This listing includes the Operation Compass Variant Rules and over 175 Variant Counters (of my own design) for the Variant which covers the beginning of the pre-Rommel North Afrika Campaign.  Unlike the originals these are double-sided with the backside colored in Axis gelbbraun or Commonwealth brown to provide easier sorting and\or use in hidden counter\fog of war variants.  This also includes 25+ Bonus Variant Counters\Markers (as described below) to improve game play and add historical accuracy.  The art (to be emailed) of a beautiful new 48"x24" game map of the North Africa theater is also part of this package.  A choice of 3rd Edition Afrika Korps rules is provided each with their own virtues.  Other helpful materials are included as well. Some to all of the non-counter materials may emailed upon shipment of your purchase.  
      
The counters listed here are 1/2" size, about the thickness of a standard counter (but not exactly the same thickness).  They are laser printed!  The counters will be shipped individually cut rather than in uncut sheets.  The color shades of the actual counters may differ from those seen on your monitor. Variant counters are sent to professional printers to produce a high quality product. 
                        
Included with the shipment will be Bonus Variant Counters\Markers! These include a set of several different markers to enhance game play. Also, the original Avalon Hill counters had a unit counter which did NOT exist! There are also modified counter values to aid those playing with battalion "breakdown" variants and for those wanting historical accuracy. A NEW unit has been added; it corrects an seemingly obvious deficiency!!"  
            
Purchasing this list is an agreement not to duplicate for the purposes of resale any of the variant counters received.

Second hand alignment is off by a quarter of a second from second marks b. Black case is excessively shiny; probably is not ion-coated and finish may not be very durable, but was preferable to me over the gold, which I am sure will mar easily c. Watch has a snap-on (not screw-on) back and minimal water resistance Bottom line, I seem to have received exactly what was offered, which is a lot for around $30

The watch Is beautiful, keeps time & date well and seems to be made of quality materials
Color: A1 - Blue / Brown
First off I have not had a watch in 20 years since I use my phone for the date and time. I decided to try using one again and love not having to retrieve my phone to check the time. The watch is beautiful and I love the look of the gold with the blue face and brown band. It works great and appears to be of the same quality as the Seiko watches that I use to own. I tested the face and tried to scratch a small area with a sharp object. I would not scratch so it is either glass or a crystal. the metal seems to be of good quality and the band is comfortable and feels like leather. Overall I am happy with it and will update this review if the situation changes.

Nice looking watch with day and date
Color: A5 - Black
This watch has a nice black face and looks like it is high quality considering the price. I guess time will tell how durable it is. The only thing I am not as pleased about is the band which is stiff and is not as comfortable as another watch that has a leather band.
