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.
yeah they made the switch from the bold claim of being water proof to the lamer water resistant later in the 60s. that radium lume still holds its charge. tho not for very long lol.
