Saw one yesterday while on vacation. Could tell it was a 3861 by the bracelet clasp.

Didn’t get the opportunity to compliment the wearer on his obvious good taste in watches!

I suspect tech workers have a greater interest in NASA than some other industries migh

I wear mine to work daily, and i have a coworker who I see daily who does the same. Randomly, I'll see them around the office, in the break room, etc. worn by people i don't know maybe monthly?

The Nixon bracelet fits the 1861 as a glove and are very popular to upgrade those so might not have been an 3861.

I wear mine daily! Tried a Luminox chronograph at work but it is night and day trying to read the chronograph hands being blocked by those giant Luminox hands vs the Speedmaster.

Been using the Luminox as a night stand clock for the middle of the night or on the wrist.

I very rarely see speed masters, for an every day watch I think most people would think the dial is too busy.
