Buzz Aldrin is a giant among men in the category of not giving a shit. Where are these pictures from?

When I visited the Omega factory in the 1990s I wore 8 watches, 4 on each wrist. Small watches on the left, large watches on the right. Which is the only way to wear omega watches, which are best collected in pairs or triplets.

I think this was the lobby. First generation digital camera.

Buzz went on one of the later trips, with many of the same group in this photograph. Sadly I missed that trip as I though such times would last nearly forever, I did however participate the next one. It always seems like the one you do not have or did not do, is the one you regret.

I am working on this look. Having multiple watches on one wrist has an interesting heft and makes you look like a crazy person, both of which are great in my opinion. It entails a certain amount of clacking, however.

No, no, no. You're supposed to wear one on each wrist. You'll still look insane, but at least they don't clack together.

I feel like the crux of the Aldrin look is the multiple items per wrist.

And, multiple items on the same bracelet!

You forgot to give a shout-out to the little astronaut watch holder on his desk.

I gotta find me one of those little watch holders

When Buzz left NASA, he had two wrist watch periods: wearing a Rolex GMT-master and Rolex Sea Dweller, later Breitling in the mid-1990s
Back into an Omega period, the last couple of years, 92 years old Edwin Buzz Aldrin wore:
Lefthand:
Omega Deville co-axial chronoscope GMT
Omega Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker
Righthand:
Omega Solar Impulse HB-SIA GMT

Or you can go for the Mad Dog look and wear a Speedmaster on each limb. Now, THAT is genius. As for Aldrin, how can you not love this guy? What a life he has lived.
