Hi Folks,
I'm looking for a new watch and it's decision time.
I've got three choices
1 - Broadarrow PRS10 (Top)
Likes - The price is quite a bit cheaper than the other choices, it's got a steel case and looks good as well. Dislikes - From what I've read, a bit limited on strap choice and not tritium.
2 - Marathon US Military Mechanical - New Old Stock 1991 Model 46374E (Second one down)
Likes - looks good, as a self confessed gadget freak, I do like the tritium light source and the fact that it's military surplus appeals to me as does the fact that it's mechanical. Dislikes - Two things really, first the case. I've not had much luck with composite cases in the past, but then this does meet military specs so I would expect it to be rugged and sturdy, and the second concern is the age of the tritium light source and just how bright it still is.
3 - H3 Traser Type 3 (This One)
Likes - looks good, brand new tritium light source, probably easier than the Marathon to get fixed if something goes wrong. Dislikes - Same concerns as Marathon about resin cases
Any comments on the above would be gratefully recieved
Cheers Guys
