The COSC certified/grade movement appeals to me too, I'm getting fantastic timekeeping from my C65 Cranwell at +1 sec p/d. Plus I know it's been discussed a thousand times, but I really do think the logo at 12 works for me
Enjoy it

They also state in the blurb it has a countdown bezel but unless I have missed something that bezel looks like a normal timer bezel, ie count up!
Interesting, I wonder how it would look with green used for the highlight colour instead of orange for the second hand/dial.oberonfoto wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 5:21 am The watch it’s self does not say “Lean green fighting machine” to me, where is the Lovet green of the Royals hard won beret? The “commando danger” of their shoulder flashes?
That did make me smile, Jimbo!
I’ve my “Dolphins” which trump your green ferret Royal. Dolphin 38.
In the northern hemisphere, orient the hour hand to point towards the direction of the sun. Then turn the inner ring until due south splits the difference between the hour hand and 12 on the dial. Now the cardinal directions are roughly oriented. If you’re in an area observing daylight savings time, you got to use standard time for this.*
Also as a former RM Commando I have to mostly agree with Jimbo. I have been looking forward to this release, but now I've seen it I'm on the fence as to whether I would buy it. There are other RM options out there such as Bremont (more expensive) and Citizen (less expensive). The compass doesn't do much for me. If I wanted a watch with a compass that is not digital, I would get a Seiko Alpinist for a lot less money. I like the overall look of the watch, kind of like a mechanical G-shock, but don't know if it speaks RM to me enough to buy one as a special watch to commemorate my time in the Royal Marines, which is what I was hoping for. A standard C60 with the same design, colorway, and DLC case, with no chronometer movement or compass would be a nice watch for less money. I'll have to let this one marinate for a while.
