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.

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


GSAR Maple Leaf

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.
