    The current RR Space Exploration and Aviation auction should be fun to watch.

    Gus Grisson, Alan Bean, and Ron Evans BA 145.022 Speedmasters are currently up for auction as well as a Gennady Padalka flown Speedmaster and a flown Flightmaster.

    The Flightmaster caught my eye, though it looks like it has the wrong box. It’ll be interesting to see how these go…

    That’s an incredibly sad photo, I hope that one ends up on public display somewhere rather than in a vault

    Bearing in mind it wasn't worn by any particular astronaut (not even a Russian cosmonaut), that 'MIR 365 Days' Speedmaster did remarkably well. It made $95,021 ($118,776 including buyer's premium) this time around. The same watch last sold for $25,000 (including 25% buyer's premium) at Christie's Omega 50 Sale in December 2015. Nice investment for somebody.
