Welcome bidders! Griggs & Co is back with week 2 of our $1 vintage watch auction. We are excited to present to you a genuine vintage Timex Marlin from 1978 — an original-era example of the model whose clean, classic looks earned it a cult following and, decades later, a modern reissue. This is the real thing. The standout here is the dial: a bright silver sunburst that throws a clean radial shine, with applied baton hour markers and a framed date window at 3 o'clock. The acrylic crystal has been hand-polished and is clear. Slim hands, no clutter — the understated mid-century dress look that makes the Marlin such a staple. Housed in a 35mm gold-tone case on a brown leather strap that suits the period styling. Movement: Manual wind — give the crown a few turns and it runs. No battery needed. Confirmed running at time of listing with all three hands and a functioning date.
