I picked up this vintage Timex Electronic off a local auction website. Came out to roughly $35 in local currency. Not a steal by any stretch of the imagination, but I liked the look of it -- the dive bezel, the faded dial, the Speedmaster-esque hands, and the electro-mechanical movement. Case is chromed, but the lines are still super-sharp and it's not dinged and pitted like so many of the vintage chrome pieces that show up in South Africa. My preliminary research suggests that it probably dates to 1969-71 as Timex used the "Electronic" name during that period before adding "Durabeat" to differentiate from the company's battery-powered quartz offerings.
