RIP to an inspirational man.

Not a moonwatch but as close as I can get right now.
R.I.P.
Cheers 'gerbil.
Wow Stewart!
The first one was too subtle for me at first, maybe I was distracted by the strap? Both great shots.

The Apollo 11 landing site taken by Neil Armstrong.
I was glued to the TV as Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Moon on July 21, 1969. It was a fantastic achievement 43 years ago!
No more Speedies in my collection at present, but here's my late 1968 GMT-Master with aviation heritage. Cheers, Neil!
Not a moon watch, but a watch that Chuck Maddox (maybe the internet's leading authority on all things Speedmaster) called "the Grail"...
My 1965 moon at work today, for a great man´s rest.
Hans.
Motorbike trip this weekend, off in the morning. The pic is from June, but the scene will be the same.
Godspeed Neil. Your inspiration will endure for eternity.
Ok, I'll play :-)

What a strange coincidence! You've referenced a paper from a suburb of Chicago I used to live in.Originally Posted by europa
Some debate as to whether a 105.003 got anywhere near the moon, but hey ho, here's my latest baby...

Not a moonwatch I'm afraid, but close ;)

Wouldn't want to be sitting on the fence about buying a Speedy at tthe moment as this thread will likely tip a few over the edge!
i forgot and i'm wearing my new Seiko. The speedie is at home. Oops
Good morning,
I wear this today in remembrance of a friendly and intelligent man. The first on the moon but his watch stayed behind in the spacecraft as a back-up for a malfunctioning piece of equipment. If I'm not mistaken?
Here is my PSM..
Have a good weekend!

Speedy on a nato in tribute.

No Speedy for me, I only really like the 9300, but it's still a Friday.
Hi
Here's a lovely one for today....
HAGWE -
Best - Neil
Off walking in the Brecon Beacons Nation Park today in search of the crash site of a Vickers Wellington Bomber which went down in 1944. There're are some moving pictures and description which can be seen here for anyone interested:

Never forget those black and white images on TV, very impressing. Thanks Neil, rest in peace.
