Columbia gets a "black eye" from a screw-head
Aug 15, 2013,11:03 AM
and without wanting to get into deep and dangerous waters, the directions indicated by the screw-head may be carrying a not so subtile message about the transportation of highly desired but illegal goods.
Unfortunately - and involuntarily, as I hope!
Having seen other pictures of the Gagarin with Columbia likewise obliterated from the map, I can only say that -- aesthetically -- the dial is ruined for me.
Sad because the Whoosh from lift-off into orbit, although "lifted" from the russian monument to Yuri Gagarin, has a lot going for it!
Art, you are positively free to delete this post, but I see no reason to "crack" down upon or "screw" a recognized country - using an anniversary watch dedicated to the first space "hero".
A slip-up or bad taste or just "me" again - showing bad taste?
Cordially ;-)
