Good day all. “Hidden crown” dome dial Constellation reference 168.004 today. IMHO, one of the most underrated Connie references and super comfortable on a BOR bracelet.

IWC Cal 88 rose gold from 1950.

Lovely watch. Looks like it shares some DNA with JLC.

Last night I watched part of the National Geographic production "Apollo: Missions to the Moon" which apparently inspired me to go with the 'Aldrin Wrap' today, utilizing a Kizzi replica long velcro NASA strap. That film probably has more Speedmaster action per minute than any film out there, including live footage of a technician helping an astronaut don the long velcro strap over the Apollo spacesuit.



I also saw something I'd never noticed before: a white coloured long velcro strap, as seen here on the wrist of Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham...



...which inspired me to wrap the strap in a slightly different way, which I'll call the "Cunningham" variant. Can you spot the difference between that, and "Aldrin style"?
