Such a beautiful piece. Does it feel “premium” as compared to other Timex offerings?

Such a beautiful piece. Does it feel “premium” as compared to other Timex offerings?

Thanks man, well to be honest I don't have other Timex to compare. I would say in general it feels for the price it was asked (450€). The dial, indexes and slightly domed sapphire are just crazy at this price point, could be on a two time the price.

The case is really cool with its flanks and nicely made.

But the 9039 is really noisy and I suspect it to not wind correctly when I wear it (due to unidirectional wind maybe ?). Lume is a joke I would have prefered a more distinctive handset with no lume than this poorly luminous one. Finally and it's an objective opinion but as it is designed (dressy sport watch sold on rubber), 100m of WR should be a minimum.

Overall I still really really love this watch, it has a soul, a "thing" that makes you forgive the cons.
