I have this mine is not great as you say the case back is a nightmare and the lack of water resistance just makes this pointless really is a throwaway piece I wear it gardening ill hopefully run over it with the mower some day soon ,great review as always
I wonder if you had a Timex camper I heard they were military issued in that era without 'Timex' on the dial. I bought the civilian model on ebay recently and love it.
