Hello,
Pretty new to the forums -
I am a proud owner of a moonwatch - I was a NASA and project Apollo nut before I became a WIS.

From what I remember reading, inside the command or lunar module, most of the astronauts sported their Rolex (definitely know Buzz Aldrin did). I am not an expert on Rolex but I would assume the models at those times came with an acrylic crystal as well? I believe that was a requirement due to the concern of Astronauts inhaling shards of sapphire glass if it shattered in zero G.

BTW thanks for the info!
