Nice job and thanks for sharing! It is nice to see the watch in the metal instead of just the image on the website. It looks much more muscular than I thought it would. The dial color and the hidden gem of the blue on the inside of the strap look great. Would’ve loved to hear you mention the dimension and maybe show how it looks on your wrist and perhaps show us the Chronograph in action. But maybe another time. But overall thanks so much for sharing and I look forward to more reviews! keep up the good work.

Thanks Speedy.  Yeah, it was a spur of the moment thing, nothing planned out or scripted.  I like to do things as easy as possible.  I'll definitely do a wrist shot, but not sure if I want to be a specs guy, but will try and leave my comfort zone for the Crunches and Timex fans.  lol  I welcome all advice, as long as my lazy nature can handle it.  lol

I understand not wanting to be a specs guy!

Nice work. Been thinking about one of these and been waiting to see some reviews. The renders don't do it justice. 

·

Awesome! Very IWC feel to it…Great job you should do more of these reviews!! 

·

Great looking watch TimexBadger,nice YouTube video . Love me a Timex and love the pilot watch so this is a big winner for me.

·

Thank you for taking the time to do this! 

I just need Timex to do them in a slightly smaller size so I can pretend to be classy cabin crew 🥳

Decent review Steve. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Man!! Not sure, I was just excited with my unexpected delivery today, I needed to share with those that understand this hobby.  lol.  Time will tell.

lol.  I am currently walking around my house with a Pan Am watch and hat on and my wife is calling for help.  lol.  Not really a hat, but the watch is making me feel like I'm part of this magical era!

Ill sub anyway 🙃

Really good for your first try. And honestly, if I didn't have two good, usable chronograph watches, I'd be looking for one of these!

Great to see your smiling face brother and hear your voice 👏

I think you did a great job for your first YouTube review, I personally hate all the special effects and the BS most of them carry on with.

Nice Timex score and you were definitely lucky to get one, they sold out fast. Wear it in good health Steve and thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

Thanks Tony!  Yeah, I logged on to Timex one night after work, a minute past midnight and saw they were released.  I pulled the trigger and in the morning they were all gone.  I knew they would go fast but I didn't think they would go that fast.  I didn't think it would arrive today, so I had to share.

Thanks for the comments everyone and for watching my very first Timex video (I can't really call it a review).  However, if I do do another one, being an amateur magician, I might even combine a fast magic trick along with another important watch reveal I will be getting soon.  Don't want to spill the beans, but the brand name starts with T and ends with X.  Stay tuned.

P.S.  I forgot to mention the crown has a Pan Am logo on it too!

Love the video, bud! Congrats on the new member of your collection. It's really cool. 🍻

·

I love the video, and many thanks for your review. Just as @Speedy77 mentioned, just a few tweaks for the next one. (Which I am looking forward to seeing soon!).

Sadly, the watch is more a marketing placement than an actual homage to Pan Am. It is big, it looks a bit clunky, and the oversized Pan Am rivets just make it look worse. 

It is a lost opportunity for TIMEX to have made a true Pan Am timepiece. @roberto posted what it actually looked like. Instead, TIMEX issued an IWC-esque watch with logos placed on it. 😕

Sorry for my rant, but the watch frustrated me. My expectations were too high, perhaps. Please, keep posting your reviews.

Thanks Man, i'll try again, but not really a review guy, I think it seemed more like an SNL skit.  lol.  The bottom line is I'm so easy to please, as long as it says Timex I love it.  So my bias will prevent me from probably doing a real review.  lol.  I have a special watch coming soon, when it does I may try my hand at showing the watch on video.  Should be interesting.  : )

Awesome NY representing! Great Timex review that Pan Am looks really nice.

Man it looks so much better in the video. I was on the fence and then they sold out. The strap is Killer!
