Whatever... My dealer said mine was on back order until July. I heard the only bad thing is that the bezel does not rotate. |

I ordered it from kenmar watches awhile ago. they also have one on ebay. they sent an email stating it was in, so I bought it. I wanted an older one but couldn't locate one that was in good shape. I saw a new one for sale on wus, but missed it. I have a few watches, I'm mostly aiming for a different movement in each one if that makes any sense? like a eta 2824-2, I bought a stowa flieger, the 2892 for the accutron, a 7751 from dfreemont, a 7750 in a nivrel. I've learned quite a bit by reading your posts, then doing research on my own. I don't have much in the way of funds for this, so any help in the future would be most welcome. |

Can someone post the specs of this watch? The Size in perticular without the crown. I will always ask this question, cause If the watch doesnt have enough substance for me, Im not interested in it. I just have come to love the watches with a bit of size. I love my Rollies, but they feel so inadequate on my wrist. Thanks MM without the crown on the astronaut please. |

Heard both 40mm and 42mm as was stated from the seller I got mine fromwatch2.gif ....I will post the exact size on Tues. when mine arrives(P.O. closed Mon. due to Holiday)hand6.gif....size does not drive me in search of numbered LE's as much as rarity and scarcity as well as future collectibility and the new Astronaut fit the bill imhowoohoo.gif |

I'm still Jone's after this one to go with my original 1967. I missed one on the Bay last month by a couple minutes. Been crying about it ever since. I'm still looking! Attachment: Astro relume 002.JPG (Downloaded 41 times) |

Drool icon! If I could I would have both the original 214 backset and the new version, but alas they are out of my range for now. I am concentrating on "affordable" watches, which for me is in the $200 or less category. I am having quite a bit of fun with that though...got a CWC G10 issued quartzie on the wayhand6.gif Cheers, Griff |
