On a side note, I've been looking at Alpha watches for a beater watch, they seem too good to be true!

I don't think it's so bad...and like someone else said, better than a fake SD. My first watch was a Timex and I built a company around them...no bad mouthing here and I'm sure for $45 it keeps good time.

It Timex has no shame, then Rolex should be disgusted with themselves since they ripped off the Sub look from Blancpain.

Sorry guys, but if I saw somebody wearing this I would have to chuckle. It's obvious they're trying to sell a watch that looks like a Rolex - and it's definitely NOT.

I don't think Timex (or anyone else) is trying to sell their 'hommage' as the original, just using a tried design that works. I'm betting most buyers of that Timex wouldn't know a Rolex if they sat on one. |

![]() I agree with atomic, I don't think people who buy/wear this knows even what a SD is, so its not like Timex is trying to appeal to those who rocks their folex, its a sports watch that you probably shouldn't go swimming with (50WR) yet most people needs not to worry about as its less than 50 bucks. The way I see it, its just another watch with 3 hands and a clean dial, I wouldn't spend money to go get one, but I wouldn't mind wearing one if I ever come across one. TIMEX > Folex |

On the topic of the OP, I would rather see someone wear this Timex than a fake Rolex. My choice would be the BP FF if I was getting a dive watch. |

With that watch at 11:55 you can only see the ___EX in the name, so you have just one minute to show it off!

If I saw someone in a $1,200.00 dollar suit, and in $600.00 shoes, and a nice plain timex on their wrist. I would raise an eyebrow, but it would probably make me smile.

How about clothes that look like thrift shop rejects and a real SS Daytona on the wrist?
