... and it shows it. Bought in 91 as I saw Bill Clinton wearing it when he was the candidate. Paid $20 and served me quite well over 15 years. Wonderful watch. I wore for business, off time, all the time. Interestingly, at that time many wall street guys were wearing this model 
Right button has totally worn off.....
Since my watch hobby kicked in, this has been less and less worn, sadly. I replaced the strap more than a few times myself and changed the battery myself as well. Thanks to this thread, I will re-start wearing this. It's a fun, really beater watch.
And it turned out that Mr. Clinton was quite a watch collector and wearing this "humble" Timex was just a "pose" for the President campaign
Thank you!
