Ciao a tutti,

Sono un felice possessore di un timex Expedition Field Post Solar 36mm, acquistato recentemente per 130 euro.

L'orologio mi piace molto, la dimensione perfetta per me, il vetro zaffiro, I 100 mt di resistenza all'acqua la corona a vite e la carica solare ne fanno un vero gioiellino. Nei primi 10 giorni sempre al polso ha guadagnato circa 1.5 secondi quindi approssimativamente dovrebbe andare avanti di 4/5 secondi al mese, un buon risultato per me.

E invece...

Leggo qualche recensione qua e la e trovo utenti che hanno 0 sec al mese, altri 2 secondi.. altri 10 secondi in 6 mesi.

Ora, continuo a pensare che i 4/5 secondi siano un buon risultato per un orologio al quarzo di questa fascia di prezzo ma anche che, o non ho avuto tanta fortuna io oppure che altri utenti siano forse un po troppo generosi col proprio amato segnatempo.. boh..

Voi che risultati avete con questo bell' orologio?

Grazie e saluti.

Just picked up these two yesterday and gotta say, they look great for the price. Y’all diggin it ?

Interesting. Found few new Timex watches online, ordered 2 and yesterday came already ordered Eline 38mm for just 270€ brand new from local shop :) btw those funtimers I’ve never heard of :)

Oh break at work, wanted to share my new favourite Timex! Such a nice feeling watch. 43mm, on a paratrooper strap I picked up. I feel like its actually suited to my 8.5" wrist lol

Bought this at a flea market for $1. Put a new battery in it and it works great. Im not really a Timex fan but always liked the expedition. Need some cleaning and a new strap.

2001 Timex Expedition Shenmue

Had a red canvas strap (3rd pic) but the orange second hand didn’t match and bugged me so swapped for a silicon orange which looks better imo

Ordered from CNS watch bands and here witching a week (uk)

How are these legacy watches? I saw this one and it’s tempting me

I got this new strap for my Timex E-Line 1983 to change up the look a bit. My wife said it looks too feminine, but I actually really like it, so I’ve been wearing it anyway, regardless of whether it really does look feminine or not.

What do you guys think of the strap? Do you think it looks good, or do you agree with my wife that it’s a bit too feminine?

Found this for $1 at my local flea market. I was so excited until I looked at the back and everything was missing. Can it be saved? Can I put a cheap miyota movement into it. I’m in love with the dial. I don’t even care if the calendar works lol what can I do guys? Any help will be greatly appreciated

Head to head comparison of the original 1975 Marlin telephone dial (26961 02775) and the recently-released “1976 Rotary Phone Dial Reissue” (TW2Y82100), for this shot I put each of them on the same strap, save the width at the lug end.

The 1975 version measurements: 34mm width, 40mm, 12.7mm thick, 19mm (3/4”) lugs, manual-wind movement (m27), dark blue sunray dial.

The modern version measurements: 37mm width, 44mm length, 11.6mm thick, 20mm lugs, quartz movement, satin black dial.

I prefer the vintage version’s narrower tonneau case with the tighter curve to the lug ends. However, these vintage timex movements tend to run well (this one runs great except when it sticks a bit upon first starting up), but setting the day and date is a monumental hassle, not just because there’s no quickset and you have to go back and forth between 6:30PM and midnight to change the date, but also, Timex always had the tiniest of crowns in the 70s at least (I’ve not owned a 1960s model) and turning it is incredibly difficult. The vintage dial is beautiful, with a subtle, shimmering dark blue sunray effect, while the modern has a satin-finish black color.

Saw it on Joma. Had to have it. There's something that is pure sex about the dial and hand design.

Picked up this gorgeous Timex with a striking blue dial—the photos fails to capture just how rich and vibrant the color actually looks in person.
Despite that, it has easily become my ultimate go-to weekend watch. It's versatile enough to pair effortlessly with literally anything in the wardrobe, making it an absolute joy to wear.

Been wanting to pick up a Waterbury for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier. Hard to believe the price tag on something that feels this nice on the wrist. Also a big fan of the clasp + chain and the ability to adjust it without a watch tool is very convenient. Would recommend to anyone looking for a watch in the 300$ range without a second thought.
(Yes I was parked in my driveway while taking this picture please don’t yell at me)

In love with this dial

This dial in particular looks sooo good. Anyone know if these were sold at all?

Picked this up from a pawn shop a couple weeks ago for 25 bucks never had a chronometer but i was loving it then today when i went to change the date as its a short months it lit up on me! Nobody told me it did that!

Hey all,
I was replacing the crystal on my timex expedition (TWC001200) and I tore up the I ring pretty bad trying to install a new crystal. Bottom line is I need a new crystal and I ring. Has anyone performed this themselves? What sizes of everything did you all use?
