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?

Close, but I was talking about this one:

Both really cool watches. Timex has really been stepping up their game in recent years. Unfortunately I also stumbled across their depth gauge diver and want that too...

So many watches, so little money

Timex Weekender $17 + Tax at Groupon

I know this is in the Bargain thread, but I figured I'd post here as well.

$17 plus tax for a choice of weekenders. Great deal.

TNT13 you almost cost me $20... but then I realized the white dial one I found attractive was a ladies' model. :rodekaart

I'm wearing this one right now as an impromptu gift from the wife. I love it. It's actually a very unique design, yet reminds me of the Hamilton Khaki watches... very accurate and tough so far. Just do not like when I accidentally actuate the Indiglo stem. I sleep in all my watches and scared to kill the battery prematurely.

I've got the grey. Looks awesome on a Grey/Black NATO.

I'm on the hunt right now for the T49708 below. It's discontinued and I have had absolutely zero luck finding it, not even eBay has helped.

I have this one as well. I like it, but I have a difficult time distinguishing the hour and minute hands from the others at night when it's necessary to use the Indiglo feature. (Maybe it's just me :-/)

LB75...

You've got a nice collection of IQ Timex models...my guess is that you're not too far from having the complete set or variants. Welcome to the disease we call watch collecting.

Thanks for the welcome Dan! I'm a bit away from the complete set, but should be a lot closer by the time Christmas rolls around this year

I have the black/blue with black silicone strap arriving on Thursday, the black/yellow with black leather strap next month, plus three others at Christmas. Collection will be at 8 models. Hopefully I can find that blue face model soon.

Just hoping that 8 of the same model doesn't make me look like a crazy person

LB75...you're not crazy. This guy's photo is legendary among watch collectors...he's got "a few silver dialed" watches. You can click on the photo to read about his collection.

Wow, that is incredible! I showed it to my wife and she gave me the "Don't even THINK about it" look. :-d

Very nice, I absolutely love this line. I just received this one on Friday, and waiting on the Green face/Green silicone strap to arrive from the UK, probably on Tuesday.

I love Timexes. When I get the watch itch, I can get a neat watch for between 3-7 hours of my paycheck, which is awesome. I just picked this up today after reading through a few pages of this thread:

Expedition Military Field watch. Brown face, thick comfy brown leather band. Retails for $64.95, got it for $52 at Kohl's 25% off. Hard to believe this is a $50 watch. Full lume on hands, markers, and numerals. Indiglo backlight, quick date setting, perfect case size, it's just great.

Update: something annoying. The second hand hits about 15/60 markers. I know it's a minor thing, but it's annoying.

Lume only lasts a few minutes, but not shocking.

Leather band is very comfortable.

Looks really nice! Great photos!

I was thinking of buying one myself as well. Do you know if it comes in black?

Found a link, but I don't know if it real or not..?

Vintage 1980 Automatic non-quickset date on a weekender NATO. $30 on EBay. It is not only more accurate than my Seiko SKX009, it also has a longer power reserve. I'm positive the movement has never been serviced, as the rotor is about as loud as a vibrating cell phone.

Looks legit but I've never seen that model before. They do make a stainless cased black face chronograph model on a bracelet that just came out recently.If you're interested, send me a pm.
