    I'm purging my collection of Timely calendars and I'm looking for a good home for this new complete set of 1969 calendars.

    If you own a Speedmaster along with a JB Champion bracelet and are interested in this set of calendars please do the following:

    Post only one image of your Speedmaster on the JB Champion bracelet. At 8pm this evening (Italy time) I will have my 11 year old daughter pick her favorite picture and the one selected will receive the calendars free of charge.

    I've been fortunate to benefit from John's charity in the past - both in terms of a few freebie calendars that he mailed over, as well as his tip-off when an eBay seller put these Western Auto ones up for sale. Bravo for continuing to spread the love mate!

    The little girl knows what she likes.

    If you PM me your shipping address tonight I can get the calendars in the mail tomorrow before the holiday maximus packidus exodus from Italy.

    I demand a recount. I think that laptop was hacked by the Russians. That might not even be a real little girl or she could be a WUS agent. Notice how that keyboard has the letter W on it ??? Very suspicious. And just how did that Speedmaster get on the Moon, that picture might have been faked in Hollywood, notice the mysterious +'s in the frame, where did they come from? Is that a real Speedmaster or is one of these inside.

    We've got teams of Montres attorneys scanning all of these suspicious "Speedmaster Thread's" as we speak
    What?, That's right this is another Speedmaster investigation.
    Notice that the "winner" is in the UK?............And William travels to the UK :cautious:
    You can see the whole NASA involvment, watch goes to the moon ::facepalm2:: , What a cover-up
    And what happened to that little dog the Russians "sent" in to space huh?
    One big fraud I tell ya, just ask Dennis.

    My question is, why didn't we see many more Speedies on JBCs? Surely there are more out there or are they "...floating in a tin can, far above the world."? I can account for three, so where are the rest, please.

    Roll call please.

    Ps. I really thought the Tintin paraphernalia would seal the deal...but the "lady's not for turning" and good on her! ::psy:::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Great choice, even though it may fall under the conspiracy umbrella as noted by cicindela. Hmmmm... most likely an Area 54 production me thinks as well. However, on a serious note, a wonderful and generous thing to do and share, John, and the intent and the fun is what makes this such a great forum to be a part of.

    Roll call please...

    Pss. I think I can account for another sixteen or so in the capable, speedy hands of Gemini4, still have all those, Marc?

    We are the last of a drying breed of old school JB Champion guys.

    I thought the Tintin rocket would capture her as well. In the end she said "I like this one because it looks like all your pictures on the Moon."

    Yeah, me too. My wife has a few of them. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George Costanza meets the creepy doll that looks like his mother.

    Yes it seems so...from what you said I was expecting them in a few weeks. Maybe they went into orbit!
