Trying to reduce my collection, but..........

when I got the chance to aquire one of these, well I just couldn't resist. It is a Marathon TSAR 2008 contract and have it for nearly a week now, and have to say the majority of the others have not had a look in.

41mm across the case, 46mm inc crown, high torque Swiss quartz movement - which after a week is accurate to the second. It is a little taller than my others and took a little while to get used to, but it is very comfortable. The bracelet is a work of engineering art and as well as the usual US Government clasp the watch came with a brand new pristine Maple Leaf clasp. The tritium tubes glow like a torch all night and dead easy to read in the dark.

Without further a do, some pictures -






For the money - circa £350 it is one of the best, hard as nails, grab it and go watches that you can buy - well, in my opinion anyway.

CmdrBond - Slightly off-topic, but which aircraft did the ASI come from?

I have no idea unfortunatley - I got it for a few quid from a shop in Lincoln purely for photographic purposes.

The shop has all kinds of junk - ASI's, Altimeter's, Oil pressure gauges and other items that I don't know what they are. How the guy does a stock take is anyones guess.

If you ever find yourself in Lincoln, walk out of the town centre up Steep Hill (appropriate name BTW) and on your right at the bottom just as the gradient starts to get steeper is the shop with all these items in the window.
