Thoughts on my 1964 spaceview 214?

I had found a good deal on watchexchange for 250. All parts original factory. Put an accucell 1 battery in and replaced the crumbly old gasket and it started right up after some hard taps against my palm. It came with a vintage Maxwell extendo style bracelet that I didn’t love the look of. Purchased an 18mm forstner bullet bracelet (they discontinued the 17.5mm in the US) and filed it down gently to fit in lugs. I also have a genuine crystal replacement coming in from EBay soon I picked up for 25 bucks. This one looks quite nice after some polywatch, but it does have a small crack in the bottom right and for the piece of mind I think the new crystal is worth it.

I can’t stop admiring it, even though I have plenty of watches in my collection this one is special.
It will get lots of wear time and life until I grow old.

How does aliexpress strap look paired with the almighty wavy dial?

Pretty comfy for 15 bucks, trying to decide if I should've went with a subtler color. Hard to find straps for my 8 inch wrist but this CTS style gives you like 16 inches of strap so it's no issue at all.

I like this watch a lot. I got it for 650 shipped on watchexchange, tossed the crappy box Mido uses. It keeps very very good time from factory within COSC.

Automod wants me to write a whole story so I will say I like this watch a lot. I got it for 650 shipped on watchexchange, tossed the crappy box Mido uses. It keeps very very good time from factory within COSC. Any comments or questions go nuts! 🥜

Is the price adjustment button still a thing?

I remember way back when I used to buy a lot of stuff from here I would check my delivered orders after a week or two and be eligible for a lot of small refunds on items that dropped price, some stuff delivered a few days ago and I no longer see an option to check for price adjustments etc. did they quietly kill that feature?

Express replacement G9N panel to replace my original G9N panel.

What are the odds? I didn’t want to replace my iPhone with a busted sounding speaker for the longest time because I like the G9N panel a lot as I’ve had or used almost every single other one and prefer this one, replacement comes in today in the white repair box and lo and behold another G9N. 😎

I know people are going to ruin my good time but I’m stoked and just wanted to share.

From AI regarding the 2 controversial ESTA answers

“The confusion around these answers highlights how the Swatch ESTA quiz was designed to test highly specific, internal brand knowledge rather than easily searchable facts.
Regarding the Beat Time, the exact landing of the Lunar Module Eagle (20:17:40 UTC) converts to 21:17:40 in Biel Mean Time (BMT). When calculated precisely, this equals @887.27 beats. The answer @886.7 suggests Swatch may have used a different reference point—such as the exact moment the landing sequence was initiated or a specific internal timestamp—rather than the official touchdown time.
As for the 28 Rolling Planets, while public campaigns heavily featured 9 to 11 main cars representing the original MoonSwatch collection, the number 28 likely refers to the total global fleet, including regional promotional vehicles and "mini" Rolling Planets used for specific local events. This level of detail would be difficult to verify without internal company knowledge, which seems to have been the intent behind the quiz's design.”

Tissot prx 40mm does it come with extra links?

Just received my prx today, a tad small on my 7.75 inch wrist and no extra links in box unless i need to tear apart the inner box more. Is it normal to not receive any extra?

Worth modding my genuine 1965?

A bit pricey but the upside would be the subdials work correctly and the dial qc? Btw I just have a suede strap thrown on it rn. Is it one of those things where it doesn’t really make sense to use genuine?

My Popov leather wallet after 4 years

Best 40 bucks I’ve probably spent, carry it everyday and it’s definitely been tossed around, not babied in any way. I also wear their belt every day I got for 60 bucks at the time.
I understand the ability to offer lifetime guarantee because I’m positive I’ll never need it. I believe they’re Canadian based but surely matches American made if not exceeds it.

Did anyone else notice, action button works while screens not on now!

As someone who uses the action button for flashlight my biggest complaint was needing the screen to be on in some way before it would register me holding the action button, now it works even if screen is down or not on etc. improvement in my use case for sure.
