#TBT THE STORY OF AN HEIRLOOM TIMEX MARLIN AUTOMATIC
By: MICHAEL STOCKTONJAN 04, 2018, fratellowatches.com
So, here we are in the first week of 2018 and Fratello Watches kicks off #TBT with a look at a vintage Timex Marlin. We’ve never featured a Timex on our site, so why are we showing a watch from a brand that’s known as an affordable (read: cheap) maker of utilitarian and reliable timepieces? Well, it isn’t entirely due to the much-ballyhooed recent re-release of a 1960’s handwound Marlin, but it certainly means that interest in Timex is at a relative high and that the collector watch world may be more open to hearing about older variants. As mentioned, though, there’s a stronger reason for featuring this watch, so let’s continue.
