[eagle_lex]

Just got an email from my SAR buddy who reports the SARs are gone....now which exact model im not sure. I assume he means the regular SAR auto. So if you find one used and you been wanting one.... you better buy it. Im posting this here because i know alot of you TRFers like the SAR and have been thinking about picking one up. if you find one you better grab it.

So the rumors are true. Thanks for the update, Ed.
Wore mine the last 3 days and was thrilled to have such a robust tank to take on the road.

just talked to him again and the SARs like yours and mine are GONE! he said County Comm might have a few left but there is no more stock pile of them. so if you want one you better call them and get it boys. dont say me and Dan didnt warn you!!

I thought we might need a couple pictures of the SAR here. I bought mine from Ed's source some time this spring. I didn't realize there were so few left.

With the lug hole case it is very easy to swap straps/bracelets.

Thanks to the cheap waterproof digital I bought my son when we were in Florida last winter. I think anybody with a waterproof watch needs a waterproof camera

SAR is definitely one of the those watches that is just right :-)

Automatic SAR w/cyclops are classic. One of the best tool watches ever.

Not sure about the red maple leaf version, eh?

I almost bought one, but I already had a quartz version with the tritium dial. I wanted to try the Marglow and cyclops.

x2 on the SAR love. Had to travel last week myself and truly enjoyed wearing mine for the duration of the trip. Carrying luggage and trying to get stuff in and out of overhead compartments and I didn't worry for a second about this hunk of steel. I put it back on the bracelet early last week and am consistently amazed at the fit and finish of this watch in this price range. I agree with Ed, if you have a chance to get one of these now, go for it.

Looks like countycomm still has some of the originals from the 2006 contract. I may have to pick one up before they are sold out.
I have a TSAR that replaced my Sandy 660. The old 660 is still a good watch but the tritium vials got weak.

You guys take some great pictures by the way.

if countycomm has a few you better get one!! simply hard to beat for the money. it def. is not the best fit and finish watch i own.... but im telling ya its amazing for what it costs.

Are these better than the Seiko dive watch models in any way? If so, in what ways- durability, movement, longevity, quality, etc? I have never owned a Marathon brand watch. I saw the prices on County Comm, not too bad. Thanks.

i've had a sar since '02, its my goto watch other than my sub. its travelled the world with me and has never let me down. i've owned numerous seiko watches in the past, they really don't compare, the sar is a completely different league. if you get a chance to check one out, you'll know what the fuss is all about.

And worse case scenerio ... U buy it and hate it... It will sell in a day esp if u get the lasg few left. The prices can only go up now. But u wont hate it u will love it!
