: Field And Stream F30GVL
And, yes, it's "Field And Stream" as in the magazine. While I'm not a subscriber, I am a regular reader, since I swap my motorcycle magazines with a co-worker for his "Field And Streams".
Interesting styling..
..and a nice size at 40mm X 47mm X 10mm, with 20mm lugs. It came on a tan leather strap which, while quite well-made, was a tad short for me. But I reckon..
..it works pretty darned good with the black NATO!
The rotating bezel is a 60-clicker, and has quite a nice action. The crown is a conventional push-pull..
..but it does have a screw-in caseback. Maybe. Judging by the spanner-scrape it might be a snap-in masquerading as a screwdown.
I'll let you know when I have to put a battery in it. 
And, of course, the movement could be any one of about a dozen possibilities. I'm thinkin' it won't be nothing I haven't seen before, so I'll get back wi' ye on that, too, at the first battery change.The caseback etching is a nice detail. At the risk of belaboring the obvious, I call your attention to the reflection in the caseback. "Field And Stream"", so I took some pains to get the green grass of the field reflected as it is.
I know, I know! That means I need to do the same with a stream... 
One thing's for certain..
It wears Grrrrrrrrrrr8!
It's received some notice, too. Indeed, an unsolicited offer to buy it right off me wrist! 
I wore it to work today (yeah, working on Saturday 
), and showed it off a bit. Hot bed of Outdoosrmen that my area is, the offer shouldn't be a real surprise. The gent's a hard-core hunter and fisher, and reads Field And Stream faithfully. His first offer was lowball in the extreme, and easy to refuse. Then, to my mild surprise, after I declined he doubled it. Still pocket change, so I declined again. Then, to my astonishment, he doubled it again! 
Now we're talking sure 'nough Folding Money. But I had to decline once more. Why?Well, selling this watch after Bro. Marc entrusted it to me as a keepsake of his father just seemed wrong. Believe it or not, as big an ass as I can be at times, I am a man who places great store in Honor and Principle, and I do try to be Friendly and Helpful. I fancy I succeed maybe 3/4th of the time..
In any case, Bro. Marc, I'll make you this solemn pledge: I'll, never, ever sell any of these watches. I do plan to turn some into Tom Swifties, and I may pass some along to other worthies unmodified. But given the spirit in which you've passed your papa's watches along to me, I'd as lief pee on an electric fence
than turn a buck on them.Anyway, If any o' y'all were wondering, yes..
..it is a full-lume dial.
WooHOO! 
Thanks so much, Bro. Marc, I will wear it with pride, and in remembrance of your father.
