    Hey, I guess that was me. Thanks Chris for coming up with something so unique I couldn't resist.
    My youngest grandson is just learning to tell time. This will drive him (and everyone else) nuts!

    Chris.

    Skagen?? gone??? No more?

    My wife loves that one I got here for an everyday knock around watch, and wants something similar for a change of pace.

    sooo.... What's a guy supposed to do?

    Easy, ask Chris for suggestions. To refresh your memory, she really loves this one.

    Wadda ya got to get me out of trouble?

    Not only nice looking, but built very well.
    For the money, they are hard to beat.

    TX is Timex's Company from what I was told.

    Chris,

    I want to get my 10 year old nephew a nice watch (ie adult). Ideally, I'd like a 36mm Luminox. Does luminox make a mid-size/unisex watch? I'd like to be at about $200 or so.

    Thoughts?

    YES!

    They do (they used to at least), however I do not stock them.

    They do make the new Night View series, listed as 40mm but look smaller.
    I have most if not all colors in stock
