4th possibility for David Scotts Moonwalking Waltham...
One of the things that has been of interest to watch collects, particularly those who also share an interest in Space exploration is the question of which Waltham Chronograph Astronaut David Scott wore on the Moon during EVA-3 of the Apollo 15 mission. In the past, I've purchased a pair of Waltham chronographs, which seem to fit the general description of a watch which "I used my backup Waltham watch (which was) of a similar type [to the Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph]": Olaf Oldigs from Germany contacted me with news that he had purchased another Waltham chronograph which he felt might be another Candidate but asked me to refrain from posting pictures until he had the time to have the watch serviced and detailed. Over the weekend he send me the following photographs [click through for enlargements]: Personally, I think this is the most handsome candidate I've seen so far. Looks a little more rugged than my "Carrera"Styled example [second from the top] above, but not as bulky as the top most example of mine. Thanks to Olaf for his interest and permission to post his pictures. Anyone else have an interesting candidate to nominate? I'd love to see them! -- Chuck |

Dear Mr. Maddox,
I’m one of the managers of Mount Olympus Awards LLC and we just added luxury watch cases to our product line because years ago, I began collecting Montblanc timepieces. We are reaching out to other watch affectionados because we know they understand the passion of collecting. We would like to know if you would do us the honor of adding a link to our luxury watch cases page (http://www.mountolympusawards.com/categories/luxury_gifts/luxury_watch_cases.htm) on your blog?
As a special “thank you” to you and your readers, we have created a special discount code that will take 10% off in savings on our line of yacht and exotic burl wood cases. Simply enter coupon code “watchblog” (without the quotations) during the checkout process and the price will be immediately lowered.
Also, if you have any suggestions as to potential watch case brands you think are useful and would be a nice addition to our product line, please let us know. Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Joshua
