Congrats Biz! your pics make me wish I ordered one!....the bracelets run around $156. for the Accutrons(price I was quoted at Bulova for a Astronaut bracelet) so it was well worth what you paid!cool10.gif

Yea...that would be cool. Unitas hand craker with display back and the subdial would handle the seconds. I'd buy that too :D KenC wrote: Again...beautiful look...but damn, I wish it was a Unitas!

Thanks O - the bracelet is very nice...even though it's still in the plastic. Kinda partial to leather...plus, if I ever sell it....did I say ever - meant when. I usually turn them after awhile :) I can then include an unworn bracelet. I kinda like the watch...so I'll probably keep it for a few months anyway. oagaspar wrote: Congrats Biz! your pics make me wish I ordered one!....the bracelets run around $156. for the Accutrons(price I was quoted at Bulova for a Astronaut bracelet) so it was well worth what you paid!cool10.gif

Looks great but I would have a devil of a time resisting that bracelet. You must be a strap guy indeed. Enjoy!!

Very Nice. This is the second time I am kicking myself for not getting that one. The first time was when I didnt order, went back the next day to get one and the Schnoop site was down for maintenance. When they came back up there was no yesterdays deal. ![]() Congrats to those who did get one.

Mine was waiting for me when I got home from a business trip this weekend, and it was sweet. Fortunately, (or unfortunately if you're my wife) I also had a 42mm Hamilton Field Auto Chrono with a blue face waiting for me as well. What a dilemma...from no blue-faced watches to two in one day. Well I put the thinking cap on and kept the Hamilton (beautiful watch) and gave the Accutron to my father in law who is visiting. He's been wearing some POS Seiko that is about to fall off his wrist. To summarize, wife is happy, father-in-law is happy, I have a new Hammy, and I'll get the watch back down the road (hopefully several years). I agree with Pax, though, about the bracelet...it is very nice. If the deal comes back I'd recommend the purchase.

Sorry.....you're close but no cigar :D The lugs are 23mm. With a bit of squashing, I was able to use a 24mm strap. The 22mm I tried was a bit too small and didn't look right. Foster wrote: I don't know what you guys are talking about.....this watch has 22mm lugs.

I'm sitting right here with my ruler and my Excursion and the lugs measure 22mm. I'd say my ruler is more accurate than a strap. Hand over the cigar.
