This was my first watch that was more than a timex twist ‘n pull or a Walmart/kmart special. I bought it while in residency 11 years ago image.jpgI have built fence, cut wood, and hammered it thoroughly. It’s been from Alaska to Africa and Mexico to Croatia. It keeps great time but just doesn’t look pretty.
 
I wear a simple, cheap Timex Expedition North Solar on a NATO strap. Sorry, no pictures at this time. Best watch I could afford at the time on $16/hr, and to be frank I like it enough that I don't care to buy anything else.
A Timex Weekender is enough watch for anyone. Sometimes the price doesn’t equate to how valuable of a tool it is.

Timex is putting out some legit “value” watches. Even some models with automatic movements. Don’t underestmate them for a daily desk driver. Will it last a lifetime and be passed down a generation? Eh, no. Not the point.
 
The Tag Heuer Formula 1 with a Para Elastic strap by Monstraps. This is the watch that started my collection. It’s a quartz movement. I just recently had the battery changed and pressure tested to get it back into the rotation.

I’ve been thinking a lot about time lately. I had one of those milestone birthdays last year.

Marathon GSAR 41mm. 40th b-day gift from the wife. I remember my father and his buddies wearing watches with steel bracelets and thinking that’s what a man wears.
