 It's a great looking piece for sure.  Very heavy with that watchadoo-like bracelet.   Lotsa wrist presence (i.e. very big), but comfortable with the left side canteens.


The lume is not the best I have seen, and the hands/markers are small imho compared to the size of the dial.  The canteens attach to the case via screws and chain.


I had the one that covers the winding crown come completely off once - was a bit of a chore getting it re-threaded and tightened down.  When you remove the canteens,  you find very dimuntive crowns - alittle hard to get used to; especially to wind.  And since they are on the left, and I am a righty, I have to set and wind it holding it upside - got used to it though after a few times.


The movement is smooth, havent tested the accuracy yet, but will.  The internal bezel rotates smoothly and freely.  All in all, am very pleased with it - would like to find a good rubber strap to put it on.  hand6.gifhand6.gif


Oops, how'd that get there?  As you can see, my dog doesn't share the same level of enthusiasm I have for watches...  :shock::shock:
