    Was walking to baggage claim in the Cincinnati airport (CVG) and spotted a display with this guy in it:

    Yup, that's a Speedmaster on his wrist:

    I couldn't tell if it is a fake, but the bezel is wrong. Didn't care, just thought is was cool.

    There's also a plastic astronaut in the Orlando International Airport (MCO)...but without a Moonwatch...so I loaned the plastic astronaut my Moonwatch (with Omega replica NASA strap) for two minutes...good times! :thumbsup:

    It's on the wrong wrist, or way too low on the wrist, mostly the left wrist was reserved for the cuff checklist... some with Bunnies :D

    Dang! :mad:

    Do-over! Do-over! :D

    Hit the reset button! Hit the reset button! :D

    I'll get it right next time...I see the plastic astronaut quite a little bit. :thumbsup:

    I watched the video (thank you for posting it, sir)...too freaking hilarious (and awesome) regarding what was hidden in the cuff checklist...good times! :thumbsup:
