Steve, I congratulate you on your incredibly thick skin (and cranium). A lesser (or more reasonable) man would have seen the futility of your mission and punched-out long ago. No one can call you a quitter. Now, I remember this story when it first surfaced. When was that? Seems like 15 or 20 yrs ago. Steve, you say you found the watch on a beach in Santa Barbara. Is that right? Lovely town, except for that ugliness with the mudslide a few years back. Anyway, my understanding was that Buzz and family had been frolicking at said beach at some point, and you found the watch many years later? Can you go over that part again? Or am I completely wrong about Buzz at the beach? His story, and NASA's, has always been that he shipped the watch to the Smithsonian, and it never arrived. Right? I think it's cool if you just found a vintage Speedmaster at the beach after decades. Did Edwin confirm he had been to the beach where you found it? Was that trip to beach publicized before you found the watch? Like in a magazine, etc. What was the condition of the watch when you found it? Who did the service? It must have been quite a job. And, and this is an important and, why have you ignored every request for photos of the watch? Are there photos posted somewhere else? Are there photos showing the engraved markings available somewhere?
The worst part is, I imagine we would all love for your watch to be the missing ultimate Speedmaster. I know I wish it were, regardless of who legally owns it. (And I'm pretty sure you're at least 3rd in line no matter how you view the legal ownership aspect.) Where is Matlock or Indiana Jones when you really need them?
I am ashamed to admit I watched that entire video, and it is very likely I know less than ever as a result. It was completely without value and provided zero information. I am beginning to see why many here are not able to simply ignore Steve, but they are ANGRY. I'm perturbted that he caused me to waste those few minutes watching that video. From here on, if I post in this thread, shame on me.
