@ Tom: my Rolex Prince is from 1938.

Hans,

I have not seen that knife. At one point, Walther knives were made in Taiwan. Not sure if that is still the case. At least the knife you linked has decent steel, which is good to see.

Thanks!

Thanks Guido. The stories it could tell.

Hey Pat,
Nice watch and knife ... I have a knife just like it. Paratrooper's knife by Camillus, yes?
I was told that they really meant to have the "hook" blade auto open and not the straight blade? Don't know if that's true

Nice watches Guys!

Hey David, Your Omega Speedmaster ... what vintage? ... looks just like mine ... about 1970.

Tony

Tom,

don´t own such a Walther knive, but a workmate own´s one and he´s satisfied!!

Tony,

I have three Speedies, a modern version, a 105-003-65 and a 105-012-66 (the model that Buzz Aldrin wore on the Moon). Here are the two vintage Speedies with a now departed Model 15.



You can always tell the 1965 version, which flew on Gemini 4, because it lacked crown guards and the word "Professional" on the dial. (See below.) Omega added these features in 1966 after it saw a photo of White on the cover of "LIFE" magazine wearing a Speedy during his spacewalk.



Buzz wore a 1966 105-012 on the Moon in July 1969. It was the same watch that he wore on Gemini 12. We had a long talk about it one day.



Did somebody say WIS? I resemble that remark!

My favorite watch and my favorite folder. Ceramic Sub LV and a Scott Cook Lochsa. I wear the watch alot, but the knife is a safe queen since they are unobtanium any more.

Ok David!
Thanks. Some good info. I learned something today about "Speedies'!
Tony

Pat,

I like your Lochsa. IIRC, solid titanium handle and locks like Fort Knox. Sort of like taking a Sebenza to the next level.

Sub ain't too bad either.

Hey Dave,

Buzz's t-shirt is fantastic!!

Cheers,
