I really like the Accutron Spaceview and have promised myself that I will get one, one day...

The re-edition is special, but not $4k worth of special, IMHO. BUT - you DO get a plaque and a box...  subtlelaugh.gif

In the photos on the web, I notice that the case is "triangulated" and the lugs are like a version of the old "bow-tie" lugs. The website does not, as far as I can tell, show us the case dimensions of the new re-edition hand-made model.

Problem with the oldies is that they are in the middle-30 mms in width, and for me these days that is a bit small. There is a squarer cased version at about 40mm, and that is probably the one I will eventually shoot down.

I will keep looking...

Love the "hummers"!
