Great watches and I believe great value for money (well most of them anyway).

The SAR. One of the best diver watch I have. Great design and ease of use.

The Pilot Automatic. For what it is, great value for money.

beats getting a swatch for that price.  :thumbsup:

The quality of the dial or the lume? The dial quality is not bad. The lume is good, not as bright as Luminova but last longer.

Hobbit, I can see that your yet-to-be shown watches will appear from underneath the sheet from time to time. ;D How many pieces do you own actually, and have all of them been shown here? If they've not, I guess maybe now is the time.  :thumbsup:

By the way, I've long been eyeing Marathon. Are they available in Malaysia? These are my favourites:

GSAR

Manburg,

I don't think that they are available in Malaysia. I believe the only way to get them is on-line. There are a couple of sites that sells them. Some do deliver International and some that only send the Marathon and not the Maratac Pilot. The one I have is an issued piece from the 2005 contract. As for my collection, I have a small collection of watches. I believe most of them are already on the forum in various threads.

I'm looking for the GSAR too. Too bad they are hard to come by this region.
