I got a Timex Expedition today. My Timex Wrap Around nylon/velcro band arrived and worked out great with my existing watch until I noticed that the battery needed changing and I broke the watch doing that :)
The Expedition came with a similar band but it had metal buckles at the end and I didn't like the way they worked. This watch isn't quite as big as the Timex Helix (DM) dive watch that I had but it's decent and the "indiglow" night illumination feature works quite well.
At least I've now found the perfect watch band for me.
Sure... Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I have a few more watches than this, but these are the ones I wear most often.
Seiko 55 fathoms, 7S36 automatic
Android divemaster espionage
Citizen aqualand, titanium
Invicta Leviathan, Ronda 5040 chronograph
Invicta russian diver, Ronda quartz
Invicta pro diver, NH25A automatic, modded with Seiko hands. This is the watch I am wearing as I type. I have heard the newer ones come with the NH35A movement.
Marinia militare 47mm, sea-gull ST25 automatic
Swiss Legend conqueror, ISA quartz
Timex indiglo
Casio Marlin
Stuhrling Original, DG 2813 automatic
Seiko Frankenmonster, 7S36 automatic
Invicta Corduba, ISA quartz
Android TransOcean 52, Miyota 8215 automatic
Invicta pro diver, I forget the model number on this one.
Invicta pro diver 5017, one on rubber strap the other with OEM bracelet
Citizen Orca
Invicta Pro diver, miyota 8215 automatic
Invicta SANIII, ETA G10 chrono
Invicta S1 rally, tri-Chrono, Citizen OS-20 (one of my fave chrono movements)
Croton miyota 8205 automatic, I like this watch because the dial color matches Surefire type-III olive gray
I am not sure about water resistance. I have splashed it lightly, but I have never submerged it. I took the caseback off to clean out some dust and the gasket makes a nice tight seal. But I didn't pull the crown so I have no idea how well the stem is sealed. I also am not sure how well sealed the front and back crystals are.
one thing you could do is open it up, pull the crown + movement. Set the movement aside and case it back up. Dunk it and see if moisture gets inside. I have done this on a couple of my Invictas.
Yeah its a serviceable blade. I pack carry it, too big to EDC IMHO. Good ergonomics for a medium sized hand. Its a hollow grind with a chisel edge though, a lot of people don't like chisel grinds.
Seeing how many expensive watches are put on display here. But then again it is Budget Light Forum so here goes.
My current Casio G-Shock. I never cared for the model number. Just the accurate time and many time zones and alarms + I need the stopwatch for my work.
I have had about 4 of these. Great watches for what they do and are. This one is 1 year old but you can see it is already beat up pretty bad. That is why I buy them. I live a hard life and so does the watches ;-)
You know its so CRAZY, when I post up pics of my collection on the 2-3 watch forms I participate its ALWAYS that Timex that everyone wants to know about. Its just so different looking, without being overboard or garish (as admittedly many of my watches can be.. LOL). Kind of a PAM cushion case... but not really. I wish I could tell you, but theres no model number anywhere on it. I bought it used from another forum, and my understanding is its a EU model only. Its 10ATM with a snap in caseback.
I have been meaning to put on a black 24mm leather NATO... just havent gotten around to it.
Those are actually kind of cool…. durability, accuracy, worry-free quartz + the flair of a mechanical balance wheel and automatic wind rotor to drive the seconds complication.
