    I have been watching this thread with great interest over the last few months. It's always great to find another piece of the watches on the moon mystery solved. It seems to be a significant revelation this morning upending conventional wisdom that it was possible a Waltham chronograph was used on the moons surface.

    Thought this might be of interest to a few of the astronaut watch fans around here.

    Very interesting read, thanks for putting it up. So much back is those days wasn't well documented, and always nice to se another piece of the puzzle fitted in place. Assuming all the players in that thread are legit, seems definitive to me.

    That's a cool looking Bulova chrono... likely an experimental piece. I've certainly never seen anything like it in the wild, with those funky pushers.

    Glad you enjoyed the link. I think it's a great piece of information to add to the history of flown watches.
