A Brand New . . . Old Timex

Many people assume that collecting vintage watches isn't affordable.  However, I recently bought a brand, new, in the original box, (new old stock), Timex Mercury manual wind wristwatch on eBay for about $40.

A 1970s vintage Timex Mercury watch

It's a simple watch.  But, it is interesting to compare it with today's Timex watches.  I like the no nonsense styling of this 1970s vintage watch.  It looks sharp!
