Probably too recent a release. The Falcon Eye and 1978 reissue are both there but not with as big savings as these two.Originally Posted by adesmith

Excellent PSA.
Just bought the green/ yellow Timex Q, with the EXTRA20 for £63.20!
Thanks for sharing!
A pleasure. Remember the days when people were paying £300+ for these?
I always found these reissues really flimsy and insubstantial. Part of the retro charm, I suppose.
Same sale on the US site as well. Picked up one of these for $75 with free shipping. Thanks for sharing, Ruggertech

Flimsy bordering on disposable! I bought one in an Amazon sale for about £80 a year ago, I think I’ve worn it twice. Looks a lot better than it feels if that makes sense?
Received my Q reissue today. It’s a fun watch, but definitely not worth the RRP.
I think the £63 odd I paid is about the right price.

Agreed, they are fun and I think cool, but the sale price is far more realistic than the rrp.
Looking thru their mens watches and new releases, you can see the brands that inspire their designers.
Looks like the extra 20% off has been removed now.

I rather enjoyed my time with the Pepsi one that was all the rage for a while. Could entertain another. But the bracelet was the worst hair-puller since the 90s Omega Dynamic.
I can relate to that!
Absolute torture for the more hirsute of us
You should wear it on your wrist, otherwise asking for trouble.I can relate to that!

I wore mine yesterday as a result of this thread and had a compliment on my lovely watch from a female colleague who used the words ‘very cool watch, I prefer that to the (BB58) you usually wear to the office. Looks old like you but in a good way’. I’ll take that from a 25 year old!
Wearing mine this morning. I disagree with some of the comments on here. I think it is worth the RRP. Happy that I paid £60 obviously. Doesn’t feel flimsy as mentioned in my opinion. That said, not sure how many hairs I will have left on my wrist by the end of today!

Whilst I have said I believe £60 is the real price its not a criticism, I believe a watch with a simple quartz mechanism, diver styling but no real water resistance should be about that price. I don't think they are flimsy, I have one of the first of the reissues (think I bought it on sc) and I still enjoy it and it still looks good. And like a previous poster who received positive comments from a colleague has found, it's one of the few watches I have ever owned that has had a few of those.
Enjoy it, great fun and value for £60, you could have wasted four times that or more on a plastic space watch! ;)
I have to admit, that wrist shot sells the watch to me better than that on the Timex website.Wearing mine this morning. I disagree with some of the comments on here. I think it is worth the RRP.
