Limited edition Buzz Aldrin Accutron Astronaut
Only 1000 made. I have the opportunity to get one and just want your thoughts on it.

Here is a link with all the details. I cannot believe Accutron actually made something like this.

I've read reviews stating the bezel does not move. A rotating bezel is much more useful.

Not my cup of tea, however, with a limited production of only 1000 copies made, I'd pick one up !

I like the design a lot and the movement is well proven.

you asked for thoughts... mine is that this is a gimmick. you obviously have great taste as you own an LV, so i don't understand why you would want to throw money at this? but, maybe i'm just blind to the merits of this particular piece. hope i didn't offend!

If Joshua is anything like Al and I....sometimes it's great just to have "fun" stuff in your watch collection. We both love Limited Edition stuff......gimmick or not...it's fun if the watch is a decent quality and can bring enjoyment to your collection. Al has a Tudor Small Rose.....1950-ish, that's engraved on the back. It was given to a "D. Schneider" for 25 years service by the J. M. Schneider Company...1951. He loves that watch! There's a recognizable name there, just as there is with the watch that Joshua is contemplating. Maybe somewhere along the line, you'll stumble across something that sorta "tugs" at you and you'll be just as hooked!

I know Buzz wears the other Bulova he helped design.
