Damn. After seeing a post here I realized I'm too weak. :) So, got this by the mail today...

And then also one with a black croco on...

Interesting, I believe the dial is (very) dark blue - it sure looks black in most angles, but then in some specific angles and the right light you see it's absolutely blue.

And the part that I'm too weak - I'm expecting another package from Italy in the middle of next week... :oops:

A beautiful piece, Aliester. One wonders what could possibly be
coming from Italy -- a special brand of pasta, perhaps? You will let us know, of course? 8)

Wear your Cosmonaute with great pride and distinction.

Nice going Aleister! :thumbsup:

You, Ron and Roff have got a lot answer for! After my breif flirtation with a couple of manual wind Russian watches a few years ago, I was sure I'd never even look at another manual wind............ and yet, thanks to you lot showing us these babies, I'm finding myself curiously drawn to one!!! Noooooooooooooo!

Thanks a lot, everyone! I really like it!

Mario: You're very right about that next package... :)

Connoisseur: No, that's the wooden floor of my kitchen. :) The kitchen had the best natural light when I took the pics...

Driver: You know you'll end up in the manual "swamp" again... :wink:

Great piece isn't it Aleister!!

That Lemania is a work of art, and there were indeed some blue dialled versions of the A12023. I can see it still has the delrin brake, and looks like the 17 jewel version - slightly unusual with a higher number like that, many of the later ones were 18 jewels.
