Just saw this post on FB from Marathon: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/c8jUn4TYZf3fxfdu/
 Attached FileA salute to the past, engineered for the future, get ready for our latest watch, the Type I 41MM OSAR-D. Launching 9/26. Subscribe to our email list to be the first to hear about the latest and get an early serial code of this collectible piece. I read an article a few months back talking about the likelihood that Marathon was going to do some kind of commemorative watch based on their first Submariner-style SAR watch. I don't see much talk of Marathon here, but I am a big fan of my GSAR, and I am looking forward to seeing what this looks like and the price point. |

Tag. I’m on a watch kick this month so I’ll be keeping an eye on this.

They should have photoshopped up that marker with the splotchy lume a bit better.
Love my SAR, by the way. |

What are the odds they slim it down a bit? I owned a GSAR a few years back and it was massively tall on the wrist.

I shipped my GSAR to Marathon June 22nd. It took them over a month to check it into their system after they signed for it. I got an email Sept 12 saying the work was complete. I paid the invoice ($285 quoted, $337 actual) and now I wait. They've already prefaced the return shipment with "we're short staffed", "we're moving to a new system", and "we're moving offices". So hopefully I get the watch back before the end of the year.  Nice folks but their CS is as incompetent as fuck. |

i've had gsar and sar.. just a little too tall on the wrist for me... great watches though.
Price will probably be way beyond my seiko 5 budget. |

I wanted to like Marathon but all my mechanical watches are trash at telling time. The TSAR was fine.

My GSAR is pretty tall, but I don't know how do tritium like that without making it tall. Mine keeps great time.

I realize this is a re-release, but I feel like the indices are just too big.

If the lug width is 20mm and the thickness isn't as bad as all of the others, then I would seriously look into it.

Looks like the same thickness as all the others. It is a 20mm lug width. Considering I got the current style with tritium for right around $1000, I don't know. Anyways, here's the link:

I really liked the watch other than this when I had a GSAR a few years ago. |
