Ok, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but among us Timexicans, what are the BEST vintage Timexes? It doesn't have to be 10, it can be more or less, but I would love to see the Best of the Best of the Best! Sir!

Pics are a MUST!

A couple of things...

Firstly, when trying to adjust the time it feels like there are some teeth missing from one of the gears so the crown just seems to slip. Also the hour hand rubs of the watch face which now has a few marks at the 12 o'clock position. I thought best not to make it worse until I can get it fixed.

For me it has to be these for scarcity. I have others I would pick for other reasons.

1980 Olympics

Subjective, but...

Most of us would agree the 14K Dorado is on the list. Here's one of mine:

Some are considered the "best" because they bring top dollar like this Ben Hogan:

But my favorite (even over the Dorado's) has always been this backset with a 10K RGP case. I just love the dial and it fits so comfortable on my wrist:

A few more of my favorites. Some are cool ones that everyone may like, some are ones that just catch my eye.... Enjoy!
