Tip if you’re hunting for Seiko models on eBay. Some sellers will not research the model # and post listings with only the movement caliber since it’s on the case back. Eventually some pawnshop or casual collector will post a blue alpinist as a Seiko 6r15 with a lower than market buy it now. I got a Black Bullet SKX with the original president style bracelet last week for about half the market price. It was listed as just a 7s26. I’ve also got underpriced flightmasters, giugiaros, and SARG009/11s listed by the movements.

BACK IN STOCK!! I just got one 179

@gwimmer98 5 лет назад

Yeah. It looks nice but for a quarz Timex I think 150$ would be the limit. Also, although it has a very cool vibe to it, when you already own the Seiko SKX009, there is no real need for another pepsi in the same price range.

@panorama4526 5 лет назад

There is no real need for your comment, too. Do you really think people will buy this watch because it's worth the money, or because it's displaying time?! Don't buy one, the earlier i'll get mine...

@I-Libertine 5 лет назад

"Timex just figured 'why not'?" Wrong. Timex just figured 'we've got a trove of excellent designs, why aren't we capitalizing on this brand of ours?' Timex is starting to get it right. The Marlin is lovely and remarkably true to its roots. The Q hits the spot, too, with the same respect for its origins. If some 'collectors' want to freak about this as a limited edition (a la Alpinist), let em. But I'd say don't slag on Timex: they're getting it right - - at long last. And at the current rate, I would bet it is only going to get better.

@tirrelldaveport3671 5 лет назад

Thank you! People are showing their snobbish sides. But let seiko drop a "limited" piece soon... fanboys would go nuts. And if people are buying the escalated prices on Ebay, why are people calling them stupid? It's kind of ridiculous

@blairdrummond5043 3 года назад

I actually have the original 1979 version of this watch, the lume has fallen out of the hour hand, but other than that, it’s great, the second hand actually ticks 3 times per second on old quartz Timex watches, which is way cooler than once per second. It’s chrome plated brass instead of the newer stainless steel, but I think it’s pretty cool

@daymondtalley9500 5 лет назад

Got mine in the mail yesterday. Looks great. Timex hit it out the park with this one. Nice beater to throw on this summer. I agree don’t pay a penny more than the $179

Bro, you realize these are selling for like $500 now?? These Timex are totally unique, they are more coveted than a stupid fucking Rolex.

@dennismaxfield4936 5 лет назад

I just saw a article in my local newspaper that time is producing a watch that the case and leather band will be American made but the quartz movement will be Swiss. Price is over $500. I live 15 min from timex headquarters in middlebury ct. A couple years ago they produced a Waterbury ct line of watches I would of bought but I hate quartz movements. My daily watch and pretty much only except for a cheap fitness tracker is a 1963 seamaster on a Beads of rice band.

@nevahenuf 5 лет назад

This watch is actually notable because it’s one few Timex watches with a stainless steel case. Even their American Documents watches had brass on the case back and crown making it a no-go for sensitive skin.

@cheetahshine4525 5 лет назад

Don't know if I'm feeling the q timex all that much. Obviously a rolex gmt Pepsi homoge but not a gmt. Timex had some really nice looking pieces from the 70s, wish they'd reissue and modernize more

@nevahenuf 5 лет назад

The bezel does actually function as a poor mans gmt because it’s 12 hour unlike other watches that shoehorn on a 24 hour bezel with no 4th hand.

@delphi-moochymaker62 5 лет назад

With a standard common quartz movement, acrylic crystal, and lackluster stainless steel case, the cost for Timex to make these is probably $25. $179 for a watch with no brand cachet is ridiculous. You can buy an Orient automatic with an in house movement for less.

@Boswd 5 лет назад

It's not a limited edition it's a reissue like they did with the marlin and many other reissues with Todd Snyder. I would highly doubt Hodinkee will be one of the retailers, they might but I doubt it, they seem to only sell mechanicals and I think the cheapest watch is $600. I would say Todd Snyder.com , Mr. Porter and possibly Nordstrom would be my guess and yes i would pay $180 for this :)

I don't think it's an LE. Bit like the 34mm marlin when that first came out, sold out fast but now they are in stock everywhere.

@CrimFerret 5 лет назад

It's moot for me. 38mm is flat out too small for even a dress watch on my wrist. This would just look ridiculous. I don't dislike Timex. A Timex manual wind was my first watch long ago (I wish I still had that one). I think this is too expensive for what it is. The bracelet is neat though.

@Cysubtor_8vb 5 лет назад

I like it, but I also like 12hr bezel watches and have been considering their Navi Harbor watch. Their site is generally MRSP, so when it does hit regular retailers it likely be closer to $100 (possibly a bit under that as a lot of their stuff have a noticeable drop in price sometimes), so I'll probably be keeping an eye out for one. Will definitely not be buying one for higher than $179 as I'd mod a Seiko before I'd do that even if I am trying to add more American brands to my collection.

@@thetimeteller LOL, well, I decided not to get the Blue Alpinist, had it in my cart, and decided a $300 watch was not worth the additional $300 hype tax. So, I'm not really one of the people sad or mad about missing out on that watch. I chose not to get it. My point in the post was, if you don't buy into the hype and are sick of special editions, then why would you get the Blue Alpininst to begin with? Serious question, not picking a fight. You posted about how frustrated it was that you were not able to get one, then because a fan sold you one at retail, you bought it. But isn't that feeding into the hype train by getting one? Either way, have a great day, look forward to more of your videos!
