Bulova Marine Stars Old and New (6)
More Marine Star Contemplating I did it. I broke my own rules and went against some of my earlier positions. I got a new Bulova Marine Star. By new I mean not preowned, but from retailer. Still, it is not a new release. I got a Marine Star Series C with Precisionist movement; 96B431 with…

Timex Weekender Vintage
A Slice of the Big Weekender Pie Ten years ago, Timex was doing things differently. “Aren’t we all”, you might say?Well, yes. I suppose we all, even corporations, need to keep moving forward. I keep going back to the pre-COVID days because the watch market place was so different. Timex used to have fewer releases…

Timex Atelier Marine 1a
Intriguing upscale move. Why? Watches can be funny things. We love to discuss them. Its almost as if they exist more for the enthusiast community to talk about than to wear! One can look at a watch from so many different perspectives. Sometimes its technical, sometimes historical; could be emotional or the design details. We…

One Watch Collection?
How many watches is enough? I read an article by Zach Kazan on Worn & Wound, The Tudor Black Bay and the Myth of the One Watch Collection, October 9, 2025. In it he talked about the concept of having to choose just one of your watches if you could keep only one. It got…

Timex Diver and Diver-Like Survey Part 2: 1991-1995
Things Started to Get Weird I’ve been putting this off. This post is not so much the result of something I am excited about as it is an obligation. I feel like I need to continue to sort out in my mind the background watches from recent decades that have led to today’s Timex divers.…

Timex M79(s)
When a 38mm Q Reissue is not enough I couldn’t resist. Writing my last post got me thinking more about the 2019 Q reissue and its follow-on releases. Wow, what a lot to talk about! Starting in 2019, with pre-Covid fanfare, Timex began on a long journey of 38mm Q quartz releases in God-knows-how many…

Timex American Documents MadeWorn Collab
A Very Different American Documents Watch It is time to get back to one of my favorite topics: Timex. I am always wearing something from my Timex collection and thinking about Timex and trying to follow new releases. One thing I am not doing is acquiring as many Timex watches, either new or preowned. I…

Marine Star Glory Days Part 5
Some more great finds It’s been a strange summer so far. Non-watch projects have kept me away from writing about watches. I have been reading a lot about watches, as usual, but trying to buy fewer watches and even trying to sell a few! That has been harder than expected..I continue to work with my…

Seiko 5 Sample
Taking the Plunge (and hike) with Old and New I was writing more than one post at a time. Sometimes I start a post topic and get side tracked. Or research for one delays things, so I start another. I started reading about the Seiko 5 lines, both old and new, recently. As I read…

Nixon Scout & Friends
Can Watch Enthusiasts discuss Lifestyle Watches? With all the watch watching, researching, shopping I have done over the past ten years, I have still managed to miss Nixon. All of a sudden I saw a Nixon I liked, then was off on a tangent. I was never a skateboarder, a snowboarder or a surfer, but…
