At Christmas I got the Apollo patches as a present from my wife. The Speedmaster dealers sign I have had for years. The frame came from a thrift shop. A spare hour over the weekend later I have a unique personal item which will go with my other Omega and NASA stuff. Bit of fun and hope you like it. Before any one says it yes there is a mistake in the patch order! Makes it even more personal...jolly difficult to photograph however so apologies for that. One shot with my 1969 Speedie then the Speedie collection...

 

That is a great collection of patches your wife got ya.

 

Orlando airport NASA shop FYI....My Disney souvenir!

 

I can only say WOW it's a very nice set you've got there... Just started with my first Speedie and I hope I will get to something like you collection someday.

My set is different, but I also have a patch collection I will be displaying soon.

 

What a sweet gift from the wife!

 

Always nice to see some displays... talking of which, I have been asked by several societies, watch dealers and GTG to put up an Apollo 11 related display with "rare" items. So here are a few bits & pieces going to a shop window of an AD before travelling onwards to several GTG in Switzerland

Here is a cool poster

Awesome tribute

Based on the original May 1967 Apollo Manned Lunar Landing GOSS Mission Profile poster which I got via the Mission Planning & Analysis Divsion

1967 Apollo Manned lunar Landing

What they landed in 1967 and just didn’t get out

 

Love all the people who have their own little place of space at home...

 

Apollo Mission Planning & Analysis Divsion did everything what was in their name, up to the Skylab program

Superb hobby backed up with a superb collection of interesting items. I bought a set of the badges that came with the 50th anniversary release from a seller in Japan a couple of years ago and love looking at them sat in on the display shelf.

 

That is a cool collection. Not sure which is part is my favorite... maybe all of it.

 

Outstanding collection and presentation!

ps: Is that a speedsonic? (third from right to left, in the 'quartz omega' box). I considered a few times the idea of buying one of the 'hummers' from the period...

 

Given the collection (Moonwatches, Speedsonic, Speedmaster 125), it would be cool to get the original ad:

 

Yes it is. I have two mirror dial Speedsonics. One on lobster bracelet and one on very rare Corfam deployment as in that advert. I should get an original copy of that!
Might be letting that Corfam one go at some stage to fund another Speedie .

 

Keep it simple, get approval from the Wife
