Aug -21 The 3rd Defender of an edition of 25 is sold - given the economy I do not expect people to buy watches that fast - this will be the last edition the making of the metal bezel alone is prohibitively expensive. Aug - 2 - Yes the Maratac Nato bands in all colors and sizes are in stock NOW do not wait as last time when there was a massive sell out something we never have seen perhaps the quality and the price of only 12.00 per strap had something to do with it?

Next month Marathon sar family is going up in price due to the worldwide increase in quality steel! crazy huh? so save some money if you thought you would order one and order now Apr-4 Tax season will slow down our response time till the 15th be patient with us - the most popular seller has been the 3077 and the orange version is a winner. People are more than pleased with it - same continues to be true for the Mirage III Chronograph - whose price has not changed for a bit and is a great competitor with the Sinn 103 - Mar - 18 Carbon Fiber bands have been selling well altho not Hirsch - excellent quality and the price is not Hirsch either - all Hirsch bands are now made in China! Feb 10 Well out of SAR-D watches sorry - those who missed may have missed a collectible expect to see them on ebay in not too long way over what I sold them for People who did not buy a SAR-D I think missed a chance at a possible collectible but if you have waited for this watch your wait is over and it is every bit as nice as you remember - anyone can put an eta movement in a case - but to build a case and bezel like this one takes real dedication and artistry along with devotion to the tool watch concept These always sell and then people ask why are there no more? Nov 4 - I have been fortunate to receive 3 Etienne Schwarz chronographs with screw down pushers and crown in ss made by Venus watch in Chaud du Fonds. Well known in Europe but not in the US these watches give tremendous bang for your buck and excellent craftsmanship of modified movement and case and bracelet materials.
