It depends on what you want. If you're looking for an everyday beater, I'd get a Marathon watch. If you're looking for style, well, your options are endless.

He's not going to get it for less than $350... hard to find even at that price.

Try saving up a little more and get a TSAR - that's my next watch for sure.

These things are REALLY tough. Also, avoid the JSAR at all costs, unless you're only going to use it for diving (That thing is MASSIVE, and would look ridiculous on a bare wrist).

Yeah, maybe. But watching the used forums like a hawk will occasionally produce some real winners.

Ka-boom, the TSARs look killer on the various zulu straps you can get. I personally prefer the "Watchadoo" bracelet you can get on eBay for $30-ish.

There is some misunderstanding, I dont even know why I said a price.

All I was asking, was if Skagen is globally a respected name or are they up there with Casio and Timex as 'dime a dozen' watches? Thats all.

 

[roastpuff]

In most horology forums they are on a similar level, yes.

Skagen isn't a good brand, imo.

Somebody say TSAR? Put mine on a Watchadoo bracelet. The Marathon bracelet is nice, but I'm too frugal to pay $140 for one.

You and I think alike. Here's my GSAR:

Don't like the fact that there is quite a large gap between the end lug and the case, aside from that, MONEY!

It's natural air conditioning, which helps sometimes.

Damn, I really want that watch! I'm going to graduate from my General Issue to a TSAR after I'm done University. Personally, I'd take a Marathon watch over an Omega and a Rolex. It's high quality at a low cost, and I like how it's relatively unknown.

It's also a plus when they're one of the few companies that still uses Tritium dials!

Nice watch.

But talk about "identity crisis"

I probably shouldn't post this here because I asume it'll be like posting about boss triports in the hp forum but still lost a few minutes of sleep over this one and thought I'd share- Police Twingear

I want

Never owned a watch or ever felt the need for one cause I live in a timeless buble. It'll be more of a fasion wear then anything else. If I ever pull the triger, that is. Starving students shouldn't buy this kind of ****
