Hi,
my 3rd 'space watch' arrived in the post this morning, a 2-56 dated Russian Sturmanskie (Navigator). The case has a nice used look about it and it has a new face and glass. The movement seems to be in nice condition and quite well made. I found a strap that suits it pretty well.
Here are all three of my 'space watches' together with a few items to go with them.

It seems funny that my latest watch for my collection cost me $49.00 and my first (Speedy) was almost $1700!
I really like the little Sturmanskie, it has it's place in history too; I like the Fortis for technical reasons, and the Speedy is a real classic!
(I can only dream of Breitling Navtimers and Glycine Airmen at the moment!).
cheers,
