I've read in another forum that the 2006 contract SAR is the last production run.

The TSAR [tritium tubes, quartz] and GSAR [tritium tubes, auto] are both still in production as are the JSAR [jumbo quartz] and CSAR [jumbo chrono, auto].
So if you own the classic SAR with the clean dial, date @ 3:00, and cyclops, or want one get it fast cause they ain't makin' any more.

Might have to change the status of my SAR from beater to classic.

Thanks, Jeremy!!

The bezel makes it even rarer.
Maybe I can trade it for a Paul Newman Daytona in a few years.

Amazing pics as always, Dan.

Like I said, you can make any watch look good......and I do mean any watch - even some of those unmentionables on those you-know-what-kinda-straps-I'm-talking-about!!

I have debated a long time about these marathon watches...specifically the CSAR.....
But I just think it may be just too big.....love it though....it would be a good beater.

What do you think...?????

Dan Pierce · 8 October 2009, 03:47 AM

Sure like the idea of the CSAR. The 7750 is my favorite chrono movement.

But I worry that either the size is way too big OR that I'd like the size and it would ruin all my other watches.

Plus...it would probably get all banged up.....????
However, I may have an opportunity to get it for 50% off through a "military friend".....decisions.....decisions....??????
I like the SAR, but I do NOT like the new ones with the "US Government" stamped on it.

Dr.B · 8 October 2009, 04:27 AM

I wonder how many people on here have Marathon watches....?

Omega_Precision · 10 October 2009, 09:10 AM

Definitely a classic .

eagle_lex · 10 October 2009, 02:28 PM

hurry up guys and get a SAR. Dan and i know the guy to buy it from too! Dan- when we getting that drink?

Terry Newton · 10 October 2009, 04:02 PM

I have the DSAR and the SAR Automatic. They are both bulletproof watches.

eagle_lex · 11 October 2009, 05:25 AM

the DSAR and SAR are sweet. i also love teh GMT IIC. im jonesing for either a GMT IIc stainless or a Daytona. not sure where the obsession for the Daytona came from but i woke up the other day and wanted it. i guess its a classic that will hold its value at least.

Dr.B · 12 October 2009, 12:00 PM

Having the hardest time deciding on the MARATHON CSAR or SAR.
Any comments.......?

That's been my dilemma too.

Dr.B · 12 October 2009, 01:02 PM

Maybe I will buy them both, and then sell the one I don't want since I can prob. get them at a discount.......

eagle_lex · 13 October 2009, 06:25 AM

i say get teh SAR. cleaner look and more doable size (for me anyway). plus the SAR is much more affordable.

Sounds like solid advice...

wsaraceni · 13 October 2009, 07:01 AM

where can you find these for sale?

gkanga · 18 October 2009, 01:14 PM

http://www.broadarrow.net/sale.htm

I have a GSAR:

Lousy picture I know, maybe I'll try to take some nice ones some day.

If you decide to get one, the bracelet is worth every penny, and probably a lot more. The rubber strap they come with is also very nice, and of course they go great with Zulu straps, too.

And gkanga, nice GSAR.

The OEM bracelet is rock solid. These watches are great candidates for nato straps too.
