 Bulova Accutron is bringing back the old Astronaut watch. Retails for about $1200. It is now an automatic.

 Even the Bulova website doesn't indicate size...  but they do say it is a 'controlled production run' of 1000 pieces... :)

 That is a real looker. I love the hour markers around the dial it would look real sweet around the ol' wrist. Does anyone own any of the original if so any pics?
