Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell signed my Omega Apollo 13 45th anniversary Silver Snoopy watch box. This was at a private signing at Novaspace.com in Tucson Arizona. The Silver Snoopy box is also signed by Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise and NASA Gold Flight Director Gerry Griffin whose team helped to bring home the Apollo 13 crew. Jim loves to ham it up for the camera.

 

Cool, but watch was he wearing at the signing?

 

Judging by the bezel and the hole in the lug he's still wearing the Rolex GMT he wore during my signing.

You can read more about it here.

 

Jim Lovell usually wears a Rolex GMT Master 1675. I have met him several times and this is the watch that he likes to wear.

 

Excellent photo. What did Jim Lovell sign for you?

 

The Speedmaster case back for my collection.

 

that's fantastic, congrats

 

As a youth during the Apollo era, and a fan of the move “Apollo 13”, this is the coolest nerd stuff ever!!

 

Damn, that's freakin' awesome!!

 

Congrats! I hope to get my box signed by him someday. Guess I need to check out his travel schedule!

 

Very cool!

 

Jim Lovell was the gold standard in Astronauts. Good taste in Rolex watches too.

 

That’s pretty cool. Wonder how many omega boxes this guys sign?

 

Wearing it on the right wrist. I see he has read the handbook

 

Happy for you! I'm super jealous.
