    Interesting they don’t mention who the BAF are.
    (Bangladeshi airforce looking a decom papers on the original versions)
    Prices are not as eye watering in comparison to recent efforts but they had stacks of these with T dials which they struggled to sell for years so I guess that stock has now sold out. Not many were issued and the jury is still out if they actually were to the MOD.
    The Gen 1s and Gen 2s were a better watch in my opinion and you could have an issued version of either for the price of this. (If that’s your thing.).

    Same here. And it feels like the change to a sapphire crystal could have improved the water resistance.

    Did someone say T dial?





    Apart from the sapphire glass, what's the difference to the original?

    Hmmm. If the 'update' had included a no-date option, I may have been very interested.

    The new effort looks gorgeous. And as others have said, not a bad price for what it is.

    How do you cope without the date function on a watch.

    Interesting information. I’d rather a T dial myself, with acrylic crystal. But that ship appears to have sailed.
