tgv used to mention this brand on his channel about the company brand name heritage

supplied to military or navy in usa if not wrong.. quality should be good but I once did a research on the pricing is higher than microbrands and not easily attainable outside of usa.

Yep, I really wanted it for my GADA piece, but the pricing was a turn off.

Marathon supplies to some military in US and Canada, might be UK as well but I can't remember. They are famous for the quartz piece, NOT their auto piece.

Another great feature is their tritium so the lume should be awesome.

Their Pilot's Navigator should be cheap now, around usd 140 or so.

I think it's 44mm bro....not too big lah. They've been getting very good reviews.

I feel the marathon at 40-41 is a bit small tho but since its such a bargain I'm willing to overlook the size  😁

for my 6" small wrist 44mm is super huge laugh.gif

my biggest piece is 40mm with short lugs and my fav sweet spot is 38mm

My fav among those seiko listed above would be the samurai...how much is it going for now?

I like the samurai too but feels kinda tall on my wrist when I tried on my friend's piece

depending on the model which I believe is around rm1100-1300ish which is an absolute bargain

Lazada?!  🤔 
When it comes to buying watches or anything that costs more than a few hundred ringgit, I'd avoid buying online. No confident lah... Lol!! Unless COD

buy based on past purchases review from other buyers

if the price seems right and not dodgy then usually it is safe to proceed with the purchase smile.gif
