LOVE IT. Got it in this afternoon and immediately threw it on my wrist. The watch wears just fine as the pictures below indicate. My wrist is approx 7.25". The lugs don't over hang although it's right at the edge. (pics are deceiving) The strap is a four buckle zulu (ACU gray w/ low lite hardware) so it sits off my wrist a bit. The crown is no where near my wrist. No digging noted. Lume is great. It's hard to capture the true brightness/dullness of the lume without making it seem super bright but it's pretty good so far. Not bad for 195 smackeroos. PS- Don't expect an extravagant job with the packaging. It came preinstalled with a black mil series strap inside a watch taco. Simple. Edit to add: Watch was zero'd out at 2000 hrs. Time to track the loss/gain.      Last edited on Wed Jun 22nd, 2011 09:26 pm by 21411 |

Thanks! This is my third pilot watch. I used to not like them at first but of course over time they have grown on me. Just something about the simplistic nature of them..

Thanks guys. Woops, forgot to mention it. The Maratac Pilot contains a Miyota 8245. Handwinding, non-hacking.. Screw down crown. Citizen says the accuracy is -20/+40 per day. I've only worn it 4 hours since receiving it. I also let it sit for roughly 7 hours dial up. So far it is +8. I'll update tonight once I hit the 24 hr mark. It's rated to 10 ATM. It's 46mm without the crown, 54 from tip to tip of the lugs, 12.5 thickness, lug width is 22. Last edited on Thu Jun 23rd, 2011 07:54 am by 21411 |

That crown looks sooooo cool. From one of the pictures it looks like the crown sits against the case on an angle. Could just be the angle of the pic, but it looks pretty darn awesome. Heck of a nice piece.

I think I like Desert Tan better. Looks more "military" and field issued.  And totally off topic, my TSAR on a new Maratac Bond. I didn't know Maratac made these colors until I found it at a vendor. Had to have it.
