A milestone marked! You are very welcome, my friend! Needless to say, I find it looks so much better on your wrist than mine  I believe there is a small booklet in the watch box that gives a history behind the watch and its design. |

It's such a nice watch. I'll have to get the book out and check it. |

This arrived in the mail today, sent to me by Marcel!  Marcel! You are awesome! This is a wonderful gift, and another lucky watch for me, this time to commemorate my clean chest biopsy. What a great watch! About 44mm diameter, with sapphire crystal and all solid bracelet. The movement is a Bulova 262kHz quartz with a stated accuracy of 10 seconds per year. So cool! More info about the watch and its heritage to come, but for now I just wanted to show it off. This definitely satisfies my urge for a chronograph that has lunar heritage, and it looks quite a bit like a Speedy pro. But it's not an homage to a Speedy, but an homage to a Bulova that was developed to replace the Speedmaster. Hence the similarity. Wow, that's a gift for sure. Congrats, Dan! I have given away a few watches in my time, but never something like this, very generous friend Marcel! Good you pay forward in a much better way then I ever did!    |
