I literally just picked this watch up within the past 2 weeks, and I'm simply not feeling it. It will come on the original damasko strap, not the strap pictured. Full kit watch, not a mark on it I'm open to lots of different things. Can trade up if need be.

great dimensions;
39mm
9.95mm thick
20mm lug width
48mm L2L
Uses damasko's A26-1 automatic, in-house movement
200 meters of WR
Screw down crown
Sapphire crystal
Exhibition case back
Submarine steal case is flawless
Drilled...

Ever buy a watch that's actually every bit as nice as you thought it was in pictures.... but you just don't enjoy wearing it? I can't put my finger on what's "off" about the watch, I just don't enjoy wearing it. Sucks even more because I had planned this as an everyday type watch.

I have a small collection of old Timex's I am going through. I see virtually every old timex online advertised as a Marlin, and that obviously cannot be true. How do I identify an actual Marlin?

I picked up this little Timex ironman triathlon at a yard sale. I replaced the battery, and it works. However, when I press the indiglo button, the screen goes blank for as moment. Is the indiglo funtion simply toast?

Selling my Stowa marine original. This has the manual winding movement, with a solid silver dial. Again, the dial is not white, it's silver. The watch is in beautiful condition. The stowa strap is in decent shape, with 1 added hole. The buckle is not Stowa branded. Includes a nato I received with the watch, but I never used it. Asking 950.00 shipped within the states.

WTS my Sinn 104. I picked this up not long ago in a trade, but I have the blue version, and I like that better. So this one can go. The warranty card is dated January 2016. It is in very good, used condition. Meaning there's nothing really worth noting, but there are small marks and such. The watch comes with 2 straps, but 1 buckle (that's how I received it). It comes with it's original Sinn strap which is well worn, and a new strap co. strap that has the Sinn buckle installed...
