Christmas Present?

[bucko170]

The forum has gone a little quiet, I figure everyone must be out buying presents for Christmas, so what is everyone hoping for from Santa this year?

I was hoping for a Longine's Pentagon a Aitron wrist radio with LED watch, a Longine's Comet or maybe the wife has noticed that P1 on eBay (I wish).

Based on experience you might have to wait a while - my two are 20 and 21 and I am still waiting.

Good morning Guys. I feel going Analog today. California is waking up let's take my Astronaut for a spin and go for breakfast. What an idiot I though I was on Facebook

Nice analogue - the outer ring reminds me of the Seiko 'Think The Earth' watch...

Very nice watch of yours Mick. I'm developing at taste for this vintage watches with chapter rings, the Accutron astronaut is a cool watch, It screams Space age at any angle, M2 1962 and still running strong and keeping good time. Perfect size for my wrist. A truly example of American watchmaking and industrial design.

I am always on the look out for the date code M7 as it matches my date of birth and I think it would be cool to wear a watch as old as myself. I don't own the Seiko 'Earth' I just borrowed a photo from the web.

1967, a magic number, the in between of the old and the new.
1st unmanned Saturn V flight to test Apollo 4 reentry module.
1st Boeing 737 rolls out
US launches Surveyor 6; makes soft landing on Moon Nov 9
BBC starts their own popular music radio station
SST prototype "Concorde" 1st shown (France
1st British color TV broadcast.
The list goes on, I found this because I'm just behind You, 1966 I had a 1967 VW beetle that was the first one to come with 12 volt instead the the usual 6v.
It'll be nice to wear a watch of your date though.

1966 a good year, England won the football World Cup in July, I was born nine months later in April 1967 so I figure either my father wasn't a football fan and found other avenues of entertainment or he enjoyed the victory by, err.....well you know.
