This Timex Sportster watch is different from others carrying the model name in that its a large men’s watch and not a mid or small sized ladies watch.

The dial is beautiful and typical of watches from this age. There is a deep sunburst outer ring adorned with both Arabic and pointed markers. The center is dark and stamped with circular grooves. This area contains a seconds track and the brand name Timex and WATERPROOF.

Hi, My name is Mark Rushworth AKA Timetrope on Social Media. Ive been collecting Timex watches for a little over three years. From day one the community of collectors have been very patient and generous for the most part which has kept my interest and engagement in the hobby.

'Ive set up this website partly as a way of cataloging my collection and its many gaps, and as a way of paying forwards the kindness offered to me by Knut, Ian and others (you know who you are).
