Thanks Fred and Eddie. Fred I thought you might still have a warm spot in your heart for her. I also like the idea of wearing the Pan during the day and changing to the Red at home.

San, LOVE the Accutron. Great iconic piece. I am thinking of getting an original, but seeing yours is making me have second thoughts! Enjoy!

Thanks Vijay, they are truly mesmerizing, hard choice between vintage or this vintage rerun which is a once off limited run of 1000 anyways, or get both for good measure:) (This is in 42mm,the vintage equivalent is much smaller but same humming tuning fork movement)

EDIT: Must add that having tried myself, finding a vintage "factory original" Alpha spaceview is quite a minefield in itself, plenty of conversions there to make normal Accutrons look like spaceviews even with the bigger known vintage websites I hear, so tread with caution! Am extremely happy with this one for now and if I find a great vintage Alpha spaceview example, even better.
