Reaching 100k Subscribers & The Best Mechanical Watch Under $50 - 1968 Timex Marlin - Mini Review

In this episode I celebrate reaching 100k subscribers with the acquisition of a new watch, what else did you expect?! With real watchmaking heritage, understated class and a real mechanical movement, the Timex Marlin is hard to beat at a mere $50. With only a limited amount still in good working condition and made in the UK, this robust vintage 60s forgotten classic is one of the best value propositions out there!

They are quite common, there was a Murcury design that was similar or the same, some were gold plated, bracelets or leather straps, my version was as in new condition.

im not sure if your even going to read this but, I'm 14 years old and you have gotten me into collecting watches. You have helped pass down the tradition that was never brought to me by my father. I thank you for helping me find something I'm passionate about and it has had a positive effect on me. (besides my wallet). Thank you TGV.

And as always, onwards and upwards!

Congrats! I remember subscribing to the channel when it "only" had 10k subscribers, now I see one more zero :D Thanks to you I fell in love with Squale, first 50 Atmos, later 60 Atmos... And today I spent 4 years worth of saving on a blue SqualeMatic and the only thing I can say is - perfection. I've never experienced such a feeling putting on a watch on my wrist. So, thank you for that, I probably would never appreciate Squale so much without this channel :D

WOW, so glad to hear, a die hard Squale fan like myself, what can I say?! You have impeccable taste sir! ;-) thank you for the support over the years, deeply appreciated. Best regards, TGV

My horological passion exploded after I find your channel and I'm grateful for that. Big love all the way from Sweden! Please keep the great work going! 😀
