I love these watches, it looks awesome on that strap. 🍻
Someday I am going to buy a 1969 spaceview...

Yeah, I definitely prefer this strap to what was more conventional for it back in the day. I credit @Crazy_Dana for the strap idea.

I found mine on eBay last year from someone who restored them. The crystal and hands are new old stock.
Great watch 👍🏻

55 years later and it still runs and looks as good as new.

It’s still the strap I use on mine

They are not new old stock they’re Swiss reproductions. I’ve bought the same ones brand new. Theoretically the hands could be but if that crystal was new old stock it would have lume pips in the markers. 60’s era conversion crystals are extremely rare. In 10 years of looking I’ve never seen one for sale, just ones on very well used watches.
Oh man, this crazy! I really like this timepiece!💯

Well, that might explain why the hand lume is better than I expect for 60’s lume technology. The crystal looks new. I didn’t realize people were making reproduction crystals this many decades later

Yes, I’ve gottten new hand sets of both types from Clark on eBay. These are both reproductions.
This timepiece is something special for us watch nerds.

Yes, I think a non-watch nerd would not even take notice.

They’re missing out!
A warning about that strap. I just had my second one fail. When I first recommended it I did not know they had a problem just keep an eye out for it. They fail at the bottom of the buckle on the back.

Thanks for the warning! 😬
