I bought this watch as an alternative for my small collection after seeing so much about Timex "reissues" in the watch community. This is a beautiful and comfortable watch. The strap type was unknown to me and it took a YouTube video to figure out how to adjust the clasp (my ignorance). Contrary to some of the reviews I read online and in YouTube videos, I didn't notice this group clinging to the hairs on my arm (which I have quite a lot of). Is that Rolex root beer? Of course not. But it is a beautiful and reliable quartz watch.
