It's one of my favorite combos for sure.

My same collection ; but all Rolex . The Daytona is of course no longer amongst as I was stolen from my house 6 weeks ago . I should have my new 116520 in about a week or two .

We share a love of diving and several other things, and we are members of the same organizations. We actually spent a few days together.

I can go modern or vintage on this thread. This is where I like to play. How about vintage?

'65 Speedy for space:



'65 5512 for sea:



'64 GMT (now sold) for air:



'58 Explorer for high on land:



A mix of modern, as deep as the DSSD can go:

Thanks. I have to admit you caught my attention with this thread, and with your Breitling. That is an outstanding watch.

You should pick up a '66 Speedy 105-012 to complement your '67 145-012. This is the actual Moon Watch, or so I was told by another dive buddy.

Thanks! I stumbled upon it a couple years ago not really knowing it's significance and have only worn it a handful of times for fear of damaging it. These old Breitlings definitely seem more delicate than Rolexes or Omegas of the same vintage. They are certainly not water resistant!

Yes I debated between the 105.012 and the 145.012 and settled on mine. There is differing opinions but maybe you know something I don't... You seem to have some pretty cool dive buddies haha! I'd love to have a 105.003 like yours too.

How did the Daytona work out on your dive? A He Valve wasn't necessary?

Yes, I know something and someone. I kept reading how nobody knows for sure which watch was the first watch worn on the Moon except the guy who wore it so I asked him. He told me it was the same Speedy that flew on Gemini in 1966.

The submersible is pressurized to one atmosphere. The Daytona was fine. I needed a chronograph but it gets really damp inside the sub so a Speedy was out of the question.

I had a WW-II era Breitling chrono. It was really finicky and not water resistant.

But sorry the Breitling is not my cup of tea, the dial looks a bit too clutered IMHO.

Great post though.

X2, that speedy is sweet.

There is a NASA list of issued Speedmasters and If I remember correctly Buzz's and Michael Collins' were listed as 145.012 and Neil's as 105.012 and they say that Neil left his in the lander. I don't know if the list is legitimate or not.

Thanks for this very interesting info! Please PM me if you can share anything else!
