Re: Where are the real Moon Watches--i.e Buzz Aldr

In Response To: Where are the real Moon Watches--i.e Buzz Aldrin's *PIC* ()

: The omegas worn on the moon are scattered around at various museums across the country, including the Smithsonian.

At that time I believe the astronauts did get to keep them. Today astronauts must return them with the rest of their equipment when they return from a mission.

The clock in the LM (Eagle) was broken when it landed on the moon. Armstrong left his watch inside so they would have at least one functioning clock if Aldrin's was broken on the moon.
