Looked around ,although there are still many old stock Victorinox at stupidly cheap purchase prices; this model appears to be quite reasonable here; after all Drop may not be a registered AD, but there is some help with any problems!! Not being too concerned with the legibility of the 24hr read out this is not a bad looking watch. Don't know if I can make my mind up in time before it is sold out as it does fit in with what's on my current wish-list, and just in budget.
