CHEAP BASTARD: The Timex Q 1975 Reissue is a retro bargain for $305

When your back catalogue runs as deep and storied as Timex, dipping your horological toe into the re-issues pool should be a no brainer. Having already exhibited some serious nous by reimaging the mid-century Marlin in both hand-wound and automatic varities – plus one for the ladies – the American manufacturer has again dipped into the archives. This time around we’re talking the Q 1975 Reissue which has an asking price of $305.

No. Actually, not just "no", but "Fuck, no!"

You've had a lot of watches. You know a lot about watches. Nine times out of ten I'd defer to your assessment. However...

The RR Timex Automatic is a FUCKING AMAZING wartche. I didn't know what I was doing with my life, I was trash. Then the RR arrived. Now I'm negotiating deals with the Gubmint...

What if the Timex Q has similar powers? Political powers? If so, and it's a pretty big if, but IF SO, that would represent the best US$305 you ever spent. And you can take that to the bank.

I think The Timex Q is responsible for that new drone factory being built in Queensland.

Still, I'll wait till Jomashop has them for $149.99.
