but its out of jail now and on my wrist and i love it 
I had been seriously looking at getting a vintage Accutron Astronaut but not only were they out of my price range,i had a feeling that i would worry about wearing an expensive 1960's watch to work,would it stand up to the rigours of modern life?
By pure chance i spotted this modern reissue for sale and its way more practical for me than a vintage model.
I was curious about the Day/Night bezel,i hadnt seen this on any vintage 'Astronaut' model but after some research i found that they did make a version with this type of bezel.
Good old Buzz Aldrin,who likes to plant his signature wherever he can,has signed these limited edition reissues on the half display back.
So here it is,bigger than the original and with an automatic ETA 2893-2 GMT movement.
Here is the vintage version.....
Chris has been worried about this watch getting here since he posted it 3 weeks ago.
You can relax now Chris,many thanks
that calls for a new avatar.....hope not all of you know the character
