Marathon Military Navigator Quartz Date Review
When a watch clicks for you, the details of it don't really matter. It could be an inexpensive quartz watch or an epically expensive grand-complication. It could be plastic or it could be platinum. You just know when you strap it on your wrist, that it's right for you. Ideally, it's something you can afford, so you don't have to stay awake at night dreaming about a 100k watch you'll likely never own. More often than not, it's something in between; not outrageously priced, but just out of reach. Well, recently I had such an experience with a watch that is quite affordable, quartz and plastic. That watch is the Marathon Military Navigator Quartz Date.Marathon watches were born of a collaboration between a Canadian watch distributor, the Wein Brothers, and one of the oldest Swiss watch brands, Gallet, whose origins date back to the late 1400's.

Rolex pricing why some can sell new for more than retail
Hi I havent been here for a while but I do seem to remember reading that Rolex AD have to follow strict pricing and cannot sell for more than retail price no matter how desirable.Which brings me to my story.Last year in Bangkok I had the chance to try on a green submariner from a Rolex boutique it was a great experience in I walk with open toe sandals and shorts and treated extremely well.I asked about the price and they informed me that with green ones they add on an extra 20,000baht which is ¡ê500 in uk money.They receive 2 green ones every month they told me that they get what what Rolex gives them. If I only knew how sought after the green ones have become I should have chewed her hand off for it.So moving forward to present day I get my thai contact to enquire about price because now Iam interested right.Almost every shop she called told her that she would need previous purchase history in order to be put on the waiting list which is what Iam experiencing now in the UK. DAMN!!!but
