  1. Hey โ€“ just listened to this. I know that watch collectors deal more with aesthetics, but it would be useful to talk about longer-term durability. Traditionally, mechanical Timexes just โ€˜wore outโ€™ since they didnโ€™t use jeweled bearings. That was the model, and the price made it OK. But what would a modern Timex mechanical look like in 20, or 50 years? Those of us who push back against the โ€˜throw-away cultureโ€™ of modern electronics (hello, Apple) will look for something with longer-term prospects.

    BTW, I wear a 20-year old Citizen GMT and it looks and functions as if brand new. I would buy a Timex if I thought it would do the same.

  2. โ€œI wish I was talented and attractiveโ€ is a great quote, thank you, Kaz.

    Thank you guys for doing a Timex episode. Iโ€™m trying to get into 60s and 70s Timex, many can be had for under $50.

    Keep up the good work!
