![]() ![]() The watches I build are solely for my own pleasure of putting stuff together. 2001 Marathon SAR Automatic - 300m Diver - FIRST ADDITION. Just to make it clear: I do not in anyway condone this. The original Marathon SAR was purpose-built to adhere to Military Standard W-46374G (abbreviated to MIL-W-46374G), in order to fulfill a military contract. That is 240 USD give and take and you sell the watch for 600 USD as a used genuine on the bay. Throw in a cheap 2824 clone from China and your are good to go. Do the math, 160 USD for a complete case with dial and hands. That is why they bother to rep a Marathon. There is a lot of tinkering going on outside what we know from the TDs or vintage Rolexes.Īnd the more affordable brands (Longines, Seiko, Marathon even vintage Omega) fly under the radar so to speak. There is a lot of reps/fakes whatever you want to call it out there. It is my assessment that almost half the bullheads you see on eBay are fake. People are ripping apart any Seiko 6138 Chrono they can get to build a much sought after bullhead. I have a case here but movements are hard to come by. ![]()
