Very interesting! I never knew there were more than one run of double references...

I assumed the doubles were first, then the 13 and 17 were more-or-less all lumped together with the differences dictated by the customer.

Enlightening! Thank you for sharing.

Why did you buy the watch if you don't like the features of it?

I like the watch very much. I'm a big fan of military watches, but I hate having to compromise with the fixed lugs. Anyhow, thank you so much for your input guys.

How much are you intending on shelling out for the said watch?
It would be a shame to devalue a watch by tens of thousands only because you dont like nato straps.
