Timex Q
Saw this on Hodinkee a few minutes ago.
I think it's rather cool. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/q-timex 1:1 remake of the original back in 1979. What do you guys think? |

I don’t know, I have no relationship to Timex. Odd though that they use a Seiko movement

Interesting piece! For only $179, I just ordered one. :D
I'll post up some pictures when it arrives. |

I just thought it was a really cool piece. Something about it catches my eye. I don't know if it's the 70s vibe or the mix of the GMT master / Royal Oak copy - but I like it. |

Oh shit, it is sold out now. Wonder how many are en route to members here.
Makes me happy I have zero impulse control. |

Bit strange to have bi-color on a 12 hour bezel. For a 24 hour one the colors represent day and night, but here there is not really any function.

Yep. As others have pointed out, they're Sold out.
Seeing as though they didn't last for more than a few hours - I wonder how many they made in total? |

They’re still in stock on the Canadian website. Definitely an interesting release

For those interested, here are some of the original models it’s based off of. Also, here’s a pricing fun fact. This watch was around $60 in 1979, so it’s tracked slightly less than inflation at $180 with the new version. The Pepsi GMT in 1979 was $795...and now costs $9250, if you can find one. lol

I have an old cheapctimex that looks like an iwc mark and I love it. Never had problems. Great cheap watch for students etc.

It's a really nice watch for the money and well worth a pick up. I like the domed crystal and the slightly yellow hour markers.
The bracelet is probably the worst part about the watch, as it can be quite uncomfortable. |

I wonder what the grey market will fetch for these things. Looks very nice.

Mine came today. It’s surprisingly solid. Most Timex watches Ive encountered have been really light and cheap feeling. This is sold and has a little heft to it.
The bracelet is, interesting. It’s solid, stiff and doesn’t bend easily. Overall I do like it though. I’ve found it to be pretty comfortable so far. Obligatory wrist shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Looking good fellas! How adjustable is the bracelet? I’m hoping my 7 year old daughter would be able to wear it with her tiny wrists

I ordered this Timex and a whim, and it's arriving tomorrow. I'm not usually a flipper, but, man, the next batch doesn't arrive until next fall, and these things are going for $400-$500 on eBay, so I'm really tempted to list it...but it looks so cool that I'll probably just keep it.

mine arrived on sat.
keeping it -- not really worth the trouble to sell for a $300 profit. -- plus i'm hoping that this makes it possible to wait for the pepsi GMT that might one day come. I'll post two shots -- one of the lume. 00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190525133929118_COVER.jpg 00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190525135710710_COVER.jpg |
