Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm Updates
They’re Baaack! I feel an obligation to post about the new versions of the Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm titanium models. There is a version with titanium bracelet and a nice looking orange version with bezel insert. You would be forgiven for being confused with these Timex offerings as there were some Deepwater Meridian models…

Mid-century Skin Divers
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. OK, I’ll admit I’m not sure what’s coming yet in this post. I needed to get writing. I have a running list of other topics, but this one keeps nagging me. I have posted on and around the topic of divers and vintage-inspired divers before,…

Caravelle Sea Hunter Reissue
That’s What I’m Talkin’ About! Fresh off reading a May 26, 2020 Hodinkee review of the carbon Doxa 300T LE written by James Stacey, I again consider the current regard for vintage divers in the watch enthusiast space.

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!

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.

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…

Timex xBespoke Post Viscount
Retro Reinterpretation Fun I have so many things to write about but have been doing everything but! So, I’m just going to start typing. This post is about another watch I never expected to see. A reinterpretation of the late ’70s to early 80’s Viscount. It has been a favorite of mine with its military-style…
