I use it in rotation with my other watches. I bought it on sale and thought it would be a potential gift. But that did not happen due to strong vintage vibes from the model - very close to its original. So I kept it  Fits under the cuff easy. WR could have been better and some AR on the inner side would have been appreciated. Overall nicely executed. I did get another Marlin after this...   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Great inexpensive timepiece, plus for the price feel free to crack her open and regulate her for acuracy.

I have the hand winding Marlin, the automatic Marlin, both are nice for the price. I don’t wear them, prefer to leave them in their boxes. See I’m old enough to remember watching John Cameron Swazy with live commercials of Timex. The “ takes a lickin but keeps on tickin”.

I found a vintage GO on a Chrono24 article very similar to the Marlin. Enjoy

I think Timex did a great job on its Marlin lineup, both manual and automatic.
I ended up with the automatic snoopy, which is a great watch, nice high dome crystal, japanese motor .

I was reading (on Hodinkee I think) that GO did a remake of that watch as well? I just remember it being similar to the Marlin but more expensive  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
