Edgel's got one... he might just put up a pic or try a search on the forum and you might come up with it...

I have to agree though, the whole concept and historical tie in make this an extra attractive watch.

And the MAN delivers... I was only four myself when this beauty cleared the atmosphere, but I do remeber my Mother sitiing me down and telling me to watch the moonshot!! She did me a SOLID that day, giving me a vague recollection of a most historical event.

Thanks to Edgel for having this beauty and just think how sweet it will be when he gets the new model.

I hope some day the watches I am aquiring now will be as timeless and desireable as Edge's Astronaut!!

Here is a Q&D of my small collection of "hummers" all made between 1963 and 1972.

I hope you disregard the lint on the dial. This is a 218 spaceview II with 14k. case and about 38mm. The original Accutrons were smaller than today's watches, most being 35 to 38mm.
