if you would have told me a year ago that I would lust  after a 38mm Quartz, and then pay £159 for it. I would have told you to fuck right off...

This is an absolutely fantastic little watch though and all quartz haters can go and do one :)

It's stunning, really well designed. Or redesigned. Or reimagined. Or whatever it may be.

Shame it ticks though. Can you throw a mechanical movement in?

I really want one and have been wandering the web after one - only place to get one is on the bay and they are way overpriced there - any idea when they are coming back ?

They were literally in stock earlier today on the US website - there was another thread about it. Maybe see if they're still there and use a shipping service (website will only deliver to Conus).

@Foxindebox one picture?

I am waiting on mine and you post one picture?  How are you supposed to adequately run in the fact that you have one and I don't when you post ONE picture?

I've also signed up for the alert on the UK website. Cracking watch.

Really impressed the way Timex are doing faithful reissues of the originals and especially not falling for the temptation to increase the case diameter by a couple of mm. Looks perfect in this size.

People forget that in the end that’s what it’s all about. 

Think @NCRich might want a few more pics though?! :D

Never thought I'd see the day when people were posting positively about a Quartz watch, let alone a Timex!! :rofl: 

Nice looking retro watch though, and ticking seconds never bothered me for a second, ahem..... :D

The pony express to California must be running a little slow. Mine show as shipped but I have no tracking number. Waiting for the Q vintage aging tutorial @NCRich :)

I really want to pick one of these up but I wish the dial had some more depth such as thicker lume or applied indexes. Its not enough of an issue to prevent me from ordering one eventually though.
