This watch used to be 50€ (40£) a few years ago.

I don't feel it, mainly the dial, it's just too flat, has no texture, feels like a printed sticker on a piece of cardboard.

I got this one after returning a faulty Timex Expedition Scout on Vinted, and I like it less. Even though the dial on the Timex wasn't much more textured, maybe it looked better cause it was bigger on a black background ?

Thinking of returning the Lorus and getting a Timex Expedition Field Post Solar instead.

Vinted 30€, malheureusement je doit la renvoyer, elle retarde trop et la date ne fonctionne pas. Le design et les couleurs du cadran sont excellentes par contre, c'est ce qui m'a fait pencher.

La différence de prix en neuf Europe 75€ et USA 40$ est dingue par contre.

This is a Timex Expedition I bought from Vinted, got it really nasty and cleaned it well. There's those little black spots on the surface, they're each a little hollow. Reminds me of the marks rust taken off with vinegar leaves behind.

Anything I can do to remove them ?

I will end up coating the whole thing with linseed oil to protect it after it's all cleaned.
