I don´t like the engravings on the case much, but I think I could ignore that just in this case....
Seems well documented, and I assume it will reach a gazillion dollars at the end...
Not bad the 18K on sale either? Wonder how many @Barking mad have up to now?

😜

@Barking mad will have no interest in this one. It's Apollo 17 and he's a straight up Apollo 11 kind of guy.👍

I wouldn't want to bet on that. Maybe at least the gold Apollo 17? How 'bout both of them

what a cheapskate in hand engraving it himself. I wonder what your average astronaut pay is anyway? Myself I would have had 30 dollar store timexes strapped to my limbs...........oh the profit!

So this one is not the property of NASA?
Any guess on what it might go for?

$250k
