AVOID These Watches IF You Value Your Money 

Same here, I waited a while and picked it up at $500.

@@outcastkatsuki same thing happened with the stunning and surprisingly decently priced Seiko Alpinist Ginza Edition. It sold out within one week or so and now is very much sought after on the secondary market going for at least 1600 € (MSRP was 750 €). I don‘t remember the exact number it was limited to, but I think it was around 3000.

Yeah that watch is crazy overhated by casio snobs😂

What makes it better?

@@MrOceanusI prefer the bracelet on the PRX, the screen, the backlight and the feel on the wrist due to the size/weight. But I know £205 is still about 4 or 5 times the price of an A168 in the UK. And for 50 quid the A168 is brilliant.

Hopefully they'd honour a movement issue if something did go wrong. But it's certainly not STATED clearly in the TOS. I think the used market is a better place to buy an IFL if you wanted one

🤣🤣

Good to hear you're enjoying the SKXMOD kit. They're awesome!

I appreciate that!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

No, no, I agree. Absolute bargain if you can pick one up for £250.

Yep! Clearly we think alike on most of these watches then. Good to hear your alternatives too!

I disagree. They're still for sale now, almost a year later... That's not limited edition, that's too many made. I get that Seiko is a large brand and therefore has large demand, but 15,000 is not limited by any means.

Do you know what the micro brand watch is that's shown at 1:08?

@@AH-yu2pi Hello, I believe that watch is a Straton Speciale. You can find them at The Straton Watch Company. Kind regards.

@@rikdriscoll2160 Thanks. I really appreciate it. On a side note, I checked the price. I'm poorer than I thought, considering the theme (inexpensive microbrands). 😞

@@gyrfalcon7332 I bought 5 Timex watches over the last 2 years and all of them met or exceeded my expectations. Cool and very distinct designs, adequately or even well made for the price, quality movements from Seiko and Citizen/Miyota inside, no issues with QC or the straps. Prices ranged from 169 to 337 €, taxes and rapid shipping included. This is more than fair. On the other hand I do not doubt that you can get real crap from Timex. But you should not generalize. Just do better research before pulling the trigger (e.g. dimensions can be known beforehand).

I haven't yet seen that Timex ad, I'll check it out now. Sounds dodgy! Appreciate you watching, cheers!

@@TopTierTicker , it was a National Lampoon or Saturday Night Liveparody after the SLA shooting in LA. But it mimicked multiple ads Timex had run showing the watches could survive anything. All the terrorists were killed but one the woman’s watches kept ticking.

I will never ever get on board with replica watches. It's an illegal industry. All credibility goes out of the window with this argument. Art is art. People are people. Pretending otherwise is silly. We get attached to stories and personalities. That's the world mate. Van Gogh is a legend for a reason.

Replicas are for posers. And losers.

It's the new 2024 Straton Speciale. Check out my recent 'these chronograph look super expensive' video to see the full review

@@TopTierTicker Thanks

Funny how a lot of the 60s Timex's are still going strong though? Whilst also looking absolutely fabulous. I don't think we should be giving credit to a watch brand for not creating disposable watches, that's a given in modern watchmaking. I appreciate your opinion, but I'll have to disagree

@@TopTierTicker That's not the issue. You claim that the Timex watches from the 50's and 60's were of a higher quality than today's which is false. Yes, a few are still working, but the majority aren't. Today's Timex watches use rubies and can be serviced.

This would be an appropriate comment if I was judging the quality of watches without trying them, but that's not the case. I talk about the issues around them. And if I ever diss the quality, that's from experience only. Seiko L/E = not limited IFL = Questionable warranty Digital PRX = Ugly I talk about watches I handle the majority of the time. There's nothing wrong with having a discussion about brands/issues that don't need physical experience, like warranty issues for example.

@@TopTierTicker I have made this mistake before: Offering advice that is not being asked for. I still stand by it, and like I said, I love your voice and perspective in watches and wish you continued success. I'll belabor the point one more time in the hopes that you can see how you are compromising your own value. In this vid, the points you are making are misinformed. You are judging Seiko's marketing? Here's the thing, if you like a particular Seiko model and are comfortable with the price, you should get it, regardless of if there are 15,000 of them or 500. Don't hate on Seiko for operating at high volumes. Why should you avoid a limited edition simply because there are a lot of them? It doesn't make sense and is needlessly negative. It's an interesting point, but not a reason to avoid a watch. Only if you are a flipper would this really matter to you because you might think you are buying something that will go up in value due to scarcity. If you like it, who cares how they market it. Regarding IFL - you are talking sh*t on a company you haven't even dealt with. They may be in fact generous with their warranty, but you don't know. It's highly responsible of them to offer a warranty at all! This is a real business and for you to call them into question like that leans more towards defamation than consumer advice. Did you hear from any upset customers? Did you reach out to the company to discuss the warranty? And as for the PRX, you think it's ugly from online photos, and yeah, they made an expensive Casio, but you are in the position to buy the thing, wear it, and see if there is more to the watch. It's an odd argument to make to say "i think this is ugly, you should too, and if you don't, you don't value your money." // I'm sorry these comments are hitting like trolling. I just see you taking a turn that feels like pandering for views and clicks, and I don't think that's what you are about at your core.

1950s-early 70s was the timex best decades

I agree.

Me too 😊

You can still love it man! I'm not bashing the watch itself! Just it's 'limited edition' title.
