Thanks again Brian, couldn’t have blow more of my children’s inheritance without your help!
70’s Vintage Spaceman/Fortis
I have Brian ( Indebtbutontime ) for sending me down this rabbit hole . He shared a pic of the 70’s era Spaceman designed by Andre Le Marquand , this intrigued me, as I did not own a Vintage watch at the time. There were a number of companies making this ...
OMG, I had no idea you had that tattoo!
Well all you have to do to see ALM’s inspiration for that quirky case shape is look at that astronaut’s helmet on your arm! Congratulations!
I got that one in LA ( we have used LA artist - Dr.Woo & Max Hanson ) I didn’t make the connection initially, just sorta cam together.
Thanks for the help with this decision, your expertise helped me immensely!
You’re very welcome Larry.
It’s always fun to share horological information and enthusiasm.
Certainly a very funky piece 👌🏻👍🏻
These are great fun and the 70s were full of them. While I cannot join with a Spaceman, the Amida Digitrend is of a similar vintage 😁 ...
SUPER rare, they made 150,000! LOL
It’s a good question, because there are a couple of versions of the Spaceman, mine and another style that didn’t really appeal to me.
