I couldn't help it, it was on sale for $75! So I bought both the Zippo Quarters Set and the Timex/Maratac ACQ compass watch. This is a really nice piece for the money and will be sure to see plenty of action this summer, as we have 4 camping trips planned with the Cub/Boy Scouts this summer (one each in May, June, July and August). Somehow I got enlisted to be in charge of our Pack week long Resident Camp in July... Cheers, Griff Attachment: timexacq.jpg (Downloaded 55 times) |

Thanks guys! I have always had a soft spot for Timex, a hand winder that was my Dad's was my very first watch way back when. I had it on one of those funky 70's wrist cuffs, it was a hip Timex, LOL. This is my 4th in recent years, joins an Ironman analog chrono, the new Automatic, an ana-digi compass that I gave to my older son when I got my Suunto, and now this one. This compass is the coolest of all and seems built like a tank with a very smooth bi-directional bezel with just the right amount of friction and a lumed North pointer. Yes, it is a nice satin finish, and the best part is I can get all different color Zulu/NATO straps to put it on. I have it on a gray right now, I may get an orange one for laughs, that'll get the Scouts' attention! Cheers, Griff |

Great watch Griffhand6.gif Funny you post on Timex...I was at Target yesterday and they had 2 sweet looking Timex watches for $89/99. I have been looking all morning to find some info and pics for the forum, but no luck. These had the Citizen Eco/drive look, with retrogade day, 24 hour indicator, date wheel with a diver look. Timex seems to be making a movehand6.gif |

These were made (so I read) under contract for Maratac to market to Law Enforcement personnel, and probably a vehicle to sell more Zulu straps (which I really like). Timex makes the same watch for themselves only the lugs are quite different and look like they will only take a Timex replacement strap, plus the dial has the Timex logo on it. I gave my son my Timex ana-digi compass model (regular analog time keeping, compass, date and 2nd time zone in LCD display). He loves it, I will make a WIS out of him yet :P Timex is definitely on the move, I love their TX series watches though they are too expensive for me right now, around $500 for some really sweet complicated quartz pieces with flyback chronos etc. Check out txwatches.com :) I might have to take a trip to Target Tony! hand6.gif Cheers, Griff |

Very nice! And one of the few watches with NESW markings on the bezel that actually make sense! hand6.gif Like it, congrats! |
