Not Elegant/Looks CheapI guess I should have looked a little closer at the typeset. The white...I just don't know why they did that? It doesn't look engraved...it looks like someone put little plastic white stickers on it. If you look closely, you'll see little ridges where, perhaps, they had to set the plate within the compass. The compass shakes a lot. I believe, it eventually settles to the correct direction, but it shakes a bunch to get there. I was unimpressed. I would not buy this again. The only good thing was the case it came in. I am giving this to the captain of cruise ship. I'm a little embarrassed. I'd rather not, but it's too close to Christmas to do something about it.
