eddog Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Sign me up as well!! I'd take one in a heartbeat! I've always loved speedmasters, but these are just so cool!!
gran Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Horrific watch..this is the horological equivalent of BayWatch
docblackrock Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Ah the old white dial and ridiculous red hockey puck 'Alaska'. Gens aren't holding onto their value and there's plenty to be had. No interest from the rep makers I'm sure, remember a conversation with Josh a good while back, just too weird/unpopular a model. Love the Skylab 3/6 subdial hands though.
redwatch Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 I don't really care about the hockey puck attachment, but I do like the stark white dial!
trailboss Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Ya, just a little too wierd for me to want a rep. If you had a big collection of gen moonies you would want one but where would you actualy wear it unless you have a seat on Virgin Space Lines? BTW, the seller in not correct in saying an auto will not self wind in zero gee. Inertia will still provide some winding effect, just not as much as inertia plus gravity. Col.
modelizer Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 I don't really care about the hockey puck attachment, but I do like the stark white dial! +1 That red hockey puck has got to go. But the speedy itself with its clean white dial is stunning IMO..
Member X Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 I assume the puck is for operating your watch when you're suited and drifting through space, which is quite cool but it's not like you could wear the attachment out in public... lol There's one of these in the shop near me that hasn't sold for a long time!
krpster Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 I have to agree with the others...Nice looking speedy with the clean white dial and cool shaped hands. The red puck...I dunno...I think I actually kind of like it . Of course I'd have to see it in person to make the final judgement.
mastergod Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I don´t see the problem with the red puck. Obviously, you don´t wear the complete rig unless you´re in space. And if you´re going to space, you probably get a gen for free, and there´s nobody to laugh at you out there anyway. Probably. MG EDIT: If "they" won´t rep it because its too weird, they could still make some money by offering a modding-kit Edited September 11, 2009 by mastergod
Jimster Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Why do they call it the Alaska project? That reminds me - When was the last time a Canadian Hockey team won The Stanley Cup?
