    @FlavourFade 🙏 we are a few days in, no supplementary manual winds, and about +30seconds, so I’m taking that as a win!

                  @Mizmazzle It’s a solid watch! It doesn’t keep good time anymore, but it ran really well for a few years.

                    Gift from my friend for being best man at his wedding. Love the blue and turquoise, he mentioned that he chose it to compliment my indigo wardrobe 👌

                        @T4920 love a turtle. I wish they made a mini turtle that was exactly the same just smaller tho. I’d get one but they’re just a hair too big for me, even with fairly thick wrists

                          I brushed my Ray 2. Not perfect but it work for me because it was scratched up anyway and this makes it look more “worky”, which I like and works well with the more glossy lumed sapphire bezel insert. Really digging the mods. Looks aight with the SBG too

                            @WhiskeySandwich I wasn't familiar with the style before receiving the gift... It was a bold call buying someone as particular as myself a watch without prior consultation, but I'm happy to say he nailed it.

                            It didn't strike me as particularly large to begin with, but just compared it to a Tissot watch I've had stored away meaning to get serviced, and it really is quite a unit!

                                @jevans41 I don’t have hands on experience. But I’ve heard from lots of places about how good they are. True mil spec and the people who run the company seem to be cool. The Grey NATO podcast always shouts out Marathon.

                                  I forgot to mention they have Swiss movements too (auto & quartz)...

                                    As I mentioned before, the guys on my favorite watch related podcast both love Marathon. Their recent episode is an interview with the President of the company. I figured I’d share it here:

                                    “This week, with the Toronto Timepiece Show just days away, we thought it would be fun to finally have a chat with Mitchell Wein, President of Marathon Watch Company. Marathon is a Canadian-owned watch and accessory business that is known all over the world for supplying everything from watches to clocks and other gear to a variety of governments and military outlets. Mitchell talks about the history of Marathon in Canada and Switzerland, what it’s like to make the jump from government contracts to end-user commercial sales, and even the brand’s recent collaboration with Jeep – and something of a tease for an announcement that will be made for the Toronto Timepiece Show.”

                                      @T4920 i happened by a store that stocked the Turtle, and tried one on again. It had the rubber strap on it and i was really surprised that it was extremely comparable to my 41.5mm Orient. I guess 3.5mm isn't much bigger, but the Seiko wears it a bit better. My only concern is kinda dumb - how would it be on a Nato strap, since I exclusively rock those and not a 2-piece. Might have to get one to find out....

                                        @WhiskeySandwich I can see it looking great on a colour matched NATO strap, or even a black and white one to match the bezel!
