cvp3 2,103 Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Timex reissued their Marlin hand winder. I picked one up from Todd Snyder for $156 after coupons. This watch is already sold out worldwide and the prices have gone as high as $539 on eBay. I'm so smitten with this damned thing that I went out and bought 5 more vintage Timexes. What a hobby!

Difficult for them to go much lower and if they do, so what, you've not lost much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Left Coast Guy 24 Posted November 11, 2017 That's a pretty solid watch for the money! Glashute Senator vibe to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely can't argue with that logic. 55 minutes ago, Left Coast Guy said: That's a pretty solid watch for the money! Glashute Senator vibe to it Agreed. The Marlin was a WTH purchase. Then it arrived and I fell in love. It's absolutely the smallest watch I've ever worn but has more presence than a 47mm Panaerai. Alright, that might be hyperbole, but it changed the way I thought about this style of watch. Edited November 11, 2017 by cvp3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cvp3 2,103 Posted January 29, 2018 Got this one recently. Electric, 1960's production and it works flawlessly, these damned vintage Timex watches really ruined the rep sport for me. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,103 Posted January 29, 2018 This is how you know you've got it bad. All working perfectly and all at least 48 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cvp3 2,103 Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) I have 3 watch-smiths that I follow on eBay. I try to catch them as they list and play let's make a deal. Just bought 7 from one of them in Canada. One was a vintage Marlin for $40 that is easily worth $125. I'll put a new strap on it and put into the rotation. Best part of buying from these 3 sellers is they all service the watches they sell.

WatchDog21 3,345 Posted February 6, 2018 Is that one Timex the "Astrology" one and did you by chance get it from the bay? I was watching one just like it but missed out. I swear you are the one that must be snatching up the ones I am looking and bidding on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
