as an older noob to actual building a watch collection on a real low budget, i have to say that over the years there have been alot of resin watch cases produced.. the first timex one with a resin case was the745 v9 i have owned..and still have..needs work but it is going back on my wrist..best everyday use watch i have owned..and believe me im hard on a daily driver..this..takes a licking and keeps on ticking..lol

Ihave a Marlin from the early 70's with the m24 movement.. and of course it needs to be fully serviced..its had alot of drawer time , problem is finding a watchmaker who will service it... ..have always liked the marlin..not the case but that champagne dial and the hearing of that tic, just makes me smile and recall the days of my youth...
