looks ok but the fix lugs how do they feel and do you reckon it will look ok on a nato ? do like the dial wonder what the dial would look like in the lufty or the Japanese air force case

again like the case but the strap was not the best and lume was not great but some people liked the watch there was a few case of the case discolouring but that was not that many think it happen once on another model think it was the crown discolouring on that one issue one if I remember right

shame to say this did not have the same impact as the issue 5 pammy .. the original dial from issue 5 was used in this one but it did not have the good lume that the issue 5 had and it was not as well like

this one was quite decent to for the price. good solid case on it the strap was not the best they did. they seem to improve the strap on some of the later models

this one I do like got a decent strap like the case even the dial is ok .. wish they had use the dial from issue three thou as it had the markers raised to give it a better look

this one ant to bad ok strap case the sub dials work but the empty space below the 12 get to you after a bit it needs something on there like the original had ... what's your take on it

like the strap the case and hand are ok but the dial is a bit of a let down what do you think

cool might just have one of them

Neat watch, but why does it say "grooved crown to allow ease of winding"....if it's a quartz? Did it come in quartz and mechanical versions?

Love the soldier carrying an FN-FAL. That rifle was a workhorse. Near impossible to accurize like the M-1A/M-14, but rather accurate if you knew how to use it.

One of my favorites so far, though the dial and hands do look a bit small in the larger case.

I think it will be one of a handful to be remember out of the whole collection along with issue 1 and issue 5 these was my favourites

It is my favourite one of the collection and when we first had them there was talk of it not having a second hand on them a fellow member t.o.w first mention it and I was the first to remove the second hand.

then as it work well a lot of the other fellow mwc did the same and I think that small change made a good watch a great watch and I have use this dial and movement from this watch and have since put them in several other case to give it the original look .. I think of the handful that will be remembered this is going to be one of them

think least said about issue 8 is sooner mend haha

but there was some good one's they did.... just not this one

Least favorite of all so far for obvious reasons. The Lemania on the other hand...

Unfortunately it's a theme that continues. expect further things that don't do what they should.

the upside its you never have a bezel that always seems to be set at 58 minutes every time you look at your watch.

Non rotating bezel, eh? I suppose that's what you get for a few quid!
