    Hi from new member

    Just got registered today,

    Doing some research, currently looking to buy one of the following watches:

    Tawatec
    Marathon GSAR
    Casio PRW-1300y (titanium braclet)
    SMW

    Or something else with tritium vials and the military/diver look.

    Am really tempted by the casio because of the functionality, but am a bit worried about the longevity of the watch (more features means more stuff to go wrong).
    However, I like the look of the analogue face with the tritium glowing away. Hence the reason for the other watches in my wish list.

    Anyother suggestions for my list?

    Hi,

    Welcome to the forum. I wouldn't worry too much about longevity. If you get into the swing of things around here, you won't own it long enough to notice! :lol:

    Hi 8)

    If your budget can stretch to the CSAR they are fantastic.

    Re: Hi from new member

    Hi all,

    Thank you for the responses, I really enjoyed reading through them.
    I had a Marathon TSAR lined up on Ebay but then it got completely kiboshed.
    I was Ready to go ahead and get in the auction but I Rang my dad to ask him what he thought and he managed to talk me out of it. :shock:

    I ended up buying the spare of the watch he reckons is the best watch in the world - so good in fact he bought another one.

    http://www.atomictime.co.uk/acatalog/R2377BX9.html

    Got it for 20 notes

    So my plans for a new watch have been binned for the time being.

    The TSAR sold for £238.35 not bad in my opinion. Can't say I'm a happy :albino: for not buying it.

    And fantastically large. I grew to think it was ok eventually, but it's a seriously huge and heavy watch. I think the relative scarcity drives prices up too.

    Re: Hi from new member

    I don't think, considering my non-existant collection (not for long hopefully) I'm worth a whole thread, so i'll add here that I'm a newbie too. This forum makes for extremely interesting reading, and I've watched (meh) the Precista collection of watches for a while. I'm especially interested in the forthcoming Smiths W10 too. These watches seem to be the best watches around which are priced around an area mere mortals like myself can afford :lol: . Anyway, welcome from sunny Hampshire :wink: .

    Personally, I'd be so tempted to go Auto and for one of Eddies PRS 3's or if you don't need a date PRS18a rather than the choices listed (would you really use the function on them or do you just want a nice well built and designed watch?).
    It's just a matter of time...
