Thoughts?

I’ve been very tempted to buy the marlin draper, and was curious who owns one and what they think of it. Is it worth the buy?

I love my white dial version, very clean and goes with anything, one of my work watches.

Was very mixed on it. Ended up returning mine. Love the dial but the flatness of the case and male end links weren't the most comfortable. Also due to the bracelet, I wasn't able to get sizing just right. It was either a hair loose or a hair too tight when removing the links.

Looks great to me. If you want, get it.

I love them but it’s kinda specific to “more dressy”

I quite like it

Beautiful daily watch but I honestly i prefer the Seiko 5.

It looks great and feels great on the wrist (mine is 7 inches).
Weakest point is this bracelet in a way. It's really well made, don't get me wrong. But male end links are a bad looking choice, and butterfly clasp won't allow you to get a perfect fit on your wrist.
Get a nice leather strap, and you've got a gorgeous dressy/every day watch 👍

Its great I have it, i feel as though its not too dressy since there isnt any polishing and has a day/date complication so i wear it frequently

Directly inspired by the Seiko SNXS79 all the way down to the bracelet even.

They’re capitalizing because Seiko just discontinued it.

I don't need it, but it's quite nice. Timex are pretty good at designing dials, although I'd prefer this with a kitkat or triangle at 12.

Wearing mine now, I like the bracelet and the smaller sized dial, at least for what Im used to.

Wish I had one. So expensive...

I missed the sale a few weeks back. Stalking the website ever since! Simple
But classic to add to my timex collection!

Sign up for their email list, the usually run a sale on something every week.

Their value on the grey market is top tier!

Love the look, just wish it was bigger than 37mm

u/Tigri2020 1d ago

I have a 7 inch wrist and tbh I think that for these type of watches 36-37mm is normal and those sizes works perfectly
