[Here’s why.]( [Q Timex Reissue Dive Watch – $179]( NOTE: At post time, [Timex.com is currently sold out of these things](. [So is Todd Snyder](. As is [Huckberry](. So, currently waiting on a restock at all of them. Shoot me an email if you have a tip on any restocks: joe@dappered.com This one just feels different. Don’t get me wrong, Timex has been doing an incredible job these last few years. The [Red Wing collaboration](. [The Archive line]( [The Todd Snyder collaberations]( [The mechanical Marlin](. All huge wins for Team Timex Design. But [the Q]( The Q seems to be another level. [Win it: In Review - The Q Timex Reissue Dive Watch | Dappered.com]( Based on a design from their back catalog when Quartz watches were the hot new thing, it is decidedly retro, yet totally of this moment. Because right now, in the 21st century, 1970s style is kinda all the rage (minus the bell bottoms, thankfully). Especially the sporty stuff. The bold colors and mixing of sharp lines and curved edges. And that’s the Q in a nutshell. That is, if the nut in question was a quartz watch movement, and the shell was an extraordinarily well designed, fun, sharp, reasonably affordable piece of wrist candy. Nuts. Yes. [You’re gonna love these nuts](. [Win it: In Review - The Q Timex Reissue Dive Watch | Dappered.com]( Diameter is an appreciated by many, more classic, 38mm. Too small for some, but a refreshing change for those who haven’t enjoyed the “bigger is better” timepiece trend of the last decade or so. And that size fits right along with the rest of the retro styling cues. [Win it: In Review - The Q Timex Reissue Dive Watch | Dappered.com]( Off-white, almost sepia indices and hands. A case that mixes geometry with wearability, brushed edges and polished surfaces. The blue and red bezel functions, and it’s one of those bidirectional, “clickless” types. There’s good tension to it too. I don’t see it getting knocked out of place easily. And then there’s the band. A mesh Milanese style, with a jubilee influenced width-variation to the links. [Win it: In Review - The Q Timex Reissue Dive Watch | Dappered.com]( The generously domed crystal is also pretty fun. It is acrylic, so expect it to pick up some scratches. But some guys actually like a watch that shows some wear. And acrylic is true to the time period they’re invoking. Water resistance is 50m, which should be plenty. And the back of the case is adorned with a charmingly off-kilter, easy access battery hatch. [Win it: In Review - The Q Timex Reissue Dive Watch | Dappered.com]( But does it “tick”? Yes it ticks. But to me, it’s not as loud as the dreaded TICK TICK TICK that some cheaper Timex watches seem to display. This one has an audible tick, like almost all Timex watches, but it doesn’t seem as aggressive on the ears. Maybe it’s the higher quality case and design? It does feel a step above. So perhaps that’s what’s keeping those sound waves from assaulting the sensitive (to some, not all of us) shores of your ear drums. [Win it: In Review - The Q Timex Reissue Dive Watch | Dappered.com]( To keep up in an ultra competitive retail world, Timex has had to answer a lot of questions. And this Q seems to be the latest Answer to the inquiry: “Will Timex make another hugely popular watch that retailers can’t keep in stock?” Yes. Indeed they have.

These technical chinos are made from 100% poly Japanese Toray twill. Two way stretch, super breathability, soft to the touch, etc. Sadly, the slim fits are basically gone, but there’s plenty of straight fits left. And if you’re after stretch/breathability/technical chinos, perhaps you’re on team #legday and could use a little more room. Ships for free. On sale via Huckberry. Final sale though. [Gingko Mini Halo One Bluetooth Speaker in Walnut – $70]( [Gingko Mini Halo One Bluetooth Speaker in Walnut]( My goodness. That’s gorgeous. I mean, there are worse looking ways to give your ears their daily dose of Cannibal Corpse. [Retro 1951 Tornado Rollerball Pen – $20]( [Retro 1951 Tornado Rollerball Pen]( Via our man Aaron K: Unless you want to go all-in like [Bud Collins]( used to do, most of us show a bit of personality with accessories (no, not “flair”). One such accessory that’s well worth investing in is the humble, yet mightier than the [sword]( pen. A good pen can make your written work look better, and like any piece of quality hardware, it’s just nicer to use than the supply cabinet special. Today’s good pen? The Retro Tornado (no, not [that retro tornado](. The Tornado is a solidly-built, well-balanced pen with a knurled twist knob mechanism (so you can’t succumb to [endless clicking](. You can take your pick of any ‘Parker-style’ refill, allowing the use of a variety of ballpoint or rollerball refills — even the [Fisher Space Pen]( with its adapter. Coincidentally, this is the same refill style as the roller/ballpoint Kaweco Sport line (fountain model reviewed, [here](), so if you want refill consistency with an everyday carry pen, you can have it. The Tornado is a great buy at around $20 for the basic lacquered model, and there are many [special editions]( which can also make great gifts. [Banana Republic Factory Cozy Varsity Stripe Sweater – $25.19]( w/ FACTORY40 ($69.99) [Banana Republic Factory Cozy Varsity Stripe Sweater]( [THE KEVIN LOVE VARSITY STRIPE SWEATER LIVES ON](. Only instead of it being at Banana Republic and in a rugged but still soft wool blend, it’s now moved over to BR Factory and… made in a cotton blend. Well, that’s what happens at BR Factory. Still, mighty fine looking sweater. [Full Moon 999 Fine Silver Coin – $20]() [Full Moon 999 Fine Silver Coin]() “What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That’s a pretty good idea. I’ll give you the moon…” – [George Bailey](. The holidays are coming up. Maybe you want to give someone the moon this year. Maybe you want to give your damn self the moon this year. [Banana Republic Nicklas Sneakers in Mixed Suede/Leather – $64]( w/ BRFAMILY ($128) [Banana Republic Nicklas Sneakers in Mixed Suede/Leather]( With the colder, darker weather, is it perhaps time to give the all white sneakers a bit of an occasional rest for the season? Maybe. These would be a terrific way to still stay sneakered-up/dressed down, while also nodding to the change in weather. Last day for this price. BR’s half off friends and family code BRFAMILY expires today, 11/4. [Athletic Brewing Non Alcoholic Hometown Harvest Fall IPA – $12.99 / 6 pack]( [Athletic Brewing Non Alcoholic Hometown Harvest Fall IPA]( The world of N/A micro brews is a growing one. And that means they’re constantly sold out. This stuff? Totally worth getting on their mailing list for. Do NOT expect it to taste like some big and bitter hoppy as heck fall seasonal. It’s a non-alcoholic. BUT. Does it still taste like fall, have some hop character and malt backgrounds, AND won’t leave you bloated and hungover after a few? That is correct. More than a fair trade if you ask me. n/a beer is light-years ahead of where it used to be. And [Athletic](, along with [Bravus](, are leading the way. [Banana Republic Italian Merino Shawl Collar Sweater – $54.50]( w/ BRFAMILY ($109) [Banana Republic Italian Merino Shawl Collar Sweater]( I know. More Banana Republic. But it’s the last day for Friends and Family. 100% merino wool. Four colors, including that cool shade of light blue shown above. [Full picks for this sale can be found here](. [Yamazaki Home Rin Magnetic Key Rack with Tray – $20]( [Yamazaki Home Rin Magnetic Key Rack with Tray]( Mrs. Dappered and I recently moved, and the home we now live in had a tiny little, cheap looking, chintzy key rack towards the front door. Mrs. Dappered, who is usually reluctant to be critical (hence she married me), took one look at that key rack and said “that thing has to go.” And we replaced it with [this](. Not only can you easily mount it on a wall, it also comes with a magnetic strip on the back in case you want to stick it to your fridge (or, a metal door as shown above). Looks great. Functions great too. The mail holder/organizer up top is extra handy. Be like Mrs. Dappered. Be less critical. But c’mon. Have some standards too. [Bespoke Post “Dwell” Box – $45]( [Bespoke Post "Dwell" Box]( I don’t believe in much, but I do believe in good lighting, and not depending on crappy Shopko-purchased 100% polyester fleece blankets. And thus, the slight obsession with wool and wool blend blankets. These things are 70″ x 50″, a wool-blend twill, come in a few different colors/stripe schemes, and they throw in an incense sample just for the heck of it. You get one blanket, not two as pictured above. Don’t get greedy. $45 for a wool blend twill blanket that’s actually a good size such as these is pretty stellar. NOTE: If this is your first box from Bespokse post? Use the code DAPPERED25 for 25% off at checkout. Drops the price to $33.75. But just this once. Because they love you. For other Best Bets under $75 from previous months, [click here](. ff/Dappered?a=og2hQrkaac0:J6RnPwfyYvM:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=og2hQrkaac0:J6RnPwfyYvM:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=og2hQrkaac0:J6RnPwfyYvM:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Steal(ish) Alert: Hamilton Khaki King Automatic Watch at Nordstrom for $380](r/Dappered/~3/-4ZVX_6VH30/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 04 Nov 2019 06:21 AM PST Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. [Here’s why.]( [Hamilton Khaki King Automatic 40mm Watch – $380.99]( ($545) Dear [peanut gallery]( ready to poop all over this on social media. Hold off for a sec. Allow me to make the case. Shopping for watches on the internet can be difficult. You’re sorta buying something sight-unseen-in-person. And if it shows up and you don’t like the way it looks laying (gently) on your wrist, or it seems bigger or smaller, or it doesn’t feel as good in your hands as you thought it would, well, depending on where you bought it, sending it back could be potentially difficult. A lot of us (myself included) will often try to save money by buying from “gray market” watch dealers. These are retailers who are not “authorized” brand reps, and thus, don’t have the relationship with the brand, often have tighter return policies, and don’t offer a manufacturer’s warranty. Sometimes a gray market purchase works out great. Sometimes it doesn’t. It’s a risk. [What we’re looking at, here]( is a 40mm diameter (should work for most), Swiss made watch with rugged good looks and from a heritage brand that’s impressive without being snooty. It’s also weirdly on sale at a big name, trustworthy retailer like Nordstrom, who’s gotta be an authorized dealer, and thus, you get all the bells, whistles, papers, warranty cards, etc. PLUS. Since it’s Nordstrom, it ships and returns for free. Is it on sale at gray-market Jomashop for less? [Yes. $32 less](//www.jomashop.com/hamilton-mens-watch-h64455533.html?). But let’s be honest. Jomashop is NOT Nordstrom. Not close. Sorry. Also, it feels like Hamilton prices on the gray market have been increasing. The [non-day-brother of this watch has been over $400 at Amazon for a while now](. I think. If you have [a Mr. Rugged Guy]( in your life who has cemented himself on the very, very nice list this year? Then perhaps this is the gift. I’d just make sure Nordy customer service knows it’s a gift for the holidays, and thus, you make sure they’re cool with [an extended return window](. That’s it. Maybe it’s worthy of a steal alert to you. Maybe it’s not. If it’s not? That’s okay! [Nothing matters anyway](.
