“If you are a fan of military style watches then this is definitely a must have. The phrase 'built like a tank' gets thrown around a lot these days but this truly fits the description. When you hold it in your hand you can feel the quality and ruggedness.
The time keeping is phenomenal for the movement and is actually the best 2824 I own. Marathon probably does an exceptional job of regulating their watches because I've spoken with a few other owners who have confirmed similar or better time keeping. The legibility of the dial is exceptional and the tritium tubes make a superior lume to that of the traditional kind. The bezel is nice and clicky with very little play and a deliberate throw.
This is a high quality and purpose built tool which I believe will serve me and my offspring in the following decades.
As usual, Long Island Watch was a pleasure to do business with, and Marc is always available to answer questions with suspiciously fast responses to email.”
“Ordered my watch on 30 November and it was shipped on Friday (1 December). I received my package and unboxed my watch. It is absolutely magnificent! I'd been waiting for Long Island Watch to get in the NGM model of the GSAR and I'm glad I did. I've had my watch for 11 days now and I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. This is my daily wear watch and it is keeping time perfectly. It's taking me a little time to get used to the weight but happen. Even more, I'm extremely satisfied with my pre-purchase customer support. Marc answered every question I had before I made my purchase. That really made me feel comfortable with my decision to purchase from them. I'd recommend Long Island Watch for your watch purchase.”
