Thanks guys... I've been looking at these for a while & found a good deal. Definitely a lot of watch for the money. Looks pretty good on a zulu strap as well...

The case is approx. 46mm & the bezel is just over 41mm. Marathon also makes a larger JSAR, but it has a quartz movement.

Ordered one of these from the local Rolex dealer. Should have it by Xmas. Probably not for everyday.

I bought this Seiko Superior a couple months back for 150.00. Since the snowstorm won't allow me to do much else, I photographed it. A real nice watch as are all Seikos.

I went to an Omega boutique the other day in AZ. The salesperson is telling me they are made in Geneva after I mentioned our company is down the street from Omega in Biel. "If they are made in Geneva, then what is that huge grey with red trim manufactory with the bus stop named Omega?” I said. He just looked at me with blank stare like I was nuts.

Anyone have a reliable watch winder? If so, where did you get it? I need to get one for my Tag but I am not sure about the quality of the ones on amazon or ebay but dont want to shell out 300 bucks for one in a store.
