I think that Dennis understands this....broke a shoelace so had to change shoes, hence had to change my watch
Woo Hoo! My very first Speedy Tuesday! Not coincidentally the calculator [which still functions perfectly, by the way] in the background was manufactured in 1975 -- the year of the Apollo-Soyuz flight.
Gotta love those old HPs. My dad got one when they first came out. I used it through the first year of engineering and then upgraded. I think that I still have the plastic molded box that it came in somewhere....
No Speedmaster today, but this is what I had over the surface of the moon: Ball Night Train Apollo 15 photo on a wall at the AMNH, NYC
@pipefitter , @adam78 -- you guys are killing me, taunting me with my next "must have" watch! Specifically, I'm after the most modern 36mm case version I can get my hands on. And when I get it, the metal bracelet will come off and I'll be looking at NATO straps and what-not to make it my new adventure watch. But it'll be a while till I'm ready to go on a serious hunt for it. Mrs. Jones has put me on an indefinite "watch-purchase-diet", and I can't blame her for doing so.
