Scientific tribute to Apollo XI

 

Speedy tuesday on a friday.

 

Interesting. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Always good to have documentation.

 

Yes. Got certificates of authenticity and pictures just like you show in your post.

I bought the watch specifically to be autographed at an event last spring.

The watch has never even been on anyone's wrist!

care to share picture and certificates......

 

Sure, but I have to ask, are you curious and want to have a conversation about our cool autographed watches and how awe inspiring Michael Collins is or are you just challenging my integrity? ;-)

Eric

 

I want to see the cool autographed stuff. Anyone can say anything but to see it, it is always better. That’s what this whole thread is about and why I started it.

It is “Show us your Speedmaster Moon”

 

I had a brief urge to show you a real moon, but I figured that I'd avoid thread drift.....

I hate to say it, Michael Collins looks like he's aged quite a bit since TLI's photo. I hate to see these heroes aging and dying. They're certainly from a different era....

 

A while ago, I've bought a fairly neglected Transitional (145.022-68)...



... today my watchmaker sent me this picture. Looks like I've spotted a nice dial.

Deal. Here’s my Pro alongside Jim Lovell’s autograph in my copy of ‘Lost Moon.’ My dad has Michael Collins’ on a framed print but he lives 70-odd miles away and I’m currently not supposed/allowed to visit

 

I like the striped band. Nice!

I do like a NATO, and this is one of my favourites

 

I didn’t see the NATO aspect until you said it. I don’t wear that style because I have small wrists. I do have a kickstarter watch (Wingman) that I bought with the NATO though.

How small is “small?” Mine are only 7”

 

That's a loaded question, but as far as my wrist goes, I had never measured until you asked. 7"

Baby got back...

I like the pics. Nice.
