but if you want to be sure you have the correct speedy that was actually used on the first moonwalk you'll need to research which model Buzz Aldrin was issued with.
i think it was a 105.012, the first with the curved lugs, but as it was stolen whilst en route to the Smithsonian from NASA, it could be difficult to find out.
in my opinion, the modern renditions of the historic speedmasters are rarely worth waiting for.

Buzz was involved with Nasa from the early days and they were issued their watches upon joining Nasa. Ed White and Neil Armstrong had 105.003's so i see no reason to think that Buzz didnt have the same model. it would also fit well with the fact that i have a 105.003-64
wishful thinking perhaps.

i'm with Dr Kol on this one. buy a vintage or wait 6 years.

We can say Buzz had a 321 powered Speedmaster.....
HI G
Any 321 Speedy is a treasure to own....... Any modern Speedy is a pleasure to own....
You cant go wrong eitherway !

Buzz's Speedmaster ....
There are a few photos on the internet of Buzz wearing his Speedy during the Apollo 11 flight ,
but unsure how clear they are to enable precise clarification of the version he was issued with .
