My Marathon TSAR is back home in Canada getting refreshed. I can't wait for it to be done; it's my favorite watch.

How often do you get that done? I bought one last year based I think on your recommendation, if I’m not wearing my Phoenix6, I’m wearing my marathon.
The walkie-talkie feature works awesome. My girl and I have been using it alot.

It's the first time, actually. I've replaced the battery before, but the tritium is dead so it needs a new dial. hands, etc.
The one on the Apple Ultra II is pretty badass as well. Adjustable brightness with the crown, pretty standard I believe on any kind of this type. I really like the red light. As well as the light has a lot more brightness at max setting.The flashlight on the Garmin Phoenix 7 might be the greatest innovation in utility watches known to man!

It’s back from its vacation in the Great White North.
Love it, that NATO strap too.

What’s wrong with an orange strap?

Now, that TSAR combined with right place/right time enabled me to meet the president and AVP of Marathon Watch Co. at SHOT Show.
As it turns out, not only are the prez and I from the same neighborhood, but we went to the same elementary and high schools.
Serendipity is a motherfucker, right?

Old thread, but I have had a lifelong obsession with Breitlings. My dad and I are pilots, and growing up Flying magazine was always in the house. The ads for Breitling always made me want one. I am finally in a position to get one, and the wife has agreed for our 15 year anniversary. If anyone has any experience with a Navitimer, or a Breitling in General I’d love to hear it. I’ll post pics when I get it.

Congrats!!! In my younger days when I went on solo adventures I was obsessed with the Breitling Emergency watch; ridiculously out of my price range, but at the time I knew everything about them. Looking forward to seeing pics!

I barely wear this, the complication dials are a smidge too small for my eyes to see without glasses. I’m interested in selling if anyone is interested.

Yeah it is a splurge purchase for sure. I have an Apple Watch and a G-Shock now. So I’m going from 0-60 pretty hard

No experience, but pretty pissed I didn't buy their USVI edition at the corporate store on St Thomas. Duty-Free and 13 months interest free. I can't find any photos of them...so I need to get back there. My understanding is they have various limited editions at their corporate stores they're more rare, but also not the most high end ones. This is one I would like: Premier B01 Chronograph 42 - AB0145371L1A1 | Breitling
Currently obsessed with Towson Watch Company, but struggle to invest that much money into a time piece myself.

That is around the range I am in. I like the navitimer as it is the only one that still has wings.
