I am sorry to hear that James it looks like a great piece but I do understand about one aspect causing a let down. At the very least you tried it versus always wondering.

I received my TX watch today and have to be honest about it. See post 3 above to see the model I got

1) It is an amazing watch. The features are vast and it is truly a fine time piece. The dial and face are stunning and have a lot of positive features. The LUM is very bright. The packaging is first class and very stylish (much more then other brands)

2) The rubber strap is the most comfortable rubber strap I have ever worn, including all Zodiac watches. This feels almost like a bracelet and has one of the most sturdy buckles I have seen.

3) The problem is that it is just to small. It wears "smaller" then it's listed size due to the shape of the case and the curve of the rubber strap. I am sure many people would love this watch beyond question and it would be a "large" watch for them, but for me it just wont get worn.

I believe I have a private buyer who works with me so it will probably be gone quickly. If not I will be selling it here. It is a very very nice watch, just not for me.

Amazing how you can be totally excited about receiving a watch, and then you have that let down moment.

I will say that TX watches clearly make VERY HIGH QUALITY watches and if you are happy with 44-46mm size you will love them.

i actually really like tx watches. i own a 700 series similar to the one you got and did not like but on a bracelet. i have yet to really find a watch brand with the variety of features that the tx watches have. good brand.

I had seen them already at a store here in the Houston area...a jewelry store near me carries them. They looked nice, but wear small. Kind of like my Helix..looks nice but wears small. I like myHelix alot though...as it is a great beater watch. I am using it when Iplay golf...its a perfect sports watch...which is what it is anyway. It also gets worn when I work outdoors in my garden...with a screw down crown, I don't worry about it getting wet when I ampressure washing the porch or the driveway.

Thanks for the Update. I have been looking at TX for some time, but just don't spring for Qtz watches that often.

My problem these days is a Shrinking Wrist. Have 7.25" Smallish wrist destined to be smaller in the future due to weight loss for health reasons. I find Mariann Chases 40mm Chronos from years ago are a great fit. Imagine that. 47mm just about does it on the other end. Anything larger is Clownish, uncomfortable, and looks like a pizza on my arm!

These may be a good fit. Thanks again.

Clark - my opinion on TX watches has gone back and forth. A year or so ago I got a 300 model on rubber and it really really wore smaller then the listed size. I was not happy and sold it.

Recently I picked up a 700 series on a full bracelet and I am VERY VERY happy with it. It screams well made and is a super nice watch. I agree that these can be pricey quartz watches, but with all of the features they pack into each of these I consider them almost hybrid watches. You can see full thread on this model I got here - http://www.watchfreeks.com/view_topic.php?id=11753&forum_id=32

This was VERY encouraging for me!! "wears smaller"...perfect for my dainty little wrist size.

Reason: I'm in a mild bidding war over at [email protected]! for a TX T3C326 in black, rose gold on leather attachment. Knowledge is power!

The piece is fully feature equipped and well executed. My reservations were about the fit & feel of what sounds/looks like a large watch (see below); not so much anymore.

I have had the same thing happen in reverse, where the watch is too large, too thick in the caseor too weighty to be comfortable for day-long use.

Thanks James, your "let down" experience wasof benefit to me.

If I win the auction, I'll try a review of the TX from a first time buyer standpoint since I've not owned a watch of this brand before.

hahaha - my "let down" experience led me about a year later to the TX 730 series I posted above! I love the TX I have now!

Can't wait to see yours when you get it.
