Compared within this brand.
| E Line 1983 Automatic Watch: Choose this if you want a retro-inspired automatic watch: it has a three-hand automatic movement with a date window at 3 o'clock, a 35 mm gold-tone cushion-shaped stainless steel case, and a sunburst gold dial with slim baton hands. The integrated mesh-like stainless steel expansion-style band with a single-fold deployment clasp suits wearers who prefer a bracelet that slips on without a traditional buckle, and the watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM. Note this listing is offered in one size in gold only, and one Reddit commenter observed the turquoise dial was not re-issued in a recent release of this line.[1,2,3] | Marlin® Manual Movement Watch: Choose this if you want a reissue of a 1960s Timex with a hand-wound mechanical movement in a compact 34 mm stainless steel case on a black 18 mm leather strap—ideal for wearers who appreciate vintage sizing and enjoy the daily winding ritual. Its accuracy is reported well within daily wear expectations, though one reviewer found the slightly undersized crown and thin strap stitching less than ideal.[4,5,6,7,8] | Q-Timex® 1982 Watch: Choose this if you want a vintage-style hybrid watch that combines a three-hand quartz analog display with a small digital LCD window, plus alarm and stopwatch functions. The 33 mm stainless steel case in silver, with a 16 mm mesh-like stainless steel band with locking clasp and tempered glass, pairs with the retro 1982 look; it comes in one size and includes a signature storage case. Note it is water-resistant to 3 ATM only, so keep it out of swimming and submersion.[9] |

White dial version dropped, turquoise not reissued
Looks like they dropped the white dial version of the 1983 line this morning. They did not re-issue the turquoise dial on this draw, I guess
