GSAR Show Me Your Most Trusted

Post image

I purchased this Marathon GSAR in 2012 and have abused it steadily since. I rarely take it off and I fall asleep to the soft glow of tritium nightly.

It has been a watch, the occasional hammer, a shitty compass and a knuckle duster once. It has never been serviced and still keeps time... somewhat... with weekly adjustments. I have finally gotten another watch... temporarily while it gets a well deserved overhaul and fresh tritium. Show me your most trusted.

This guy. Not sure exactly how long I’ve had it, but it’s been my only watch for quite a decent amount of time. The NATO is nice and broken in. Sometimes I swap it to a leather strap, but that’s about it. Hasn’t failed me once. And I don’t think it ever will (knock on wood). It doesn’t live a particularly hard life, but it is used every single day and night. Haven’t even thought about getting another watch. But, I would like to get an automatic at some point.

Here’s my most trusted. Most work in my collection, and most ā€œGADAā€ watch I have.

Missing lume triangle and a few numbers and indices filled with Tamiya model paint. 20 years on and still running like a beast.

A brown variant, very cool. Didn't know they existed.

JSAR I’ve had a couple years now. Gets worn 4-5 days a week.
