The guy is so tough he doesn’t even need a watch. He just decides what time it is, and does it when he wants.

[@Ryusuta]

Screw the watch - that guy is the toughest bastard I've seen!

[@joellafargue9882]

And former (thank God!) President Trump is the slimiest shit bastard I've ever seen!

@@joellafargue9882 I agree, but this was a weird reply to the comment.

Mexican cliff diving tournaments were a semi-staple feature of Wide World of Sports on ABC. Even as a kid I thought those guys were nuts.

Semper fidelis 🦅🌍⚓ 3/3/3 including Delta special Forces and the Lancers Air tactical command approves of this time piece 👍👍‼️

[@bakerd99]

It really takes a licking and keep ticking. Back in the mid-70s my mother's apartment building burned down. Next day she and my siblings go through the rubble to check for anything that can be saved. Lo and behold, under all that mess they find her Timex watch, and it was still ticking. True story.

[@jrridd5747]

Wow...this guy sold a lot of time watches...wi grew up with him in the 1960's and 70's

[@briandd27]

I got the reissue of the Marlin as an early Christmas gift. I love it!

[@stemikger]

Me too. Awesome watch that brings back memories of my Grandfather.

[@violinmke]

It's really hard to believe this little vintage Marlin I have would survive the rain let alone a cliff dive.

[@brianfuller5868]

My first watch was a Timex, and I wear an Ironman Triathlon T5K692 daily.

[@JayJonahJaymeson]

Fuck the jump, the watch survived while he was being thrown around the rocks.

If I will ever be a cliff diver, I will buy a TIMEX!

[@jacksugden8190]

I’ve got loads dating back from 1953, good watches if serviced and looked after well.

[@ericdreizen1463]

Great! But Mr Swayze omitted the Timex slogan "Takes a licking & keeps on ticking!" I guess they WEREN'T ABOUT TO ASK RAUL FOR TAKE TWO! UH HUHHH!!!

[@DavidLouisLouis-qh9ni]

When I was in the United States Marine Corps during Combat, ALL I can say " it takes a licking and keeps on ticking 👍" God bless Timex watch Made in the United States of America David Staudohar USMC USN SS USCG ret ‼️ Trump team executive member #1140103

When companies advertised based on quality ... now they just get a celebrity to pretend to use their products.

[@u571_hg]

Nope they did that back then. And they do not boast about celebrities wearing a timex but that technique has been out since the early Hollywood days 1910s its watch collector magazines doing it not timex. Timex is still better. What with you and other obsessed about then when its actually gotten better. People like me and other Timex watch owners agree there high quality if they got a real Timex not a fake Temu one. A load of people are satisfied with New Modern Timex watches.

[@StopFear]

RAUL GARCIA!!!

[@MarkFriedman-qi4cz]

Neither of the watch, the diver, nor John Cameron Swayze could’ve survived The crime and drug ridden capital of Mexico. What a shame!

[@HelpIveBeenShot]

My sphincter tightened a little when Raul hit the water.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Kinda pudgy for a champion high diver.
