The post office just delivered this Astronaut ll .  I got it to compliment my collection of my two other Bulova Astronauts . Bulova has seen to install three different types of movements for each . 

 My first Astronaut is a vintage Accutron with the 214 Tuning fork movement . My second is the Automatic Buzz Aldrin signed limited edition version  .  And my latest is the Astronaut ll with the Very accurate Precisionist movement ,...what a smooth second hand .

Here's a look at the second hand's sweep......

 

I chose the economical blue model with the blue textured leather strap because of its simplicity that seems to highlight the smooth second hand's sweep .

Not a bad price at all....

      1947 NOS Ambassador 'C'. Actually, the case came without the movement so the movement isn't NOS, but she sure is pretty.

      one of the problems we have is visible versus invisible. For instance millennium disulfide another high pressure lubricant black in color. I was told by somebody worked for the Boeing company that they had a piston like device somewhere that has eight call it around it to grab it so it has to slide and in the collet has to grab. But if somebody puts that type of dry grease on where grease with that in it it embeds itself basically in the metal and they have to throw the whole part away they get use it all. So I suspect on all the dry powdery lubricants that they will go into all the basically microscopic cracks and crannies of the metaland that's where it is visually at least until you scrub it off your visually going to see it which is good because you want your lubrication the stay word is. But I'm sure it doesn't last forever on the metal it's just a really nice lubrication
