P.S. it wasn’t an Automatic.

It's this one Alex

Retro design but probably larger than the original at 40mm. Got mine pre-owned off ebay at a good price & I've changed the gold mesh strap for a more understated black leather one.

I agree the strap you’ve put on is MUCH better. Love it. :)

:thumbsup: I’ll try and remember to look for grandads tomorrow, missing a strap I know, and probably doesn’t work.

Black one is nice. I would happily own that

Yes, I like the look of the black Timex.

Incidently my first wristwatch was a Timex. Think I was 7 or 8 years old at the time.

Casio digital in my time.

My friend had one of these at primary school I was very jealous. I hated the look of the calculator ones though.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a9664f070e.jpg
