MORE MONEY FOR EVERYONE by buying a good watch and not a Timex POS that dies every 3-5 years and needs replacing! How about buying something quality that lasts a long time and not a Timex?
No perhaps I won't pass it down to the next generation of Timex wearers, but this watch is now over ten years old. The indiglo doesn't work anymore since I replaced the battery and lost the gas trapped inside. Oh well to each his own.

I get compliments on it all the time. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

I'll let you know when it finally gives up and dies. Perhaps I'll take a picture of it next my Porsche and post it.
