Be a traveler, not a tourist.
A traveler doesn't know where he's going,
a tourist doesn't know where he's been.
As much as I would think micro gravity is awesome and be in, I would want to repair a watch with gravity. :) Pretty cool stuff.
Sorry: what watch is that? Is it a personal watch, or a NASA piece? I'm surprised at two 'malfunctions'....
I think I may make bold to say, that there is neither any other Mechanical or Mathematical thing in the world
that is more beautiful or curious in texture than this my watch or Timekeeper....
-John Harrison
The beauty of the Swiss watch lay in its precision, and its precision had sprung from modesty. It did not have to be an orrery or a tower clock
any more than a yodeler has to sing in symphonies, and this friendliness to restriction had left the designers within easy reach of perfection.

It's an Omega X-33 Speedmaster...It was developed and prototyped with NASA astronauts. It's considered one of the 4 watches officially authorized by NASA for missions [though crews can also bring a person watch with them, if they choose]. Correct me if I'm wrong but they are: The Omega Speedmaster, Timex Ironman, Casio G-Shock and the Omega X-33 [I'm not 100% sure if the G-Shock, and Ironmans are model specific or if any model is authorized]Originally Posted by icqcq
