"how do you guys like this watch?"
i like mine quite a bit even though it's a little too large for daily wear, for my wrist size. 43mm, but wears quite large, imho.
"how reliable is the movement?"
so far so good...mine keeps acceptable time maybe 8 seconds fast. seems to be tough enough...although i've only had it for a couple of months, so it's a little early to tell just yet.
"any unusual problems associated with this watch?"
none that i know of? seeing how it was a miltiary issue, i'm thinking it should be able to handle whatever within reason. i could be speaking out of turn, but i wouldn't think there should be any issues with it, that aren't managable?
"also what is the lug width...for day to day use, i don't think i'll be using the bund strap...more than likely going to put a Zulu strap on it?"
20mm i believe? i haven't changed straps yet, so i never bothered to look, but i'm about 70% sure it's 20mm...i'll try to check tonight and verify for you.
i prefer it on a standard strap. personally i think the bund strap looks silly and awkward.... i can appreciate though why people like them, but myself, no.
"thanks for your imput"
good luck on the hunt!
