Deepwater Reef 200 Titanium - I think I got one of the last ones available on the web! Well known to have a problem with the hand lume - a design fault apparantly. 🤷‍♂ Anyway I blame WatchChris's excellent YT videos for this purchase. (Bought the yellow quartz version too)

The only Timex I bought that, I can still locate, is one I gave to my high school girlfriend around twenty-seven years ago. She still has it and it still runs.

My first Timex in 55 years or so. The last one broke when I saved a free kick as a goaly. The weight fell of the winding system and the watch maker could not or would not repair it.

This one is a 34mm Carriage in Titanium (bracelet is ss) from June 1990. Full set with box and papers. Feels really light and small compared to my Seamaster.

The number 66 means it was produced in June 1990. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Budget_Watch_Collecting/Timex_date_codes

I collect Ironman watches. It's super hard to find the 80's and 90's models in mint condition. It's a nice challenge that doesn't break the bank. I love this baby blue one.

@hen I like it. It has a interesting look to it, with that bezel and the titanium tinged dial.

So, are you saying that with your old Timex you proved the old ads wrong? Yours took a licking but quit ticking.

Sure did! Good thing my arm didnt break, as the older kids practised their penalty kicks with me as goaly.
