I think the Marathon SAR series are a great value in a tool watch.

I have a few different watches.
Omega's:
MKII Watches:
Seiko's:
Not shown is a Sinn 356 and two more Seikos, a 007 and 6309.
I like that 856s. Wouldn't begin to know where to find one though.
Rob,
Try WatchBuys at www.watchbuys.com. They are the sole authorized dealer for Sinn watches in the US. I bought my EZM3 from the 2 months ago & love it.
BTW, Sinn announced a price increase for September 1 so move quickly.

Rob,
Save your money and get a MONSTER!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

This thread has been responsible for a bit of a paradigm shift for me. I'm not a watch guy, never really have been. But the more I think about it, the more I appreciate the work that goes into a fine automatic watch. To use a similie that was espoused by our illustrious Admin, they're like a good 1911, while a good quartz plastic watch (aka, a G-Shock) is like a Glock. Both have good points and bad points. All I've ever had are various plastic watches. They could do a lot, but all I really want to be able to do is tell time. Hence, I abandoned the watch for a few years to the clock in my cell phone.
Having read a few things here and there, I have set myself on a path to pick up a few things. My baseline is a Rolex Submariner. Great style, but I doubt I will ever be able to rationalize spending that much on a watch. I'm after a classic face, stainless bracelet (leather, rubber or nylon just don't cut it for me), and a reliable movement so I won't have to take it in for service all the damn time.
For now:
- Steinhart Ocean 1 blue/blue 42mm.
- Sandoz (Hong Kong) Sub black/black
Soon:
- Sandoz Sub (Singapore) white/satin
- Seiko diver with sword hands on a super oyster bracelet
Down the road:
- Omega Seamaster of some flavor
- a MkII customized Seiko of some flavor
- a chrono of some sort

I like their TT1 diver.
www.friendsoforis.com is an Australian mail order supplier with great prices and service.
I really like the omega seamaster, but for work I have been considering the Chase Durer UDT.
