Too small for me, but it seems like a nice watch and movement

Case shape seems a bit odd. Different from the plastic one.

They should re-issue the steel Navigator instead.

Over priced . I would rather take two BASM and change.

I thought the same thing over priced you can get a vintage issued watch wind up about the same size for about 100-200 you will pay 300 more for that. You want a issued cwc about same case design but qaurtz I will sell you one for cheap.

Don't like the lugs, and you can get a Hamilton Khaki field watch in either 38mm or 42mm for less.

My only objection is WR 30M for a field watch....
