Martyd3 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 I have one incoming. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow. It's one diver I that have never owned, but I have always wanted one. Marty
Ztech Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Owned the MM for a short time. It's a great watch. Just shouts quality. One thing that didn't make her a keep in my book was the bracelet. I wish they'd put a 24mm on that thing. If they did I'd put her on a short list. Great watch at any price! Enjoy and make sure to post up some pics!
chris5264 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 congrats,,,been on my list a LONG time...but no luck yet....the only neg review I've read is that the screw down crown is somewhat less than what one would expect...seems to rate high on all other things..

Ztech Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 What size bracelet is carrying ?? A 22mm or a weird 21mm or something ?? I am asking cause I am thinking of getting one. Ifmy memory serves it was a 20mm.
AMK000 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 Ifmy memory serves it was a 20mm. That's small , isn't it ??
Ztech Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 That's small , isn't it ?? It actually wears very well with the 20mm bracelet. Just like any Rolex does, but it's my personal preference for wider bracelets. I think if the MM had say a 24mm, or even a 22mm, bracelet it would sit on the wrist better. Just my personal preference though. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, but I didn't end up keep her and sold the watch. I'm regretting everr haveing sold it thoughl.

I agree with Ztech, the watch wears well with the 20 mm bracelet. My preference would be for a 22 mm bracelet, but that might upset the balance of the watch by making the lugs look too thin. Just my $0.02 ...
Panther917 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 So Marty....How are you liking that MM after a few weeks? How does it wear?
Martyd3 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Posted April 4, 2010 So Marty....How are you liking that MM after a few weeks? How does it wear? I ended up flipping it, but it wore well. I had problems justifying a $1500 Seiko
Luna Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 ...the only neg review I've read is that the screw down crown is somewhat less than what one would expect...seems to rate high on all other things.. I seem to remember a problem was that the crown tube was part of the case, and not replaceable if the thread stripped.
HauteHippie Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 I have been wanting either a marinemaster or Marathon SAR to send to avitt for some DLC treatment. Proabably the SAR though, since it has a familiar movement that comes out the back of the case unlike the Seiko.
maxman Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 I seem to remember a problem was that the crown tube was part of the case, and not replaceable if the thread stripped. That would be exceptable on a $100.00 or so. But on a watch that cost $1500.00, no way (ps) To be fair, Seikos are bullit proof, I have had two cheeper models and they will not die no matter how hard I am on them, tough watch

Proabably the SAR though, since it has a familiar movement that comes out the back of the case unlike the Seiko. I've been waiting for a Marinemaster 600 (spring drive) to crop up at the right price. If anyone sees one at a decent price, I'm interested.
