Mine, by contrast, is quite new. But still a watch I'm proud of.

Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface at 2:59 UTC (there are various versions of the correct time, but for this post I'm going with that posted on the GMT website) on July 21st, and his initial "walk" lasted ~134 minutes. So I thought it might be fun to time that walk on my Speedmaster. Which, in the Midwest, would begin at a convenient 20:59. Of course, the Speedmaster does not hack, so this exercise will be less accurate even than the ~ at play on any chronograph (no matter how inherently accurate) due to a human being's specific reaction time. But this isn't that critical 14 seconds we see so wonderfully delineated on the Silver Snoopy!
And to take this a step farther, I've wished I had an X33 so that I could have times the entire mission from lift off to splash down! Surely someone somewhere must be doing that very thing
