Priced at $199 and shipping from July 28, it sticks to the original Marlin case, adds a quick-release mesh band, and features a Timex x Todd Snyder engraving on the caseback.
A 31-year-old Louisiana man was struck by a white marlin’s bill during a fishing trip, which penetrated his mouth and pierced into the spinal canal at the foramen magnum. CT revealed a wedge-shaped object; surgeons removed a 3.5 cm fragment of the fish bill, and after eight days in hospital plus antibiotics, he fully recovered with no neurological deficits. The case is notable as the first reported foramen magnum injury caused by a fish bill and adds to the historical record of cranial penetrating injuries.
