Kizzi make the best NASA style velcro watchbands IMO. Not cheap but very flexible and comfortable.

I agree
I'm still going to try a GGB SPV2 though - just to see

One selling in France at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OMEGA-SPEE...4AAOSwdGFYwEZA
I didn't get an eBay alert for that from my saved searches - must check the settings
Not much information in the description
Looks good though
Looking forward to the photos; hope it gets you the comfortable wearing space look.
I'll drop him a mail about a 24mm.
Had a little space watch fun last night. My date took a photo of my Gagarin anniversary watch in front of the Yuri Gagarin Bar shield.
It was quite funny because our attention to the shield made passers by notice it and soon several were posing below it for a photo.
Well, as mentioned on page 1 of this thread I did attempt this last year but the strap didn't fit!
I did like the look though. From memory I think this was an 'Earthbound' one as opposed to an SPV2. Now that I have revisited the GGB website and looked at the drop down menus I am pretty sure I must have clicked on the wrong spring bar to spring bar measurement. The thing is that there isn't a menu choice for the 41mm that I have measured carefully with my digital callipers. I have gone for the nearest at 40mm but also added information in the text box. Ive also sent an email so hopefully all will be OK!

How did you manage to order Ian??
I am still getting the messages that he is catching up.
Would like to try an SPV3 on the Astron GPS. That should also hook up so there is no strap running underneath the case.
Here's a video I did of Ian's current watch with the bracelet fitted.
Goodness,clearly e-bay not the place to buy these.
Via forums is best I think
Even then, they are not going to be cheap!
People DO watch watches. Not with any intention but as one would 'see'. shoes, trousers, a ring etcetera. For the most part subconsciously. The unusual thus gets noticed. Some will make a remark. Depends on the situation whether you hook up with an entertaining fun story.
Cool photo
It sure fits your wrist Ian and indeed looks well made.
Congratulations!
Just added this 186.0009 as a companion. Bought it for the movement as my 186.0004 loses 30 sec per day...but now - well you know the story!
Looks good. Is that the original box and manual?
The manual is original, but since the manual doesn't fit in the box I'm guessing the box isn't original?
Thanks for that Dan.
Refreshing sanity in the currently ever too often deluded, from the tangible disconnected watch hobby.
I suppose the Apollo program was over by the time Omega built the Alaska LCDs so they were presumably destined for the shuttle?
