Ten days after the Gemini IV mission, astronauts James McDivitt and Edward White visted Washington D.C....
Do You think Ed White still wore his NASA-issued Speedmaster 105.003-63 on a velcro strap in this NASA photo ... or on a steel mesh bracelet ?

This June 10, 1965 photo shows Gemini IV astronaut Edward White with his son talking to ABC news journalist Jules Bergman.
Jules Bergman covered NASA events and later also wore an Omega Speedmaster chronograph as his daily beater.
However, notice that Ed White, 3 days after the mission, still wore his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 105.003-63 on a black velcro strap.
