I've never spent anywhere near $1,500 for one though. With just a little searching you can find discounts of 50% or more. Even Amazon discounts heavily.

I'm serious for once i've been searching amazon for some decent looking watches, just undecided on what.

I think it's because I've always been a wenger fan when it comes to the tools.

Go buy yourself a Marathon Maratac and lots of ammo. or http://countycomm.com/maratacpilotlarge.html I'm wearing my maratac large pilot right now and I love it. (not my pic) They apparently don't make many at a time so they are out of stock often. Send them a note and ask to be notified, Mike will get back to you.
