A lot of watch for little money - Timex Men's Harborside 42mm diver A+++++
I bought a new ROLEX Submariner 16800 in 1984 and have worn it almost every day for the past 42 years. Lately, I wanted to buy a TUDOR Black Bay 58 gilt dial diver for every day wear for I love its homage to the early ROLEX tool watches. But the TUDOR Black Bay 58 retails for $5,000 and I did not want to buy at that price point right now. Then, in May this year I received a email from TIMEX notifying me their Men's Harborside 42mm diver is available back in stock. Due to Black Bay 58's beautful aesthetic and it is similar to the TUDOR Black Bay 58 gilt dial, at a extremely low price of only $125, I immediately ordered mine from Amazon. I have always been a stainless steel self-wind-movement ROLEX sports watch fan. But now, in spite that the Harborside 42mm is powered by a quartz movement, its materials are not Swiss steel, and that it is not hand made is irrelevant. The Harborside 42mm build quality and aesthetics are excellent. It is a drop-dead gorgeous sports diver watch with a depth rating of 50 meters/165 feet. Wearing my Harborside 42mm now every day for almost three months I am amazed that it keeps perfect time. It loses less than 60 seconds over 30 days in my experience with most days losing no time at all, zero. It is a beautiful gold-brass looking elegant diver that can be worn as a everyday beater with its grippy soot black rubberized strap with gold-brass buckle. TIMEX designed their Harborside diver with its lugs positioned low, so that the watch does not sit high on the wrist as my ROLEX 16800 does. Due to its grippy rubberized black strap and its lugs positioned low, the Harborside diver does not shift around on the wrist much, if at all, making wearing it all day extremely comfortable. It is so comfortable that I don't realize I am wearing mine every day. For a drop-in-the-bucket of only $125 for a sports diver watch TIMEX gives a lot of watch for almost no money. Timex Men's Harborside 42mm diver watch. Highly recommended. A+++++
