the wave one is quite striking
Some nice pieces, I'm very tempted but after you add import duties etc. it makes them a 'dear do'.Quote:

Thanks. Pretty sure I'll be buying off them again despite the duty/tax issues - they carry some interesting brands.Quote:

I quite like that one - clear and unfussy. Does everything one would want from a wristwatch.Quote:

Nonetheless it's a nice looking watch.
I would think it's beadblasted titanium.Quote:

Batteries cost that!
Yep, more or less a throw away watch.Quote:

attractive watch. timex used to do these well.
The recent auto models I've got have been very well put together, up there with Seikos for build quality.Quote:

they make them all over world and are restarting ops in the usa too
My first watch was a Timex. I think I was 8 at the time. :)
Same, a small auto 'diver's' watch that had little or no WR, mid sixties, think the bezel fell off and I binned it.Quote:

Not much luck with Timex
not sure if i love it or hate it, but its deffo got something:)
It's actually better in the flesh, I struggled to get a decent pic of it without it looking like a toy.Quote:

none too shabby either.. your collection mast be huge now.:eyebrows: like my film collection
I have been selling some of my larger pieces on to replace them with smaller more elegant watches (but the sell to buy ratio is certainly skewed towards the latter).Quote:

interesting and busy face. quite like it all the same
It's actually a 'hybrid', the calendar function on the left is mechanical but the watch itself is quartz, a bit gimmicky really.Quote:
