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? |

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. |

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!! |

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. Attachment: 2006-10-02 001.JPG (Downloaded 30 times) |
