The watch is amazingly solid, with a fantastic look. I would rate the watch at 95% (details below). I am asking $320 shipped, which includes tracking and insurance. I will eat all Paypal fees. Shipping to the US only please, if you are international and are interested PM me and we can work out details if need be. Take advantage of a barely used Mariner and get it for almost $275 less than new!
The original page with all the details about this watch is below:

This watch, for the most part, looks brand new. There are few caveats and I have attempted to catch them via camera. The watch was originally re-sized and slightly scratched on *one* link, see the pic. The link that was removed does not have the original pin included. Right now the watch is sized for an 8'' wrist, and comes with the additional link that was taken out. I'm sure Keith at Boschett would be glad to send you a pin if you needed it. Also, one of the links has a slight "smudge" like appearance, just from normal wear, hence the 95% rating I give it. No scratches on the crystal or face at all.
This is a typical Boschett watch - and if you are familiar with them - this is no different. It is a fantastic watch, and the silver color is perfect. I will regret selling this, because the bracelet is amazing. I wish my reef ranger had the same bracelet! I just can't keep it right now, not worth the risk at home.
My own photos are below... the lume is standard Boschett - decent. I wasn't able to capture a very good lume shot but if you would like, I can try again and email you my best attempt. I'm not a professional photographer, sorry!
The last 2 pictures show the scratched link (on the side) and the "smudged" link that I believe is only from desk diving etc. I can take any other photos at request, per PM.
Scratched link , 2nd from the clasp - the only actual (small) problem with this watch.
Here is what I am calling the "smudge". You can see it isn't a scratch, but just a use-type marking.
I can provide other references for flashlight and knive collection forums that I am active on.
I honestly describe my postings and will fully accept returns if you are not satisfied - provided the watch returns in the condition it left, and you pay for return shipping / insurance.
I know I am new to these forums, but I have done many many transactions both as a buyer and seller on items $300-800 dollars and I understand the un-easiness of buying from a "new" or maybe "unknown" member on a forum. That is why I am perfectly comfortable refunding your money if you are not pleased with the watch. I just need to get rid of this watch ASAP because my significant other is not happy.
Thanks,
