New Timex Marlin Automatic Burgundy

Post by AtomicTom » Thu Dec 19, 2019 9:31 am

Not sure if everyone has had time to see this new online exclusive Timex
Marlin Automatic.

This watch looks to have a 40mm polished, and brushed stainless steel
case, 30m WR, acrylic crystal, burgundy dial with sleek hands, and markers,
nice leather straps, and Miyota 8215 seen through an exhibition case-back.

Some pictures for you...

Thank you Tom, these are very nice a part the minute hand being a bit too short in my opinion. Also not thrilled with the Miyota 82xx movement. But overall they are nice, if they had a bracelet it would help too.

Stu, have a more direct link here below with some info for you... :thumbsup:

Carlo, thank YOU ! :salute: ..You are right, those hands do seem short in general.
Am thinking it is a vintage thing honestly, and they are trying to stay true to
the originals.

Oh, and yeah, would be neat if they offered multiple movement, and
even strap, or bracelet types, or options. ..Maybe the next time sir. :)

THX so much to everyone !!!

That and the one way winding rotor whizzing around when you turn your wrist. I imagine it would be pretty noticeable on a light watch like this.

I actually really like the looks of this watch and Timex certainly could justify going a bit more up market with the movement. Given the display case back, maybe even find one with a bit of decoration. The 8215 isn't exactly meant for a display back.

The freewheeling rotor is a close second in the annoying dept.

I will probably never own a 7750 for the same reason Image
