More companies should produce affordable hand winders. I think the people love them. Just a cool feeling to manually power your watch everyday

I've had my Marlin for over 2 years, has been an absolute treat to own. I've toyed with getting a mesh bracelet as up til now I've had it on a beige Colareb leather. Looks great and love the small size in general!

I had a Timex watch very much like this many, many years ago, and when I see this, I get a nostalgic desire to have one again. Then I see the price, and think about the quality, and start to doubt. I have one completely manual wind watch in my collection, and I love it. It's an Orient Monarch Classic, with a power reserve and no date.

I own two of this little Marlins and love them easy to said they go with almost anything you wearing, very versatile and affordable 👍🏼👍🏼,very vintage in my opinion....

This watch is quite reminiscent of my Unicorn watch my dad gave me back in the late 60’s, early 70’s. I actually managed to buy a near mint version of the same watch about 2 years ago, long after my late father had given mine, with my consent to a down & out uncle. Lovely looking reissue. I did look at this model some 12 months or so ago, but having my Unicorn, I passed. I agree though with your thoughts on a metal movement keeper internally & a display back Rob!😎👍🏼

I like it. Manual wind only watches are very cool

Great review, Timex have found their feet and are turning out some great watches recently.

Just picked up one of these in black for $19.97 at Nordstrom Rack!

I have a 6 and a quarter inch wrist and I'd totally rock it at 34, finally we get proper and classical sized watches for us, the small-wristed people :(

It actually didn't look too bad on your wrist Rob. I think the Mesh Bracelet helped with that.

Internet detectives seem to agree that it is a modified Seagull ST6 movement. That is a great little watch!

Thanks Rob really eye opening review.

Looks like a nice little watch.

Nice watch. Brings back childhood memories of the one my Dad wore from the mid-60's well into the late 70's. Might have to get one just for nostalgia ⌚. The dial would have to be numbered 1 thru 12 like his was.

Thanks for opening the back. I have one and always wanted to see what's inside

Nice looking watch

Looks basically identical to the Seagull 1963 chronograph movement minus the chronograph part. Also, it's so cute and tiny.

Very nice looking movement.

I gotta 7 inch wrist & regularly sport a seiko dolce sacm171. I like the look.

Bought mine from Timex too. $106 but I got the gold tone with brown leather band. although I don't have aa solid back it is translucent so that I can see the movement. I bought it because of the old jingle “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.”

Simply elegant.

I have a 1968 with the same number layout on the dial. I take it out every once in a while.

I have a similarTimex I bought on holiday in Portugal in 1987.it's automatic so a bit thicker and it has a day date feature.the days are in Portuguese so they must have had a factory there at the time.

Looks great on your arm! You just have to get used to seeing such a small watch! Thanks for the video!

Rock it dude!

definitely looks like a Seagull. I want one

Nice watch. I owned Timex in the 1960s. Again in the 1980s I bought a Timex diver while my Seamaster was away for service. The Timex diver was also hand wind and I did dive with it. If you are giving this away I want it.

I'm pretty sure the movement is a Seagull ST6. I own the standard Black numerals, silver dial version which came with the black leather strap. Great video btw!

Any idea which one should I be picking? This Timex 34mm or the newest 37mm Orient Bambino? Please advice thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Sweet! 👍

I do not buy Timex.... but...That is a beautiful watch. I would buy that watch and be proud to have it on my wrist. Absolutely gorgeous.

Great video thank you for sharing in this case small is better

Interesting they went through the effort of faux decorating the movement considering it’s not going to be shown and it’s such an affordable price. Thanks for popping it off, never seen it before and I owned one.

Pretty cool for what it is. Gives me 40s vibe, to bad it’s not at least a mineral crystal.

Looks bigger than 34 millimeters because it’s almost all dial. I think it looks pretty good.

Very nice looking watch. Hodikee says the movement is likely a Chinese one but Timex wouldn't specify which movement.

Do you know where I can find this watch at now?

Cool movement! But given Timex business pre-Quartz era, This might be a disposable movement, hence, a disposable watch once it stops working.

Maybe better proportions with a 16mm lug width?

Cleaver the way the dial was created

I bought the hodinkee timex q LE today

hi rob, thanks for this review! just bought one. just a question -- you said you could adjust the tightness of the strap on your wrist with a screwdriver, just wondering which one i should buy and how i would do this?

Is the watch light on the wrist?

I wonder if that braclet would work on that new Timex Todd Snyder, the gray dial with the red indices, leather isn’t bad but I’m more of a bracelet guy

You are right, one of those small-diameter display casebacks would be cool. Probably doesn't fit their vintage aesthetic of the Marlin, but I think it'd be cool to see the little gears winding.

Are you going to sell this Beauty?

I intend to buy a Vostok Classica, very similar.

I have at least 2 dozen of these from the 60s and 70s....

The watch doesn't look small, for what its worth

You would think it’s a pretty nice movement.

does it hack?

4:05 thats a beautiful movement, unfortunately there is exhibition caseback

John Wayne wore a 34 mm wristwatch in photos that I've seen of him; I think you'll be ok wearing this one. I think his watch was probably more expensive, but I don't know what make it was. He could afford anything he wanted, so...

Seagull ST6

I went with the Liquor Store version: 38mm auto Marlin.

thats a seagull movement

Nice looking reissue watch & good to see it at an original size too, rather than upscaled to suit modern tastes. Unfortunately The movement looks cheap to me with that large plastic spacer ring. Looks like it was intended for use in much smaller watches, it's a shame as Timex always seems to opt for the cheapest movements in their mechanical watches!

Modified miyota.

That’s too small. My sweet spot is 39-42

I dunno if it's the name itself or what, but every Timex I've ever seen just looks like cheap garbage that I used to have as a kid.

Why not cut out the middleman and get something similar from AliExpress for a fraction of the price. Personally I can do without this faux heritage bs.
