Well, I've been needing a watch fix lately, and came across a lot of info. about this watch so I decided to pick it up. I was also considering the Marathon TSAR, but this came in a hundred cheaper, auto and had a see-thru back....For some reason, I've really wanted to see what's going on inside the watch. ;D This one came with the ETA 2824 movement and the Marathon TSAR comes in quartz. I'm replacing the rubber strap with a nylon type and it's on it's way. I wanted to try a watch with a strap for a change. Here are some pic's, I'm really impressed with the watch and the packaging ain't bad either

I've got one of those - This is one of my favorite watches. Too bad I can't take credit for this photo - those kidos go to Kurt Adler over at WUS. Your pics are stunning - especially with that domed crystal. It's a bear to clear. Great job!

Cool how long have you had yours? Any problems? I just set it a few minutes ago to see how well it does overnight. I'm very impressed this far, especially for how much they sell for. Great bang for the buck. It's not a light weight, it's a big chunk of metal ;D Jeff
