Just joined, and have had a very late 806 for years, which I wear daily. I'm always on the lookout for parts and other spares that I squirrel away in case I ever need to get my 806 repaired or refurbished.
Not sure if these are of any interest to anyone here, but seller claims the dial/face is new original unused, and appears to have an original steel bracelet for a Cosmonaut.
ebay items 221196706163 and 221196739164
Are these genuine or copies? I'm tempted by the bracelet, to replace my lizard strap.

Others know way more than me on straps / bracelets but it looks right. Dial is real but maybe it's the photo, the colours look a little off (red shows it most), so not sure about NOS - although condition is very good and looks too good to be a redial.

bracelet looks good; dial might be a service dial; lume does not seem to be from the 60s ?

I'd be very surpirsed if that dial lasts to the end of the auction. Bet he ends it early because I know he's entertaining offers.

It looks like the civilised world is limited to UK and US in the seller' s mind ... No shipping outside UK and US :guns:
