New To GO--help with Navigator ND!

Hello All,

I am brand new to this forum and also to GO watches. I'm somewhat new to higher end watches, in fact, but have purchased an Omega Bond diver and Planet Ocean over the last couple years . Recently I wandered into an AD in Wetzlar, Germany, however, and fell in love with the GO Navigator ND, but couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on a new one. I have a few questions:

There seem to be two versions around, a SS display back and a crystal back. (100-09-07-05-04 and 100-09-07-04-04, respectively) Are both still in production? They seem to be hard to come across, new or used.

Is the cal 100 the only movement in these watches or are there some out there with the cal 39?

I guess this is a no brainer, as it is always better to buy something with a warranty, but should I be nervous about buying a Navigator out of warranty?

Is the warranty two years?

I tend to want the steel back as it's more authentic, but may have a line on a deal for a crystal back. Are there advantages to one over the other? Disadvantages?

Finally, how often do these watches need service?

Lots of questions, I know, but your help is very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance---I purchased the GO DVD from someone on another list and they are VERY impressive watches!

Cheers,

Craig
