Interesting. It's a GMT but has all the pushers like a chrono.

Must be a chrono TOO...

Dial looks VERY busy...

But if you like it Mark, that's all that matters!

Terrible picture of it, even on the Marathon site.
GMT seems to be getting more popular, at least around here. I've been looking at another to put in the winder with the other two.

Hmmm...interesting is right.

Gotta get a better pic.
Wish it had the JSAR hands/markers.
Need a tube watch - sent a Deep Blue Night Ops back.
Looked too much like a Marathon - figured I hold out for the source.

Actually would prefer the JSAR as is + tubes.

50mm Mark, dont think you can pull it off, times must be tough at marathon with all the government money problems so they're going after the invicta market!

You are right...my sissy wrists can barely take a 42mm Fortis today...nevermind a 50mm Marathon!!

At least your driving faster in this pic. Now put your hands on the wheel at 9 and 3 where they belong.

Looks to be be ONE MEAN Marathon Mark ! You get
that perfect black dial, with what looks like some nice red
numbers representing the hours on the outer edge of the
dial. I see a BIG RED GMT hand in the picture also !!!
Seems sure to be a winner, and it has all of the tough
traits that makes Marathon so good..plus a little extra
too !..THAT'S a NICE ONE right there !!!

How do I check my e-mails, text and take pictures with both hands on the wheel...

That's right, your a busy TV exec. At least you're doing your make-up at home.

And i can see its a fortis not a stowa replica!

Holy crap is right-that thing is way too freakin' big. Slap Invicta on the dial and you have an OTV sellout. (Seriously-I like Marathon and am not in any way comparing them to Invicta, but 50mm is ridiculous IMO.)

Looks interesting, but I am going to stick with searching for a JSAR on the US Seal bracelet.

50mm.......ok, but I just don't think that Mark has the bones for this one.

Interesting design concept but not really new. My pre-Bond quartz uses the one crown to adjust the hour hand only in first position, second position pulled out , the crown moves both hands. I guess the marathon 2 pusher is supposed to make the operation easier.
Size-wise at 50mm wide, many guys feel it is way too big but the Casio Protreks are 50mm....for sure large but not so unmanageable if large is your thing haha! I guess the Marathon GMT was designed in line with its tool watch tradition, assuming the wearer was in international search and rescue work! haha!

*Droolin'*!!! VERY NICE! Any price point yet for this beast? I couldn't find it?
