What's your opinion on this watch? I thought it's quite attractive and it's inspired by timex archives too.

Right back at you, Do you like it? Have you compared it against the original issued? If you could pick one just based on looks Smith vs Timex ie out of the four.

IMO the timex is not bad looking, you could have picked Seiko and be just as happy or Tresser, Lumatek and many other brands that are "Military"

Cheers
Pat

For that amount I'd like a box to go with the bonclip. Also like to know that all functions are running as expected. Looks correct to me.

Reckoned it had to be Lemania, claimed to be running fine and fully functioning, crystal and case described as having many scratches although looked good enough to me.

Here I found it. Took some searching. IMO this is the basis for the reissue. I think it's odd that a US issued remake to have a UK broad arrow on the dial. Maybe I've missed the British reference. I cannot find a ATP Timex, WWW(not really applicable as it's sub sec). Or G10 Timex. So the reissue feels a little like a marketing ploy.

So again it's down to your likes and dislikes. But hope this helps to make an informed/beginning and choice of where to do some research for you.

Interested in opinions on this piece that sold today at auction at a hammer price of £2,800 GBP +23%+vat. Movement listed as unsigned.

Agree, the price was more than what I would like to pay.

Precista assym' chrono today.

The Hamilton, CWC, Newmark, and Precista "1970’S BRITISH MILITARY ASYMMETRICAL CHRONOGRAPHS" are so nice 😀 Hopefully I will lay my hand on one sometime in the near future 😀 I envy you all in possession of one (or more) of them 👍
