Astronaut's watch worn on the moon sells for record $1.6 million

October 23, 2015 - The only privately-owned watch to be worn on the surface of the moon was auctioned for more than $1 million on Thursday night (Oct. 22), setting what is believed to be a record for the most-ever paid for a piece of astronaut memorabilia.

The Bulova timepiece, which Apollo 15 commander David Scott wore during NASA's fourth successful lunar landing mission in 1971, was sold by RR Auction of Boston for an astronomical $1.625 million to a Florida businessman who wished to remain anonymous. The sale, which opened at $50,000 online on Oct. 15, ended Thursday evening during a live auction where the winner and his competing bidders participated by phone.

Pure speculation I hope he has proof as without it is going to be one very expensive Timex.

Were those posts meant to be funny, QxC and FBW?

If not, then how about you bravely take your claims/doubts to an Apollo denial thread, where they will be dealt with and ceremoniously placed in the "Only Believed by the Completely Uninformed" basket. Please check that your chosen 'evidence' has not been fully and utterly debunked in the past.

Now, getting back on topic.. like Toast, if I was rich, that's the sort of historical trinket I'd want. Much rather that than.. oh say, Excalibur..
