commented on Thoughts on The New Timex Watch? ·

i prefer the modern automatics even if they have the noisy myota in them. i think someone at timex has an obsession with date windows. imho this piece would rock without one. i find the placement is often at odds with the dial design like it has to have one in a certain position but that was never factored into the design.

closest modern piece i have is a quartz nasa dial navi xl.
