Hey Sir, this variation of the timex marlin has a larger case width at 40mm compared to the hand-wound at 34mm.

I rarely think of it when choosing a watch, but it’s a feature that I enjoy 

Our return to office schedule is Thursday and Friday. On Thursdays I wear my mechanical watches and on casual Fridays I wear my quartz watches. Mon-Wed we work from home so I could wear whatever I like, often changing what I wear in the middle of the day. 

I am a beginner and have a limited budget so I only buy watches under 1000$. I'd lie if I say the thought of buying a replica didn't cross my mind, but I always say I wouldn't fool anyone that what I'd have is an original. More importantly, I'd just be fooling myself. 

In the end, I take great enjoyment with watches that are within my means but I know of great value. 

On the other hand, I've seen reviews of how close the replicas are getting to the original and I understand the challenges with those who can afford retail but can't get a hand on one besides overpriced ones in grey market, I see your point why you'd consider buying a clone.

It was my 7th birthday and my dad asked me what gift I would like. I asked for a watch because I thought its fun and it was a time when I started losing interest in toys. We looked for something affordable and settled for a timex that can glow. I don’t have it anymore but recently bought something similar to it. Years later after he passed away, my mom handed me my father’s rado which led me to start collecting watches
