Yup here it is!


Absolutely brilliant. I wish my parents had that foresight! This is why I'm giving my kids great watches now (in the hope that they'll cherish them like you have done with yours).

Happy Birthday, such fond memories!
My second major purchase after school in the early seventies was a racing disk Mark II. A co-worker had the moonwatch and I didn't want to copy him. I still have it and the little foil price tag that was on the box in the display, $225.
Still like the moonwatch and after this might start looking for one. Bookends to an adult life!

Alongside some lovely alcoholic beverages (hic!), I got two super books about the Apollo missions and the moon watch, together with a piece of foil from the command module itself. Very cool indeed. Thanks to SWMBO for her great choices!
