·What model watch is this? It's awesome!

OK - not a Speedy moon but parts of this one has actually been in space and it is essentially a moonwatch - apart from dial, hands, caseback and crystal.
Oh...and I know these are not new but this one was bought for the first time just a couple of weeks ago.

Nice work on that bezel Tyro Rex!

·Hi all,
Thanks for having me here. My name is Tim and I received my personal holy grail yesterday. I'm working in human spaceflight, first as an ISS Operations Engineer where I also served at Mission Control Houston and now still as a consultant. Since graduation my plan was to buy myself a watch from my first income as a personal gift for having it done. As you can imagine, when working in the space industry and in particular human spaceflight where I was in contact with our Astronauts all the time the choice was pretty clear: It will be an Omega Speedmaster. But often enough life has its own plans and fulfilling this dream was denied by expected und unexpected events. So I kept working, many times long hours, became self-employed and worked even longer hours. Over months and years I even forgot about my plan: I was too busy and budget was simply too tight. Then, for quite a long time, after my decision to become self-employed, I had to keep my expenses at the absolute minimum and worked three jobs.
But eventually, after 10 years of work I finally got it. An Omega Speedmaster. Grey Side of the Moon. Meteorite. I do realize it is not the original Moonwatch but that's by choice. I chose so, because as badass the original version was, and also the flight controllers back in the days, I'm different. I like enhancements of well-proven technologies into something modern and prefer automatic calibres. And I love the fact that I'm wearing a piece that partly originated from outer space and goes back to the days when our solar system was formed. I will never sell it and pass it on to one of my daughters (I guess I need to buy at least one more watch).
I will follow along some threads in this forum and will start enjoying my personal holy grail!
