Re: Help me choose a new watch
Man, there's nothing like a good Marathon. I snagged one for a buddy and he's work it for 4 years now. Worked on cars, etc. Just an awesome, awesome watch.
I think one may end up with me someday anyway.

That is the ONE reason I held back. I must have owned 10 of them or more and flipped them. LOL

I think eight. Derek and Willy each have one and Dr. Jay bought one for his son. 8 out 100 is pretty good for a wee little forum like ours.chris7013 wrote:So how many SAS's does the DWC have now? At least 4 in this post alone. Can't wait to see mine.

Re: Help me choose a new watch
Somehow I typed six and then the number 8. It is good that you kept one for yourself GraemeGraeme wrote:I have one tooCGSshorty wrote:I think six.

Re: Help me choose a new watch
How does it wear on the different kinds of straps: bracelet, leather or Zulu?
Nervous that it's top heavy.

Re: Help me choose a new watch
I have only worn it briefly on the Zulu and the bracelet, because I don't really love either of them, but it is not at all top heavy on leather or the Isofrane. I have never worn the stock rubber. The Helson Sharkmaster I had was roughly the same size and weight but I found it to be very top heavy, which is the main reason I sold it.

LOL!
I like the one with my folk's Timex lineup. They like to brag that mine doesn't have Indiglo. So, maybe on the next SAS watch, Graeme?
