    The Apollo XV 35th Anniversary edition arrived today and I had to take a group shot! The Mark IV has been sold to someone already (just waiting for them to arrange pickup) so I will have a spare space... the Soyuz Meteorite thread has made up my mind I think!

    look at all those colors! So how do you decide which to wear and when? I would go nuts and just wear them all at once.

    The Alaska is definitely a weekend watch on that strap and I can't wear the Mark IV as it's waiting for it's new home... for the other 3 it takes ages to decide and then I normally change it to another when I get home from work!

    Not sure what a group of Speedmasters is called, maybe a shower, like a meteorite shower? Lets go with that!

    BTW a group of unicorns is called a blessing, so if you ever see a group of them together you can tell your friends and family "That right there is a blessing of unicorns".

    You learned something today you weren't expecting. A Blessing of Unicorns.

    I'm going to suggest a prevarication of Speedmasters ...

    ... "No, honey, I didn't pay that much for it" ... "It will be worth more when we sell it" .... "Let's not sell it just yet" ...

    I am sorry folks this is not a contest . There already is a name and it makes perfect sense.

    A Flight of Speedmasters. (or Speedys)

    You will find this in appendix vii of the Moon Watch Only book.

    Why not a formation of Speedmasters? Or fleet or flight?
