Awesome to have a new Marathon source! Countycomm has been winding down their stock recently, so when looking for a Navigator I was completely SOL. However, when the prices go from 75% to 100% it seems as though they're going to be a lot more than they are from other places..... The JSAR for example is currently within 5 bucks of Countycomm but when it goes back to the regular price it will be almost 200 bucks more.

Wow I did not expect the USMC to be that expensive......

The MSAR was way less than that.

The regular prices TopSpecUS.com is showing are similar to the pricing on Marathons own website. We've become spoiled by countycomm.com's much lower prices-- but I'm wondering if countycomm has lost it's Marathon AD status to TopSpecUS.com? Countycomm has sold off almost all the MArathon watches on it's site, and isn't replenishing the supply. As part of TopSpecUS.com arrangement to be a Marathon AD, it may have to tow the company line when it comes to pricing. We may never see Countycomm's low prices again.

Hi Folks. Marathon most definitely has a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) policy and we will of course comply with that -- we have great respect for Marathon and we're in this for the long-haul. From time to time we will get promotional pricing from Marathon, and we will then pass that along to our customers. We will also be able to have a few sales per year, such as this introductory sale.

I should point out that the keyword with MAP is "advertised". If you are looking for something in particular, or have a question about price, feel free to use the contact form on the website or send us a PM. We are more than happy to talk with you, work with you, and get to know you.

Regards,
Ron

I suppose it's because of the limited production run issue. Marathon hasn't given us any latitude with price on the USMC GSAR at this point, but if they do we'll pass it along to our customers. If you are looking for something in particular, or have a question about price, feel free to use the contact form on the website or send us a PM.

Ron

What about all the Seiko watches you used to sell? I bought one from you and it was great, but now they seem to be all gone? Do you only sell Marathon watches now?

 

[TopSpecUS.com]

As part of our focus on Marathon we no longer actively sell or advertise the other lines. We can still get Seiko, Citizen, and many others, and we are more than happy to work with customers on a case-by-case basis. So if anyone is looking for a particular watch, let us know with a PM or via the website contact form.

Regards,
Ron

 

[carlowus]

Hi Jose,

Although we can source the parts we don't stock them. I have also found that Marathon will generally ask that we refer our customers directly to them for parts and/or repairs.

Let me know if you need help or would like us to facilitate anything for you.

Regards,
Ron

I've just come across this thread and thought I'd let everyone know of my experience dealing with Ron at TopSpecUS.com. I have bought two Marathon Adanac II Navigators from Ron in the past month - a 3ATM model followed by a 20ATM model. He was very accommodating and even came up with a very reasonable shipping cost to Australia that made both watches very affordable. I would have no hesitation in buying from him again and I can recommend him to anyone, particularly fellow Aussies, wanting to buy a Marathon watch.

Best regards, Ron

If you don't mind me asking, how much was shipping to Australia? Currently looking at making a purchase.
