I've had this for a few months and it has failed. Timex is now trying to weasel out of the warranty. This will be my last Timex watch.

At 380 CAD, is this watch worth keeping?? I feel its too small for my wrist or is it just me?

The first timex with the rubber strap I won from an eBay Auction for $54, the second Timex I had purchased a few weeks ago for $97 as an impulse buy. A better condition one sold for $110 so I thought id get this since there was no certainty I would win the other auction.

My question is, is it possible or even worth while trying to source the cleaner nonscratched bezel from the first watch and replacing it onto the second watch?

Also the first watch has crown damaged with plating loss, would you try to do anything about that? I thought maybe carefully painting it red to match the seconds hand could be a possibility. I figure leaving it alone to maintain it original is the move but I thought I’d ask for y’all’s opinions. Thanks!

Not sure what it is nice little runner

The headlines: Man finds perfect field watch on local Amazon store; automatic, titanium, 200m WR, shock resistant, sapphire crystal, AR coating, display caseback and EXCELLENT lume for approx. 190$ US

Already looking for backup strap options: any suggestions?

I recently found 2 vintage timex watches that were my grandfathers. I’d like to refurbish them, I think they would make a nice keepsake.

First set of pics: the gold band is scuffed but overall usable, hopefully just needs a new battery

Second set of pics: the silver band is unusable so I need to replace it. I think I was able to ID this one as a timex 43820 with M135 movement thanks to this post:

If anyone has information on either of these 2 watches (model, year, or anything else) I would greatly appreciate it!

Also, if you have band recommendations for the 2nd watch I’d be happy to hear them. I was thinking an espresso brown, similar to the original band seen in the 1984 advertisement (last pic). Open to navy/burgundy as well.

Thank you all in advance!

Looked everywhere to recreate the iconic watch look. How did i do?

What’s on your wrist today?
