: If I'm in the wrong place, please direct me.
: But I'm guessing some folks here can help me
: out.

: I'm looking for a $500 to $1000 watch that can
: handle water like my 2531.80 and w/
: attributes of the Casio G-Shock. Finding
: some military watch sites which are
: fascinating, and in particular, came across
: the Marathon SAR. (Okay, yeah, it looks a
: lot like the Sean Connery Rolex, and I admit
: that's an interest.)

: There is a new quartz version that holds no
: interest to me. Automatic chronometer
: version still available, w/ and w/o the
: "cyclops" lens to magnify the
: date. Comes on a band of some sort, but has
: a bracelet. I'd probably switch it out to
: NATO band. I understand it is a heavy, thick
: watch, altho would appreciate any thoughts
: on how that might compare to my Seamaster.

: Looking to discuss this further. If there are
: forums, and an OEM site w/ specifications,
: I'm really interested in that as well. Maybe
: you like something better, based on
: "needs" I've described. I bike,
: kayak, and do some beach stuff on Michigan
: lakes during the summer. Maintaining a
: second "knock about" SMP doesn't
: feel right to me (altho you may tell me that
: anything less would be a mistake).

: Thanks in advance....

I believe that www.pmwf.com has got some pics about this watch....

Maybe they'll be more helpful about the SAR.
