I was going to post most of the points that Chuck made.

All I can add is the following ....

1, Does it look like a reflection of a long Neon light between 10 & 11:30 on the watch ? Did they have this kind of lighting on Apollo 17 ?

2, A few times they mention the time, this doesn't seem to match the time shown on the watch. ( not surprising when you see the next point )

3, as Chuck says, a minute on the watch, seems to elapse in 6 secs on the video. So the picture is running 10 times faster than the sound.

4, Later in the video, you can see that the "hand" stops the chrono & then almost immediately restarts it ( with out use of the reset button ). What's the point of that ? To "correct" a timing - could be. To start a new timing ... doesn't make sense without reseting the chrono minute / hour counter.

I'm afraid this video just raises more questions than it answers.

Surely the is first thing to check was if any Speedmaster lost its bezel during the Apollo 17 mission. If not, I think that would prove that the picture & sound do not belong together.

Nevertheless thanks for posting it Chris.
