Thanks,

If it is a genuine Silva model you can't really go wrong.

But.....

That site looks like it is American. If it is then you need to make sure that the compass you buy is designed (or balanced) for use in the Southern Hemisphere. If I use a compass setup for Northern Hemisphere in the South, the needle or card will drag or jam against the housing.

Hope this makes sense.
