Thanks guys!
I have always had a soft spot for Timex, a hand winder that was my Dad's was my very first watch way back when.  I had it on one of those funky 70's wrist cuffs, it was a hip Timex, LOL.  This is my 4th in recent years, joins an Ironman analog chrono, the new Automatic, an ana-digi compass that I gave to my older son when I got my Suunto, and now this one.  This compass is the coolest of all and seems built like a tank with a very smooth bi-directional bezel with just the right amount of friction and a lumed North pointer.

Yes, it is a nice satin finish, and the best part is I can get all different color Zulu/NATO straps to put it on.  I have it on a gray right now, I may get an orange one for laughs, that'll get the Scouts' attention!

Cheers,
Griff
