Re: Accurist photos
 

Nice comparison. I actually got the Accurist GMT317UK (i.e. the 50 deg version) with metal bracelet and leather strap. Is the version for 35 degs still available somewhere?

I got the very last all silver 35 N.
But for most Russia 50 N is the correct.
I see a lot of people got the Accurist.

Well I don't really use the watch for looking up the current sky - I'm a passionate amateur astronomer and as such I know what the sky will look like for a given time.
So these kind of watches are mostly about fascination and esthetics to me. Judging by the ads I was under the impression that the 35 deg version is a bit easier on the eyes and more "readable" since the coordinate grid seems to be a little bit wider.

Yes it is. But you miss the sunrise and sunset times and the accurate time stars will "rise" on the horizon. ;)

Пытаюсь прочитать, ничего не пойму. Наверно языками не владею.

Прошу прощения, уважаемые! Я правильно понял, что Астродею уже не выпускают и не планируют??? Запали в душу честное, слово. И да, подойдут к моему телескопу начального уровня :)

И где лучше всего их приобрести???

Эти часы имеют лупу в комплекте - и предназначены как раз для тех, у кого нет телескопов начального уровня.:)
