Wow :mega:

A lovely collection, I can see one available space, it would be a shame not to fill it ;-) - unless of course that is the watch you are wearing. :-D

I actually have a 'B' Case Model 201 Railroad accutron watch out getting serviced so when it returns, it will go in that slot. :Hi: And I cropped off the top 8 watches in this case so I could isolate just the accutrons. Unfortunately I always have room for a few more. 8-)

Very nice Astronaut!!!

Yes, all my Astronauts have the factory JB Champion Bullet Bands (2 are Gold Filled on the gold watches and the rest are Stainless on the Stainless watches) and one of my older M2 Gold Astronaut has the period correct Kreisler Coffin Link (Gold one) pre-1964. :Hi:

That's a seriously impressive collection! They have an impressive history of usage in the X15 and early US space programs, and are a charismatic and fascinating bit of technology of the time.
I had one for a while - here's my video of it.
