I'm HAPPY to say I'd been looking for a watch that was not a self wind / elect. Or modern. My husband has one of those metabolisms that stops% starts reverses speeds up or slows down watches..ive bought CHEAP watches and expensive ones and it didn't matter. We put leather, plastic and moleskin behind the watches to keep it off his skin no dice... So after 40 years of marriage and approx. 100 watches we FINALLY have success thanks to YOU.... He is EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH his Marlin Timex and it arrived the day before our ANNIVERSARY AGAIN MANY THANKS... Finally he has no excuse for missing appointments or picking me up late.
