Fathers Day Gift

No not an incoming, but this great book:



I have read, but a quick flip through makes me want a birth year 1963 Space Dweller. I didn’t even know Rolex made such a watch.

Interesting - got me thinking. I think Rolex submitted the Daytona to NASA to compete against the Omega Speedmaster for the Apollo program.

Had Daytona won, do you think Rolex would have named it instead the Space-Master?
