Icon10 Need help from US based TRFers to purchase Marathon SAR

Hi Fellows,

I'm after a Marathon SAR, and been searching a few vendors with only CountyComm who currently stock them. Unfortunately, CountyComm don't ship overseas.

Would any US based TRF member help me to purchase and forward to me downunder?

No problem, Steve. The first pic is the Marathon SAR [now my son's] with the standard diving bezel insert. The second pic is my SAR with a GMT insert.

Try and send this guy a mail: [email protected] - he is a canadian by the name of Jeff Shier.

I found him on Ebay and purchased a brand new Marathon GSAR from him + an original Marathon bracelet. The service was outstanding and he is a really nice guy as well.

There should be a good chance, that he may have a SAR or knows where to get one !!

If you do, please be so kind as to send greenings from Peter from Denmark !
