Just received a May 2006 contract Marathon SAR 300m

Hello fellow members I just received a BNIB Marathon SAR from the May 2006 contract and wanted to share it with you guys. I was lucky enough to deal with Jim Madrid who was the government machinist for this watch so it made sense that if anyone would have some BNIB dead stock available it would be him

I have to mention Jim was a professional in every aspect in the sale and highly recommend him.

Now to the watch, I have to say that I am very pleased with the build and quality of this watch. IMO it was worth every penny. I recently added the Marathon US stamped bracelet and like many have said before, the bracelet is of excellent quality and comfort. Enjoy the pics everyone. Cheers.

Well done, David. Without doubt, the clean dial SAR is the best looking of all the Marathons.
Wearing mine today as well.
Congrats and enjoy,

Had mine on a zulu but after seeing your pics I had to install the solidly bulit bracelet.

Lovely watch.
The SAR looks so big on your wrist I thought it was a JSAR for a second!
