff it out but I do agree with you on the reliability part! I never seem to hold on to Chinese watches as long!

This is a nice one. My dad was a big Timex fan. I've been generally disappointed with Timex re-releases, quality was below what one would expect for the price. I haven't held this one so maybe it's better. 2 of my chronos, an Orient jdm panda, looks like this, and a Pulsar Solar are both 44mm, I have a 39mm also but I do think bigger is better for a chronograph, but my 8.1“ wrist might influence that opinion. I agree on the fingerprint issue. If it's not a smartwatch, why would you be touching it? I will have a look at this in my local seller but I'm a bit iffy about the acrylic. For $200 they could easily put a sapphire on it. The Epson is an Orient movement as it's in mine. And I suspect it's really a VK63 movement rebranded because it looks exactly the same inside. I know it's hard to tell with a quartz but it probably makes sense that it's the same one as Epsom is of course the parent company of both Seiko and Orient. I don't mind no lume as the lume is usually not great on this type of watch anyway. Thanks for the excellent review George!

Ben's watches cracked open the back and said it is a mecha quartz . A variation . So pretty and like the vintage Carrera . Affordable .

[@paolovillanueva7726]

Nice video! May I know your wrist size?

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

@@paolovillanueva7726 6.3 inches

[@shotbythebeard]

Is it possible to have a new sapphire crystal installed on it?

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Of you când find a watch makes that will put one in and if you când fine one retail, yes!

[@Sorin_DIY_Mechanical_Nerd]

Nice, Mr G, but I prefer my Fossil collection.

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Thanks for the comment and support Sorin! Why do you prefer it, because it's bigger in size ? :))
