The Q-Timex reissue, which has been sold out for months and fetching silly premiums on eBay, is now available.
I like it, but not at asking price. £99 is about it's mark.

Indeed. When it was first released I had one in the basket at the Timex UK website but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed overpriced. I procrastinated long enough for it to be out of stock. My feelings have remained the same so I won't be going for it this time around either.
I like it and I think the price is pretty fair but 50m WR kills it for me.
I know you could view it as honest, but it amazes me when they use a publicity shot showing the second hand hitting right between the markers. My eyes were drawn straight to it.

Looks like I will be waiting till they go back in stop again. Anybody got an idea when?
Managed to snag one earlier today.
I like it , but think its also a little overpriced .
Got the email a couple of hours ago and just went for a look - out of stock again
Sold out.

For the money, it looks a bargain! Glad to know it was a reissue of a watch that launched in 1979 - my birth year. Will probably pass it to my son when he's older.
Meantime, I browsed the Timex site and came across their Batman! 43mm though :(
At risk of going OT - mine arrived yesterday - very pleased with it, the GMT setting is a joy compared with a lot, and Indiglo's a boon in the gloom given it's quite a dark-complexioned thing.
In the flesh it's a tad more restrained than pics make it appear, and it wears small for its size, so unless you have twigs for arms, you should be fine.
Its one annoyance is a very stiff bezel with poor grip - it's too smooth! Otherwise it's a lot of watch for the money, especially with discount applied.
Managed to buy a couple. Find it strange that people are immediately trying to flip these on eBay. The premium is about +£80 after all costs / fees now. Hardly worth flipping in my opinion (unless you're doing it at scale!) but each to their own.
I think they'll make great gifts...
I managed to get 5. 1 each for myself and the missus, 1 for my brother in law, 1 for a fellow watch nut who had been after one for ages and then I'm going to keep one BNIB for display. The 15% thing worked also if you contact customer services.

Managed to bag 2. One to wear and enjoy, one to keep mint. Shocked they were sold out within an hour of getting the email from Timex!

Ahh damn! I’ve wanted one of these since first seeing them! Well done who picked them up! If you want to shift one let me know
If anyone has one spare that they’ed like to sell to a fellow watch enthusiast then I’m all ears!
I hovered over the buy button for a minute or two then came to my senses – loose bezel, no WR, cheap quartz movement.
I'd wear it once and forget about it so not worth spending £160 on.
I bought 27. I’m keeping 26 of them in the safe to sell when I grow old and need the money. The other one will be worn on special occasions.
They are claiming there’ll be more on sale next week.
Can’t decide if I want one. It’s a bit like Italian tinned tomatoes - not sure I’m that fussed, but being told there might be a shortage after October 31st makes me want to stock up.
Kinda want one...went in hour after they went on sale and were gone..
Missed it. Jocke took some great pics a while ago.

Missed out again! email had gone to my junk folder.
Have requested to be noticed when back in stock for a second time!
Received mine today. Wearing it now. Missus says it's the nicest watch I've bought/own. As this list includes Omega, Tudor, Oris, etc, etc, watches, this is high praise indeed!
One point is that I have one of those flat wide wrists, and the bracelet is not that flexible/comfortable straight out of the box. Hopefully it will free up in time.
im really wanting this - put it on my xmas list - I live in hope.....
In a mad moment the other day, I almost pulled the trigger on a Timex Marlin 34mm in order to scratch that mechanical/vintage itch. I decided £175 was too much for a bloody Timex with a cheapo Chinese movement, but it still gives me no trouble to understand why the watch sold out.

Falling in love with it already, makes me want to buy a Raleigh Chopper and a Space Hopper, maybe look up H R Puff n' Stuff on YouTube aswell. Nothing has ever been so 70's!
Got a nice surprise getting back home today. Fit and feel is better than I expected! Makes a great beater if you ask me.
Looks great
Looks really good
I love my one, it's a great watch when you just should go to the store for example when the mechanical have stopped.
Just put it on, time is set (maybe the wrong date) but that is the good thing with a Quartz watch.
The only bad is the bracelet is little sharp at the sides.
Seem to be a lot on flea bay at varying prices. Wonder if the demand is really there for the inflated prices, and if not how long before the prices dive as the chancers try to recoup what they can!
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
An automatic at this price point will be a terrible timekeeper. Stick with a quartz movement Timex!
