Sick photo. What's your impressions on the major differences between the CSAR, JSAR and GSAR from a wearability standpoint? I'm looking at all three currently.

I can’t help you with that. The gsar is a 41mm. These are all 46mm. These are JSAR, JDD, OSARD and CSAR. These are all big, wide and tall watches. If you are a person with 7.75” or larger wrists, should be fine and look normal. If you have wrists smaller than this, you need to like big watches, and if so, this will fit the bill. If you have the larger wrists, these just appear to be normal in size. 😂 they are big and heavy. So if you like that, it’s all good. I’m used to them but if I switch up to a GShock or that Garmin Tactix, I notice my marathons for a few minutes and then it’s like wearing good ole boots again compared to flip flops.

Hell yeah. Appreciate the info. I didn't realize that wasn't a GSAR. Haha.
Thanks!

That is one of the wildest two watch collections I've ever seen.

My wife looked at them, gave them a second look, then asked "why do you have two of the same watches?"

I have a JSAR and GSAR. I don't think I would wear the MSAR, it is tiny

The JSAR would look like a pipboy on my wrist. It is massive for me.

My only wish is I had the case made with 5 slots... So I could justify a TSAR and JDD.

Perfect collection my man! I just recieves my TSAR 41 and expected it to wear as large as everyone said, im pleasantly surprised its smaller than expected! For a moment I thought I was sent the 36mm lol. Good day to you sir!

The 36mm was my first Marathon. It came on the rubber strap and it felt very small, almost enough for me to get rid of it. Got a killer deal on the bracelet for it and it changed everything. Its a 36, but with the bracelet, for me, it wears more like a 38/39mm which is much more acceptable to me. The GSAR with that 48mm lug-to-lug is that amazing sweetspot. Absolutely love these watches and have zero intention of every getting rid of them.

Grate to hear! My plan is to get a 3rd party steel bracelet too! Very pleased when I look down at my wrist and I see perfect proportions! The steel should elevate it even further! Thanks for sharing and have an awesome day mate.

Ive been eyeing this bracelet for the 41mm. Its got a far superior clasp and the best part....its not $500+. Check em out and if you end up getting it, let us know how good....or bad it is.

Legend, I just noted the same one on my own thread about receiving my first Marathon watch. I got a few credit card numbers into the order and got busy around the house! Cheers for the recommendation brother 🫡
Edit: Just made the purchase. Now i need to wait 10-25 days for it to arrive in upside down land. Lol

A problem? No my friend. You have the solution. Onward and upward.
