So what are they selling them for? Is it 25% off Belgium prices?

Does anyone own or know about the Chrono-Matic Cosmonaute. My AD got 2 gold ones and a SS version in and apparantly they are LE. I looked at the bracelet and they all have a 2006 date in them. He got them from BB and is offering them at 25% discount. BTW: What is it like to own a Cosmonaute? Do you get easily used to the 24hr dial? |

They are called Chrono-Matic 24H and they have different 24 hour layout than Cosmos. There are two versions, brushed-polished steel combo and rose gold and they are LE of 1000. |

There is also another version from 2006, which is the SS LE (of 250, I believe) with a blue dial. I have both dial versions in SS. Personally, I find a 24 Hr dial no problem, as I spent time in the military and it only takes a few minutes to make the switch. -jbbb |

I love the 24 hour dial (I have two of them now - will be three if aleister or jbbb finally realise I should look after their blue chrono-matic 24H) and have no prolem at all. It takes a day or so to get used to it, but it's really easy once you do get it. |

Thanks guys for the very quick replies. The SS one is a black dialled one. The 2 other ones will probably be the rose gold version then. Thanks for reassuring me, I too use the 24 hr system a lot so I'll be giving it some thought. Maybe I should be brave and see if he can get me a blue dialled one, all my other Lings are blue... |

They were a European only (I think Italy only) issue, and are now only available in the secondary market. The black LE seems to have been around at ADs for a while, I'm really not sure why it hasn't sold so well - it's a great piece. |

I have a Cosmonaute and the mentioned blue Chrono-Matic 24H and as Roff says, you quickly get used to read the dial. The Chrono-Matic was indeed a 250 piece run and only issued for the Italian market. jbbb gave me a great tip on where to find mine - and that one was brand new, unworn, it had just waited in its box since release for me to pick it up. |

The blue version is no longer available, which was to be expected. |
