Theoretical Auction Result: Buzz vs Swigert Speedmasters
Assuming it was legal to own these watches (I understand it is not) and assuming they were both authenticated, which would fetch a higher price in an auction: Buzz Aldrin's Speedmaster (the first watch ever on the moon) or Jack Swigert's Speedmaster on Apollo 13 (which he timed the 14 second burn to successfully reposition the lunar module towards a safe landing back on Earth)?
Let's also assume they were sold at the same auction on the same day by the same auctioneer (let's say Aurel Bacs). Finally, how would these results compare to Paul Newman's Paul Newman? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I would think a watch that had actually been on the moon would become the highest priced watch ever.

This is a dumb theoretical argument.

Depends if you believe if we really landed on the moon.
-Let the flame wars begin Not to get off topic, but what about Scott Carpenter's Navitimer. |
