I think the problem with Timex vintage is those old pin movements and the millions produced. They were cheap, tough and could not be serviced so they were tossed. They still can’t be serviced. The company saved themselves with the Ironman and other quartz watches. Today they are mining that legacy and producing some really fun editions from their archives, the Marlin mechanical line, Peanuts, or new stuff like the Galli line, that sell out quickly. It’s an important name in horology and they’ve done a great job with the brand IMO. Lots of energy and good quality. The finishing quality is surprising.
