I love the Timex Mk1 Aluminum and the indiglo on the white dial version is stunning.

Indiglo is the best

My Mk1 Aluminum

I really hope they bring back the Mk1 aluminum series. I still want a couple more.

You have made excellent choices! This is a great way to start and learn your preferences.

Collect affordable first

$200 watch collection

It is so perfect! Pictures can’t do it justice. In the light it seems so alive with color changes on the dial as the light catches the details. Going from dark to light.

This collection is well under $1000.

You could throw in 3 more icons: a square G-Shock, a Casio Royale, F-91W and still have money left over for a nice meal together.

This is the best! I took my son shopping with a $200 budget.

$200 watch collection

I can’t even imagine what they would do with $1000.

I bet it would include, a Casio Duro, a Seiko Cocktail Time, a Seiko JDM Chronograph, storage, straps, bracelets, tools and more.

I also bought as many as I could find when they were $11 and took a blue one and a Pepsi one and combined them into my daily. $22 custom watch plus $70 for a Strapcode oyster style bracelet. It is a great watch for the price.

Blue Black Mélange Perlon from Wrist Candy Watch Club for $13

Looks like it is currently sold out.

Blue strap

Blue Black Mélange Perlon from Wrist Candy Watch Club. Infinitely adjustable and oh so comfortable.

The Blue Moon looks great on most straps and bracelets.

You could track down a white dialed Timex Mk1 Aluminum and then swap the strap. You would still have indiglo!

The glow is a great feature. In the dark it just amazing.

I can see why you went with the strap!

Sorry to hear about your curse.

It comes originally on a green canvas strap.

The Timex Expedition Scout is amazing value for money. Plus you got that glow!

Indiglo is the GOAT

Merely wearing a watch that is not a smart watch tells me that you are into watches to a certain extent. I have seen people be passionate about any type or price range.
