![[Timex] Found the watch I wore as a teenager. What's a nicer version of this?](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/e9aca33d-1c1c-427f-b504-a293ee754bc1.webp){kind=link}

Seiko SNK803 might be a good option if you’re cool with a 37mm case
Or the current SRPJ83
Lorus lumibrite. $60 on amazon UK.
First, I’d check the assumption that it’s beyond repair. Throw a fresh battery in it and see what happens, then I’d put a cool new strap on it and rock it with pride.
But to preserve the look/nostalgia of your teenage years and remain true to the vibe, take a look at the new Timex Waterbury classics. I bought one for similar reasons, by far the cheapest watch in my collection, and the ONLY one I’ve ever received a compliment on from a stranger.
Looks like my Seiko SARG005
If you want to go used and quasi-vintage, look at the Eterna Cambridge watches … if you can find one. They seem to have been made in small numbers.
Otherwise look at the Hamilton Khaki and Aviation series watches (which are currently being produced).
Take a look at Seiko Alpinist.
Hamilton Khaki expedition, or khaki field maybe? Are you looking for mechanical or quartz?
I was the same as a teenager, love timex. Have a few other watches but wanted one for work that looked good but wouldnt kill me if something happened to it. Found this one and absolutely love it.
Hamilton Khaki
I am also a lover of this style timex and can say with confidence you will like a hamilton khaki field to bring this feeling back. Make sure you check the case diameter of this one and look to get a watch that is the same case size. It makes it that much better trust me
There’s not an off-white Hamilton khaki though, is there? The bright white has a totally different feel to me.
They made one with a cream dial. Paste this in Google: H70555523. The cream looks much less intense in real shots of the watch
The khaki king is a champagne
It looks loved lol
I took that watch through everything! It died well and honorably.

If you really want to honor that watch, stay with the Timex family.
