Use your cellphone as a watch.

[MBZ] ***SPAM*** OT: Aluminum Watch

2022-03-19 Thread greg via Mercedes
I have a nice titanium eco-drive chronograph that needs a new movement
that has been waiting for me to get it done. In the meantime, I have been
wearing a nice titanium Invicta quartz chrono. Unfortunately, the crown
pulled out completely during the time change, and I am unable to set the
time. Now I have 2 nice watches needing repair.

Also, apparently I am no longer active enough to keep a self-winder going.

So I needed a cheap beater watch to tide me over while these are sent out
for repair. I came across a Timex MK1 military style quartz chrono on
Amazon for $62. It has an aluminum case. I think there was a time when
aluminum was a fairly exotic material and some watch cases were aluminum,
but they tended to wear out quickly. I like the light weight.

It looked pretty nice for $62, but it was not "Prime". But I noticed there
was one "used" for $38, and that WAS prime. The description stated that
there was damage to the NATO band; but I have a few so was not concerned.

It arrived yesterday, and (as has happened several times before) I was
unable to locate the alleged damage. Pretty nice watch!
