Brand new with unsized bracelet and all protective plastics still in place!

I ordered from AliExpress and was sent the wrong watch. After almost a month of trying to get them to issue a refund, I finally gave up and am selling myself.

These go for about $270 on AliExpress (with all those issues) or $320 on the official San Martin store. I know I can't recover what I paid but just want some of it back so I can try again to order the version I want.

Get a fantastic deal at $250 NOW…

Greetings all! I've been intentionally staying away from here as much as possible for the past couple years for reasons that will soon become evident. My son, has become interested in watches, though, and it has rekindled things for me as well. He has severe clinical OCD, and it concerns me because I know a thing or two about obsessions myself. See, mine all started by deciding I was going to try to get a diver with every color dial:

I broke my almost year-long 'no-buying' hiatus after I saw this one in person at the Kennedy Space Center Gift Shop on my recent vacation. I love it so much that I decided I want the more expensive meteorite dial version now that I've looked at the entire collection online. So, this fantastic orange one must go.

It is literally brand new and has honestly only been worn once! It includes, obviously, the entire kit with cool NASA themed case.

Here are the full specifications...

What else is there to say about this iconic watch except to point out the interesting bits one might miss. This one has the 2:00 crown case which is pretty unusual. I don't know if it's a faded black dial version or a darkened green dial, honestly, but this specimen has a brown dial. It also has a very cool cracking going on on the dial from aging, that you can see in the pictures.

As for age, the best I can find online, I'm pretty sure this iteration is from sometime in the 80s and...
