    Or the # is literal and Buzz's watch was hocked in a pawn shop in Florida, the lender was two days late with his final payment and the new owner immediately handed it back to NASA/Omega.
    ;)

    I'm Here standing by patiently with my fingers crossed.

    Funny you should mention an epic post. That is exactly what I'm working on. T-Minus 528 hours and counting with no planned holds. All systems looking good.

    Like I said earlier, I'm waiting patiently but finding Buzz's watch might be more realistic than a 50th anniversary watch for Gemini 4. I hope I'm wrong.

    Urquhart and Aldrin both do the dual watch thing so you're in good company

    My father, many years ago, was at some event and General Stafford was signing astronaut pictures, so he got one signed for me as well.

    He is a fascinating man and still incredibly sharp, and passionate...

    @maxtor71 I didn't plan on wearing 2 watches, I had the '57 on, but when I saw that Stafford was there, I had to run up to the room and put the Soyuz on!

    His was 204, mine 234!
