A real 'tool watch'...

Canadian Coast Guard SAR (search and rescue) aka CSAR watch made by HoroSwiss Watch Co Switzerland for Marathon.  

Bead blasted 316L, 200MWR tested, ETA 2824-2, dive extension, thick MG crystal, composite bezel, 'Maraglow' lume, double O ring nsd crown, screw back.

This model is long out of production making them very hard to find, especially NOS.  Lucky me!

'Maraglow' is the Marathon name for Super Luminova, still used in some models. 

 

Here is a current model with H3 lume tubes:

No wristies today, only piccies. 

Why?

Let's try Rolex again. I'm still trying to love Rolex, for years... it's a nice watch, but that's all I'm feeling

I know what you mean.  I’ve had black dial exp2 and polar sold both after 6 months or so.
 

    cool watches but not in love.    I think it’s the bezel maybe

All original steel with dark blue dial Universal Geneve Polerouter III on UG signed bracelet (micro rotor)...

image.thumb.jpeg.154163b66b4e2d223cb4dfd436bc0f13.jpeg

Paid $50 for it in 90% condition Thursday August 22, 1996.  

Watch prices back then are hard to believe compared to today. 

The internet and eBay killed trading days and low prices.
