I mentioned I have a 1967 Accutron Astronaut model. That got his attention and he said most people had never heard of them.
I then mentioned the watched I got from Richard. I need some guide to prices and placed to sell them.
I may start a thread about the watches and see if any 928 fans are out there. Some are new, still in the original box. Some, like the Porsche Design watch is worn, and would likely need a good cleaning. |
Those 928 watches are sought after on the 928 forums. Posting it there will make it sell fast for probably north of a grand. I looked at the thread after his passing and they have still been changing hands regularly.
I’d love to have one of them, purely because I love the design and remember seeing Richard working on them. But I know couldn’t drop the kind of cash it’s worth given that I haven’t worn a watch in over a year! 🤣
I didn’t know you had an Accutron! That’s another watch I’d love to own. I love the space view with the clear case. So neat to be able to see the workings, and the design is peak ‘60s!
