| Just won this late '60s Accutron Astronaut Mark II. This fairly rare tuning fork model features a cushion case, GMT hand, black dial, red second hand, and red date window. This one is unfortunately equipped with a curved-end bracelet that doesn't match the cushion case shape. Before I placed my bid on this Accutron I found a genuine Accutron bracelet with straight ends that will look great on this watch. I'll show a bunch of photos when I get it in a week or two.   Here's the NOS bracelet I picked up (for $149.00!!!!!!):

| Hey Tom, Congratulations. You are like a "hit-man" when it comes to finding these gems. Your relentless searching, sites become aligned, you pull the trigger and "SCORE." Love the look. I think the straight end bracelet will go nicely with this watch. | |
