I thought it would be a Smiths rather than a Precista, the smaller name would be more in keeping with the original on the dial. I would rather the watch remains as it is without a date or any kind of addition. I cant really see the lume being an issue as presumably it would be where the hour points are and on the hands I guess the only issue would be the size of the hour points but the hands would more than make up for it. I don't see the crown being an issue as with it having a nato strap the strap would pretty much fold out of the way and also the case itself appears to be curved to give extra access to the crown.

I would definitely purchase one if the design remained as it is.
