I had to part with my old Timex Expedition.\u00a0 The wear through on the plating made the watch react with my skin and unwearable.\u00a0 The last time I wore it, my skin broke out around where the crown and lugs came in contact with my skin.\u00a0 Whatever ‘base metal’ is, my skin chemistry does not agree with it.\u00a0\u00a0 As as tribute to the designers, it was still mostly working when retired it.\u00a0 Still told time and the Indiglo worked.\u00a0 The hacking feature did not work anymore and the quickset date was almost non functional as well.\u00a0 The leather band is now on the Speedmaster, they both have 20mm lugs.\u00a0 It was a simple watch for a simpler time of my life.\u00a0 As a happy note, I asked for and will be receiving a white\/cream faced watch for Christmas.\u00a0 All I know is that is a Seiko and an Automatic.\u00a0 Check back in a little less than two months to see what I got.\u00a0 I am sure it will be a fine replacement for this tired workhorse.\u00a0 In the end, it is just a piece of machinery that could no longer be used for its original purpose.\u00a0 From now on, all of my watches are all stainless or titanium.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>by <\/span>\"feather\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
