As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

What is Dr. Buzz Aldrin wearing
Can anyone tell what watches Buzz Aldrin has been wearing together?
I was scrolling through his twitter and found that he replied “This is why I always wear at least two watches” to a Goddard Space Flight Center tweet that said, “To go the distance, NASA keeps good track of time. If we know the time, we know the distance. Our timekeeping tech will help us navigate and explore the Moon.”
In that tweet he was wearing these:

Yeah, he's one of us . I hope my wife doesn't ask what I did at work today. Scrolling though his twitter feed you can see that he went diving not too long ago and wore at least one of the watches.
Here's a better look at one of the two that seem to be connected on the bracelet.

Good work!! While that is a wild look, I can't say that I didn't think about rigging up a similar setup for myself last night. If I had about 2 more drinks in me, I would be showing off some sort of two watch one band cobbled together monstrosity today lol.Split-Time wrote:OK. Google is my friend .

Re: What is Dr. Buzz Aldrin wearing
A monstrosity, indeed. But, let those among us who have been to the moon cast the first stone.
Re: What is Dr. Buzz Aldrin wearing
So I'm not sure whether this means I can wear two watches because Buzz made it OK or whether you have to have walked on the f'ing mood to pull it off.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: What is Dr. Buzz Aldrin wearing
I'm not sure that he's really making it OK . I saw him at an event last week. Didn't get a good look at his wrists but I can't say that I was trying. However, I also didn't realize that he had two Omega cobbled together. He marches to his own beat...that's for sure. Look up his girlfriend if you have a couple of minutes.

Sporting the the Omega Triple Lindy-confirmed by Hodinkee!
Re: What is Dr. Buzz Aldrin wearing
Omega might make an LE based on that...the first dual watch worn on the moon?
