Kavinsky Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) I bought a timex watch a little while ago, chronograph, looks kinda like their take on the Tudor Fastrider PVD Series, as its one of the few watches I've found that I like, as I found I just dont like straight stainless steel watches, nor any with stainless, problem was it was a left over, kinda beat up, one that was old stock, timex mens expedition T49905 FYI which looks like an old school porsche design watch really and well in looking for a new one, as I like the watch but its hour counter isnt working, either that or I dont know how to set it properly, but everything else is, and I found this of all things in looking to see if they make an automatic version of it https://www.ebay.com/itm/Timex-Womens-Miami-Chronograph-38mm-Bracelet-Gold-Tone-Watch-TW2P93700/263870994256?epid=19021709015&hash=item3d6fefd750:g:fSMAAOSw15VbbfyA:rk:2:pf:0 Timex Womans Miami Chronograph, and tell me that doesnt look like their take on the Ebel he wore, cant find it in a Mans size either, but still, that probably WAS a mans size back in the 80's, and that's a little too closely named and close looking for it to be a coincidence.

Smuggler's Blues Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 38mm would definitely have been a man's size in the Eighties (I'm surprised it's not now). I bought a Tag Heuer man's diver watch in 1989 that is 36mm. The Rolex Submariner (quintessential man's watch) is 40mm, only 2mm more. The one you've linked to is gold colour and has three sub dials, but can't personally see too much resemblance past that. I always keep an eye out for a used Ebel Sportwave like Crockett's, would love one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuggler's Blues Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Not sure if this will work, but this is the Sonny Crockett Ebel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Wow! I'm tempted to buy one even if it's for a woman. Make it in a man's version and I would buy two. Looks close to the Ebel 1911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuggler's Blues Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 What makes it 'for a woman' (beyond someone writing it in the description)? 38mm is perfectly fine for a chap to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 The biggest problem might be a larger man's wrist might be to big for the band made for a lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted January 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 it mentions it as a gift for a boyfriend, I dont quite know why, or if that was the only way that the guy who designed it got them to write off on the design lol as theris been this huge fad in watches them to make them as big as possible, hell that timex I mention having myself is listed at 42mm, and its only now that the sizes are just coming down and I did buy one FYI too lol as I forgot how good the ebel looked, actually its funny out of all the watches, you can find 50 dollar seiko automatics that will last you a life time, same thing with I think even GMT's but the one thing that you always get your money back on going expensive with is chronographs as they just dont have the battery life down yet.

Gary1911A1 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I ordered one and received it today. I think it will work for me and at the price I got it for may order another. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
