Buyers for the James Brand Timex don’t care much about historical link ties, horological rarity, or brand legacy. They're looking for a watch that they can confidently wear in the field link and treat like they would treat all the other tools in their link quiver, be it a knife or a flashlight.

Today a Tank Louis 78086 can be found for anywhere from 6500 to 10000 give or take depending on condition. These aren't rare watches search the internet right now and you can find at least a link few available but it's best to hold out for one in good condition. That means no cracks or serious spotting on the enamel dial a case link that hasn't been link chewed up or polished to death and hopefully one where the pieces all "make sense" together.
