New adquisition!

Good evening gents!

Not long ago, a video from Teddy Baldassarre, "The Most Collected Watches Under $1,000 By Enthusiasts" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFTsRPXqI4g), was shared here in the Watch Lover community. Of course, went over it, but a watch caught my attention immediately. It was just different, and maybe the VERY casual watch I was missing to have on-hand. A Timex Weekender 38mm with Nylon Fabric Slip Through Strap, in Gray and Orange.

The moment I saw it, I just had to laugh and go "that looks so cool!". Figured it being a Timex Weekender, it was probably inexpensive. Found it on amazon, $37. With Amazon payments of 5 monthly payments of $7. I laughed, and continued to do so through the process of adding it to the cart and checking out. Today, I finally got it on-hand!

Like a kid falling in love with an inexpensive toy, that's the feeling. It looks so well, and not having a NATO strap (I really don't like them), but a Nylon through strap, it gives the look, but not the added dimensions, of a NATO strap. The gray and orange looks so awesome in real life... was giggling while trying it on. No complications at all, I'm half-impressed it even has a second hand. Probably the basic-est Quartz movement Timex could put on it. But the kid in me is still giggling.

Oh, and LOOK! IT GLOWS!

Can't wipe the smile off my face right now. Such a cool, inexpensive watch. 😂
