I absolutely love Timex. I have an Ironman and use when I'm out doing field work (I'm a geologist). Funny thing is, there were five of us working on a soil and groundwater remediation system (a system that removes groundwater and vapors from contaminated soil) last Fall and we all noticed that we had the exact same watches on. All were purchased seperately without any previous knowledge that the others were purchasing the same watch. We laughed about it and said that Timex should make a "company name" version of the Ironman because everyone in our office wears one. Timex is the absolute best bang for the buck out there.

Nothing wrong with Timex's. I can't get enough of them. My favourite is T41241, bought recently for £38 as new, with box and manual and even still has the model number sticker on the underneath of the base, the sticker which would've been for the shop's benefit.

JC...nice pick-up.Just picked this up at Walmart for $25.00 (rollback). T2N692. I'm loving it so far. Very comfortable and I love the face. Needed a brown leather strap on the cheap.
If there's one feature that's missing from my small collection, it's a roman numeral dial. It adds that little bit of extra classic styling. Next time I'm at Wally World, I'll have to look for this one and/or others.

Thanks. Here's a wrist shot. I actually got a complement from a cashier last night. Go figure, I wear my Mako for a month and no one says a word. I wear the Timex for one day and get a complement.

I was in J.Crew today and bought one of these, since I loved the olive green and red combo:

But it didn't look right with any of my 18mm lug watches (which all have black or blue dials). So naturally I headed to Wal-Mart and picked up one of these:

The result is a pretty awesome-looking casual field watch - better-looking than the actual slip-thru Weekenders, IMO. No pics yet but I'll try to get some up tomorrow.
I'm not normally into NATO straps, I think because they just don't sit right on the wrist when the watch is too big (and I have tiny wrists, so most watches ARE too big). But this combo is perfect for me. I think the watch is 36-37mm and the strap is 18mm, which just looks better on my wrist than the 20mm NATOs I've tried before.

I love the simple look of these. I used to get 18mm nato straps at American Eagle really cheap, full price was only $6.99 and I got them on sale for as little as $2 each.
