Some may remember I was going to have my son choose a watch from 3 out of my collection. He said he wanted me to choose and would love it even more because it was my choice. One [Hammy chrono], had no chance. The other 2 [Oris TT I Worldtimer, Marathon SAR] would fit his needs better but which one?

Couldn't decide.

Finally figured out the reason I couldn't decide was I really wanted to keep the SAR [can you hear me Paulie?]. BUT it's the season of giving, he needed a tough watch, and it had features he would use.
So his new watch is the Marathon SAR [hell, he'll probably get the Oris on his birthday anyway

].
He loves it and was interested in the Marathon history.

Great pics, Dan. I can see you're wearing your GMT on Jubilee; but what's on your son's wrist?

That thing is the king of lume. My buddy used to take it off on patrol because it was too bright, and the bad guys might see it.

I'll bet it shines even brighter on your son's wrist.

Lume? You got that right!

Paulie,
It was a tough decision.

Maybe I'll have to get the CSAR chrono to make up for it.
