Because I have a young family and money is tight, I've had to sell off my more expensive watches and have decided that to satisfy my watch addiction for the next few years I'm going to rely on Timex watches. I've already got a few but I'm going to continue to build my collection.
I've really found some sharp looking pieces out there and wondered if no one on here has much love for Timex?
Surely in this forum folks could share some of their Timex watches? I know there used to be a dedicated Timex forum but it got dissolved into this forum so are there still Timex collectors out there?

we love timex......
and we have many question......

so.. please sixtysix can you help me..?
about this Diver 200m showed in the modified (by me) pic...

1) does it have screw down crown and screwed case back?
i think yes.....

2) what's the purpose of the gear-like ring across the pusher?
i don't know,,,

3) does the lume it is still good also without the indiglo?
don't know...

4)the strap or the braclet can be easy replaced with a standard one or maybe does it requires a dedicated strap or bracled only made by Timex?

it is good?
It's heavy or well usable?
have you any lume shot of the timex 200m diver...

Hello ecalzo!

It does have a screw down crown and a screwed case back! You are right. As far as being heavy, the band is stainless and rubber and it weighs 4.9 oz. (138.9 g) set up for my wrist. I would say medium weight for a diver. Is it good? I like it, but if I were going to dive, I would most likely wear a pro grade diver. They call this a Dive STYLE watch, good looking but not sure how it would hold up in the deep sea.

Another question please..
i saw it today at my local store but unfortunately it was closed.....
so...
does the case it is all made of stainless steel or maybe only the screw back case it is
SS and the case it's made of another kind of metal?
:think:
so sorry but the shop was closed.......:-(

for the look.......
it is the PVD version the best looking or maybe the model like your's..?
At the shop they also have the titanium version with the yellow dial...
i'm debating a lot about the one i want.....
:think::-!

thanks for the great pics and for all the answer...

I know that the quality of some Timex watches is higher than others. I still have the Expedition I bought in 1999 before I went to Squadron Officer School. The indiglo doesn't work any more, nor do the alarms, and most of the watch is corroded from being in contact with my salt skin. I keep it for sentimental reasons.

But the watch did it's job for a very long time, though several deployments. I considered it my work horse. I think Timex makes a great affordable watch.

agree......|>

that are the words that started all from the beginning.......
welcome back and thanks to you my friend.....;-)

here's my new timex combo military........
now you can see it with live pics......

someone can tell me if it is normal that only
the two push button on the right of the watch
makes sounds when pushed?
it's normal that the indiglo and the mode buttons
doesn't make any beep when pushed?
:think:

thanks
