I bought it on Ebay from a seller in Switzerland. I suspect he had a source of the original factory parts and was just assembling them. The movement, while still a, Ronda was different than the one the military watches had in the 1990's. I bought a couple tools on Ebay to open and close the case and a presto hand remover to do the swap.
Here it is in the middle of the picture, beside its donor watch. It was pretty well a straight swap for the dial. The was a bronze spacer on the Tritium dial that had to taken off and put back with the dial to be fitted to the plastic Navigator, but other than that it was pretty straight forward. The spacer was just a friction fit over the dial feet and slipped right off.
