    Astronaut beat up is different than normal people beat up. ;)

    Didn't notice the dial. Good eye.

    People will buy any old astronaut crap. (Now, where's my checkbook.)

    Do you know who gave this to him?
    Did any other apollo12 astronauts get similar?

    Sorry, no more information than what is in the auction site. Perhaps the auctioneers would have more information. It is curious that Rolex gave a watch as i have not heard that before.

    Rolex didn't always give a lot of exposure on such events...
    Remember, 50 years ago, post-Apollo 13 mission Rolex gave astronaut Jack Swigert a Gold Rolex GMT-master as Swigert gifted his space-flown Rolex 1675 GMT-master to their museum in Geneva - Switzerland...
