: I am a little bit of a Hammy Count-Down Guru.

: Have my ebay searches programmed, but somehow
: missed this.

: Your value is right on the money. I came across
: this model in 2000. I even refered Maddox a
: pic and he picked one up soon after.

: I did some research, and there is a fair amount
: of evidence that this was a runner up moon
: watch.
: NASA lists the Hamilton Watch Company as one of
: the ones its tested. And Hamilton was very
: in tune with the go-go space-ism of the lat
: 60s.
: It provided the 2001 A Space Odyssee set with
: their watch model and had some advertising
: to that effect.

: My take is that Hamilton was trying to compete
: with the FLightmaster.

: Anyway I have seen 8-10 for sale (came under
: Jaquet Droz brand too): 2000-2005: -2000:
: Joseph Watches had 2: $1500

: bands, same as Zenith Square Blue, Heuer,
: Zodiac))

: -2003 $600+ beat version; stuck crowns
: -2004 $1500 brokered sale by me of NOS, on
: behalf of another CA seller to midwest
: buyer, $100 fee
: -Moonwatch $3000; overpriced

: I happenedd tw collect other 22m bands, for
: this one with Hamilton "H" and
: another with + Zodiac logo.

: I would let it grow on you; hands down out of
: 85 watches....it gets all the compliments.

: The buttons were originall "safety
: red" anadized; crowns were color
: coordinated with hands, inner world timer
: bezel, 24hr ring. Your seconds hands i not
