Timex Tuesday!

For Timex Tuesday, I'm wearing my circa 1963 Timex Electric.

Beautiful. There's something about a mid-century Timex that's so classic. 👍🏽

Completely agree! Vintage Timex is a favorite of mine to collect, partly because they are (mostly) inexpensive. It's so easy to end up with way too many. 😂

Some of my favorite, most worn pieces are Timex. Like the MK1 chronograph, the Expedition Scout, the Waterbury Neon, and the South Street Sport. I just picked up a Marlin reissue and I'm in love. 😍 I think the champagne Marlin might have the most beautiful dial in all of watchdom.

Rare to see. Love it

I absolutely love vintage Timex watches, there is something classy about their simple uncluttered dials and old-skool smaller dimensions.

I have a couple from the 70s now, but my grail is an early 60s model to match my birth year of 62. I know Timex didn't put date codes on the dials before 63, but you can still match them up from images in old catalogues 🤓

You can also use the ink date stamp on the inside of the case back. That's how I was able to date my 1955, 1957, and 1958 Timex.

Yeah, thanks Matt. I was pondering over one a few weeks ago. Advertised as 62 but it had a gold case (not my colour), but it was tempting. Until I got a photo of the ink stamp. Turned out it was a 63, so I'm still looking
