April 2005 was a good month

Rodina was the first wrist watch in space -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wristwatches in Space - A Time Line 1961 April 12: Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man in space and the first to orbit, while wearing a Soviet State-Mandated Sturmanskije watch. Sources differ about the watch... The "Time in Space" IWW magazine article reports that Gagarin wore a Sturmanskije chronograph, while this Poljot site , and the RusGoods site claims that he didn't. While the case for the non-chrono is compelling, I note what the IWW article states as I don't know for sure which one he actually wore. Howard Webb who hails from the UK recently contacted me with additional insights on the topic and he states that Mr. Gagarin wore a Rodina time only watch. Howard has also picked up an example of the same model as Gagarin's which is pictured at right. Other Soviet Cosmonauts have been quoted as wearing Sekonda Chronographs. While the Russian-made watches were reliable and accurate enough, Russian cosmonauts reportedly later coveted the Omega Speedmaster worn by their American rivals

Yes! The soviets were first and BULOVA was probably the first captitalist watch in orbit However and this might be true: The First watch worn in to (= outside capsule = on an EVA) space...Edward H. White II's NASA Issued Speedmaster (ST105.003)

.....nice spinn

certainly looks like it 1734 Daniel Boone was born on November 2, 1734 American explorer, frontiersman and legendary hero who helped blaze a trail through Cumberland Gap, a notch in the Appalachian Mountains near the juncture of Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. 1734-1820 I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks 1755 Marie Antoinette was born on November 2, 1755 French queen Consort of France, wife of Louis XVI. 1755-1793 I have seen all, I have heard all, I have forgotten all. 1795 James Knox Polk was born on November 2, 1795 American 11th US president (1845-49). Under his leadership the United States fought the Mexican War (1846-48) and acquired vast territories along the Pacific coast and in the Southwest. 1795-1849 No president who performs his duties faithfully and conscientiously can have any leisure. 1865 Warren G. Harding was born on November 2, 1865 American president, 1865-1923 I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies in a fight. But my friends, my goddamned friends, they're the ones who keep me walking the floor at nights! 1906 Luchino Visconti was born on November 2, 1906 Italian film director, 1906-1976 It seems that boredom is one of the greatest discoveries of our time. If so, there's no question but that he must be considered a pioneer.

I wear Liverpool FC on my inside only Club Shop items do not mix well with the type of watches I like to wear

I just cant imagine a Liverpool fan wearing this watch it is a marvelous piece of design but would you really take them to a match or even swimming?

LFC is the very best
