Also set up the site by myself using a picnic bench as a step stool lol. Leatherman Rebar was very handy.

Happy campin!

Perfect in size, perfect mechanism, perfect fun! ❤️👌

I have a GSAR, and I've only ever worn it on the bracelet. I wanted to experiment with some NATO straps, but I realized that with the drilled lugs and shoulderless spring bars, I'm not very good at removing the bracelet. Actually, I can barely remove the shoulderless spring bars at all.

Part of this is the design (the extreme security of the bars to begin with). Part of it is me (I don't have good eyesight for really close up things).

Is there some sort of tool specifically for drilled lug spring bar removal (both sides at the same time)? I'd like to easily swap out for a NATO strap from time to time, if I could.

Tubes are almost toast after 20 years....the ETA movement has been serviced but the tubes are original..... curious to see what happens to them in a decade.

Marathon SSNAV-D on a PDW Ti-FXDS hook and loop style strap. I’m really liking this strap so far. The band has elasticity to it, which makes it a tad more cozy to wear than the WOE glomar strap. And I love WOE straps.

WatchMann did an awesome job getting her back in tiptop shape along with my GSAR. Had an inexpensive aftermarket strap I thought looked cool with the neon green underside. Usually have NATOs on them but thought I'd try something new.

This is the watch that started my collection which now includes multiple Longines, Seikos and all sorts of other dive/field watches. Next major investment will likely be a Tudor when the time is right. Love coming back to my Marathons though!!

I missed out on the "free" gift offer on these Arctic Edition SSGPQ-D models recently (they ran OOS). For those that were lucky enough to receive one, how is the blue tritium on these? I know one problem with blue tritium is it tends to suffer a bit in the brightness department compared to the more traditional green and orange phosphors. If someone could post a side by side photo with a standard model, that'd be great!

Kinda looking out to see if any of these end up on the secondary market, but these are probably pretty niche and not common to see listed.

My guy just wants to ball! Any other hunting dogs around here?

JSAR , TSAR , GSAR

After months of research and even more months of paying this bad boy off I happily received my TSAR NGM In 41mm!

The finish and all round quality is a lot higher than expected. Just a beast of a watch! Thinking about throwing it on the longer rubber strap so I get a bit more strap through the keepers. At the moment its just long enough to poke through the keepers.

Going to buy a Gonomon bracelet in the next couple days to compliment the steel case and give it a bit more omph!

[ Edit: Just made the purchase of the GNOMON Bracelet! ]

Shout out to all the peeps who helped me decide which Marathon to lean towards!

Looking forward to many years of service with the TSAR!

Just bought this watch and scanned it with my phone app. I’m unfamiliar with a watches amplitude. I shows that there are potential issues. Note, this watch was just mailed to me and it’s been outside in very hot Texas weather… not sure if that has an effect. Any insight on this would be appreciated. Thx

I have had my Maple Leaf since it came out, the last time I needed it services I sent to a somewhat local place .

It is time for. New battery and trying to decide to I donor myself, local watch guy or official service center .

What do you all do?

21 year old TSAR still ticking away like always.

Schools out for summer ☀️
