I just bought a ratty Swiss made Spaceview 'T' 700 for cheap. Its a JDM watch so has the brick bracelet. Came with enough wrist cheese/growth to start a lawn under my bonsai tree... I have a NOS sweep hand and will get it serviced.

July 26, 1962... X-15 flight 64
Between 1960 & 1962, Civil NASA test pilot Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) was part of the hypersonic research project using the NAA North American Aviation rocket-powered X-15 aircraft.
Armstrong attempted 11 flights and was able to perform 7 free flights in the black X-plane. As did at least 8 of the 12 X-15 test pilots, on some flights Armstrong wore a battery-powered tuning-fork movement Accutron Astronaut GMT pilot watch on black strap.
Remember, the 1962 official NASA group 2 selection photo shows Neil Armstrong among " the New Nine" ( or "the Next Nine") clearly wearing an Accutron Astronaut GMT pilot watch on coffin bracelet.

I hate to add to the need to own list, but you'll need an Astronaut as well.
