    It was shipped this morning so I'll get some pics up when it gets here.

    There's a lovely looking maroon to black fade on the dial I'm watching at the minute too. I'll not bid on that one but interested to see how much it goes for.

    Is that the older model with the black dial and blue bezel? Seems hard get. I've been tempted by the all black one a few times. Looks to be a new all blue one
    .

    Makes a great beater watch.

    It was a black dial black bezel ones. I just swapped out the bezel insert as I couldn't find the blue version anywhere

    You hear about people in the states getting the black MDV106 for $30 or $40 in Walmart. Unreal value.

    It's more like €70 or €80 over here.

    It's gone up a good bit in price used to just be £40 to 45 on amazon uk it's £90 now! Can get it from amazon .com for $68 ~€61 with duty paid.

    Thanks, Got it off eBay a few years back and hasn’t been worn much, took it out today to give it a wind and put it up on adverts but I changed my mind after a few minutes:)

    I was in the horology section of the Deutschs museum this afternoon , they had a small display of wristwatches and sure enough it had an accutron spaceview in a cushion case. I put mine up to my ear for the hum.

    Lovely looking watch, wear well.

    Bought a few cheap watches in my time but I'm truly blown away by the build quality of these two I got recently. Click the picture for prices

    I've bought watches based on these reviews and I think these one are higher quality.

    How do the 'diamonds' on the second one actually look?

    There was a Cadisen I was thinking of picking up ages ago (after I gave my dad my other Cadisen) that had one of those diamonds at 12 and it really put me off.

    If anything they are more subdued than the picture .. if you look at reviews of the watches some will have pictures of them on the wrist

    Out of a modest enough selection, this one tends to see a lot of wrist time.....

    Very grown up! I like the 24h one hand complication. Why doesn't it say Vostok on the dial anywhere though?

    It seems to have been a day of deliveries!

    My HKEd Bund V3 has finally arrived! :D
    I bloody love it, it's absolutely mint!
    Also came with a lovely 5 slot travel roll too, that was an unexpected bonus.

    Very very nice B. Looks the absolute spit of the Heuer. Which was a Leonidas design(they bought the company to get it), copied from a standard for pilots watches going back to WW2.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    As you know from my drooling after your Heuer ;)
    It's been a grail of mine for quite a while.
    I've only had this for 2 hrs and it's already convinced me that should the opportunity ever come my way to pick one up for a reasonable price I'll definitely buy 1!

    The watch wears an awful lot smaller than I expected it too aswell!
    Another thing you were right about ;)
