I believe (and someone correct me if I am wrong) the term Texas Timex came from the oil boom days of the '80's where many became very rich, very quickly. The solid gold Day Date became so ubiquitous among the oil crowd, it gained the Texas Timex nickname.

it does pair well with a Stetson, Ostrich boots, denim and a turquoise Bolo....

Any golfers in here? My SA knows how much of a crazy golfer I am and gifted me a swag bag of Rolex branded golf stuff I thought it was very thoughtful of them!

A quick google confirms that you are correct! I will be referring it as the Texas Timex from here on out!

I hear you man. I’m the same, this was one of the rare instances that you’ll catch me in a suit. Here’s proof from earlier this afternoon.
