Damn, Hey Houghy, ask 'em if we can get it cheaper if we buy two! Ask 'em when there next production run is.

I have emailled Citizen Australia, asking if they are still available and how much.
I will post the reply.

I think there are several of us that want a watch such as this so maybe we should start a DEFINATE buyers list

Hey maybe Mike can re-badge a bulk order as the Official IIS Astro-watch.

I have received a reply from Citizen watches.
Sorry Guy's and Gal's.
Here is the reply.

Dear Mike,

I'm sorry to advise that the company supplying those astro watch models ceased several years ago. They no longer supply watches and I'm sorry but I do not know of anyone that would have them.

Regards,
Zoe
