Very cool.Who is the maker of the watch?
Hey Chris:
It's a Marathon type 2 mechanical. It was an issue watch and pretty has only sentimental value any more as its tritium tubes are pretty faded, it doesn't hack and the issue band barely fits around my wrist.
There was a close cousin company (sorry about the alliteration there) called Stocker and Yale, who made very similar watches. I don't know if Stocker is still in the game but Marathon is still making a number of very cool military timepieces, including the SAR, GSAR, MSAR, TSAR, JSAR and the holy of holies, the CSAR.
CSAR:

Thx, they did not get the contract but it was fun, I sold my last mech. SAR when the ebay prices went off the wall, I do have some bracelet links if you know of anyone that has a need.

I will keep it in mind. My Marathons were all issue (all two of them). Links and such are always useful.
Are you affiliated with Countycomm by any chance?
I know Rick well.
Good guy, fun company to deal with. It's too bad --but completely understandable-- that they won't ship to Canada
Anyway, that is a couple of beautiful watches you have there.

Thx John
I will not ship watches to canada either, is sad but had two tied up in customs for months.
The rules are funny, if you send a watch to the U.S for repair, I can send it back to you no problem.
Is some sort of extra tax i think canada wants to collect from the buyer.
Also I found out the hard way about when filling out the export papers you do not fudge and say the watch is going back after a repair, we lost a 3K watch that way and I got a really nasty letter about it.
