I've been thinking about quartz recently, so this seemed appropriate

The trusty Timex is a good sidekick for whatever adventure comes your way today John!

Thanks, Tony. I'm not sure this is the adventure I was hoping for today. But so far so good.. we're still ticking 👍🏻

Quartz is underrated. I too lately have been thinking and enjoying a quartz movement.

Nice litte piece, is that a cork strap? How does it hold up?

I've only had the strap for about 2 months. I had to replace the buckle a couple of weeks ago. But the strap itself is doing okay. Not bad considering I only payed €9 at a gypsy market.

Nice piece ❤️

Simplistic beauty, John. That cork just looks like it should have standard issue, it works so well.

Glad to see it back on the cork, John. Your photos never disappoint. 👌

I love the strap combo with this watch. This is right on the money John. Well done.

Again another beautiful strap! Where do you find them?

Funny story. We were travelling through Portugal and we saw cork belts for sale everywhere (Portugal is a huge producer of cork) and I thought it would be great to have a cork strap. Try as I did, I couldn't find one anywhere.

About a month later, we were wandering around a gypsy market in Spain, when Mr's Y noticed a stall selling cheap watches with wooden cases and cork straps.

We asked if he sold the straps separately and before we knew it he had whisked a strap off one of his watches and said €15. My wife being my wife proceeded to haggle him down to €9.. and it suited the Weekender perfectly 🤓
