JOMW is Dropping a New Brand 7 Oct

Mido, though in fairness that wouldn't be the Mido I'd pick. I'd go for the Ocean Star Tribute.

commented on Tudor Ranger ok to swim with? ·

No, it's only rated to 100m... Never get anything less that 200m wet in even a light drizzle. 😜

If your Ranger breaks, Tudor will fix it for sure. There is no way a Ranger shouldn't be able to handle some swimming.

The dial is too busy for the sake of being busy, and the case is too polished...

Not all of us like the same things.

commented on Do i trade my San Martin for an SKX007 with box and papers? ·

You would be downgrading, just to get a name on your wrist.

The SKX is "iconic" because it was cheap... I wouldn't be surprised if San Martin is the darling of the watch community in 20 years.

I have a GSAR, and a standard Nav as well... I like them all.

I paid about that in in CAD, which isn't cheap, but it's not a basic quartz movement either.

Marathon is one of those brands where you are paying a premium for the name, and the reputation for quality that goes with it. Similar to how a Sinn 556 with a basic Sellita movement costs far more than many other Sellita powered watches.

Marathon would be a solid choice, particularly the SSNav. It has an ETA high accuracy quartz movement, and tritium tubes for lume.

Put it on a breathable nylon strap the the DEFSTAN Marathon sells, and you're set.

I wear mine on an Erika's Original MN, as I find them to be the most comfortable type of strap.
