Hi folks... I'm looking for a military-ish watch. I'm looking at the
CWC, Marathon and some with "US government" on the face.
But I'm seeing a brand called "Darch."
Are they any good?

You'll find opinions at WUS:

As I've read they're small watches (34 mm w/o crown).

Does anyone else remember the days when 34 mm was not "small" but
a full-sized man's watch?

Yebut, the world was bigger back then.
I mean really, these days a 'C' cup is a flat chest or a pre-op condition. :-)

I bought one and it now sits on my seven year old because it was so
small. It doesn't look particularly big on him. 2 weeks of wear and
the face is scratched to hell which is probably more of an indication of
how rough kids are. Ok quality for the money. I think I paid Aus$11
including shipping.

Have you looked at Swiss Military Watch with tritium tubes? http://www.smw-watch.com/

Their Millicurie model is less overpriced than others.

For the price, does it matter? I don't think you can really compare it
to a CWC or Marathon though. (the ones marked "US Government" are
likely Marathons.) Marathon GSAR = $700 new, Darch = $20? I don't
expect it to be in the same league, but for $20, if it tells you the
time for a year and you like the style, go for it, what have you got to
lose?

Good point.
