EL panels are RAD!

Their Marlin is gorgeous. I had one. Nice watch.

Timex was the watch of my youth, because low-price. Of course, it was all clockwork then. Maybe some of those watches for a schoolkid's budget would be collectable now: of course, I don't have any.

Anyway, last time I looked, they were still nice, but affordable, stuff. And indiglo looked cool :). But I haven't worn a watch for a decade.

Have you considered a cheap UV flashlight? You can get a AAA light of Amazon and charge the dial without running down the watch battery.

Love Indiglo. Hate that Timex movements (at least on their cheap lines like the Weekender) were so loud I could hear them even when in their box on my desk.

I thought you were gonna say they were cool because they keep on tickin.

But maybe that was in an alternate world.

@fraggler I have two Expeditions, one chrono and one not, and the ticking is barely audible. I kind of find it satisfying. Can't really hear it down at my waist.

I think the ticking was for syncing... military field watches and such.

@Syzygy I mean, they do take a lickin.

That's why they're my work watches. Though actually I think they can look really nice. Just really solid watches with bitchin and unique backlights that don't cost watch-head money to have a couple.
