Another Year of Watches
2024 was a year of changes in my collecting What a strange year it has been? A year I hoped would be a steady, leveling period to get caught up on many things in my life ended up getting a little Topsy-turvey. I procured fewer watches, which is good, but then the ones I did…

Timex Allied Coastline
A Crossover in the Archive Era It took a while for the Allied Coastline (AC) to grow on me. At first contact is seemed strange. I was mostly interested in 38mm and 40mm Timex lines and the Coastline was 43mm and I was having trouble seeing where it fit in with the Mk1s, Allieds and…

Rubber Strap Study
Reflections on finding that just right match I expected to move on to other things besides my new Timex Deepwater Reef, but it presents an opportunity to talk about one of my favorite things; watch straps. Like many of you, I have more straps than I do watches. If you want to do different things…

Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm Hands On
That didn’t take long No sooner had I finished my first draft post on the Reef 41mm diver, when I went and ordered two. I suppose that was a good idea since Timex was out of stock in less than a week on all styles. It was a bit compulsive for me, but I really…

For this new Timex release I just stumbled onto this morning, I had to get out a lot of built-up contemplation. I never really wanted to write watch…

Timex Allied LT
Vintage military twist on the Scout I’ve been holding back on posting about the Allied LT series. At first I was trying to get a grip on the basic Allied line up as well as the more limited Archive Allied group so didn’t want to muddle things even more. Now that the dust has settled…

Timex Archive Acadia
The Plastic Case Alternative Time to get writing again as well as back on the topic of Timex. Its been a busy summer, particularly August, so I have not been starting enough new posts! I have been thinking a lot about Timex watches recently as you might have noticed in my last post, but also…

Why Timex and other Miscellaneous Ramblings
What is a Cheap Watch? In the pursuit of stocking my eclectic watch collections I keep trying to categorize the watch universe and figure out where I place myself in it. Why do I collect the watches that I collect? Also, because our society is so politically charged now, I wonder where watches line up…

30 Year of Eddie Bauer Watches Part 3
The Interesting Finds Keep Coming Here we go again. Since my last nerdy post on Eddie Bauer watches a while back, Part 2, more have found their way to me. I am trying to reduce the rate of of watch purchases and number of watches coming in. But as an afflicted collector, there is always…
