Trusty Timex Expedition bronze case today
Didn't like the tan leather strap it came with, swapped it out for something nicer.
Love the lume on this,
The whole dial glows green when you press the crown.
Had a Timex that did this when I was a Kid, takes me back.
Felt like James Bond![]()

I like that one Gaz.
A watch you can read in dim or no light is very handy. Not sure how I lived without it.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > Troels Gravesen Faital 3WC-15.
Got two Expeditions, here they are with my other Timexes. The blue one lights up but the green one is solar powered so kind of does the opposite.

Kind of tempted for the watch in the link below. Trying well hard to resist.
