C'mon you know that ain't true, different color scheme, different handset, now it's part of the Waterbury lineup, different scaling of different text on the dial... There's plenty different whilst maintaining the "bringback" nature of the piece... Granted this isn't some grail watch or something, it's $220 without sapphire, and if we know Timex the bracelet will be leaving much to be desired. But all in all it's a nice piece that grabs your attention

Indeed, a really beautiful and interesting watch.

I saw this too and it's really nice looking. That off kilter date window might make me twitch but I would probably get used to it. The real problem for me is that $200 is half the price of about a dozen microbrand watches I have on my list.

I have the green dial pvd model. Looks-wise, I think it's just a knockout, and it's got 100m wr, indigo, and an innovative movement. Plus it measures to to 4h as opposed to the many 30m or 60m max chronos out there. On the down side, it's a loud ticker, and the battery life is annoyingly short.

There is something about seeing Timex and Flyback Chrono in the same sentence that makes me feel good about portions of the industry.💥

Yes, much much better. Original looked and felt cheap.
