    New Marathon arrival

    Hi!

    Been lusting for this for a while. When being informed there was a minty looking one with very low serial number from first batch I couldn't resist.
    Included was also the bracelet I've heard many great things about. Hardly used.

    Nice aesthetics!







    Looks ok but there is something missing...




    There we are!



    Great bracelet with nice relief effect due to tilting of middle link!

    Shall try it out for a couple of days now and try it out. Have probably to get used to the bubble. It is actually bothering me a bit making date visualisation harder :shock: :shock: :shock:
    Will maybe get used to the small size as well, after wearing Sumo and Chrono Avenger this seem pretty minuscule.

    Kindly
    /john

    Looks lovely... save for the cyclops which as you say makes it harder to read the date and also detracts from a cracking watch!

    Cracking watch, I've got a non-cyclops one that I'm rather fond of.

    First batch, you say - be careful not to lose the pip at twelve o'clock. AFAIK the first few batches had that problem. Perusing the internet will cough up more info about that, I'm sure. Countycomm and MWR can help with more info, if interested.

    I have a SAR from 2004. At this point they had worked most bugs out. Mine has had the cyclops removed as I can not stand the magnifier.

    A great watch. You can not go wrong with a SAR.

    cyclops what cyclops... :lol:

    great watch welcome to the club

    without doubt the easiest to read in a variety of light conditions

    the bracelet is real class

    but this is my much preferred combo

    A great catch! They are great watches, only ruined by that god damn awful cyclops. Congrats.
