LesXL offered this keen watch to me and I took delivery on it mere days before Christmas, a present to myself. Ordered out a basic black leather strap from an Ebay seller. Price seemed like a "real deal." Quality though made it a bust as it didn't last six months.

All better now.

Boctok for the evening 👍

Some may remember this was a surprise gift from the love of my life, what a lucky boy I am 😀

After a couple weeks of wearing Speedmasters, it was time for a change to a favourite which doesn’t get enough exposure. I acquired a box of Accutron parts from a (now deceased) guy who fancied himself a watchmaker. He never learned that you’re not a watchmaker until after you can take ‘em to pieces, re-assemble them, and make ‘em run! This Spaceview was built out of parts out of that box. All genuine Accutron. Donor case back says 1966, but I can only guess that might be close to its age.

It's the "make 'em run" part that's the trick!
