This is off topic, but today I saw an Omega Speedmaster watch, the kind worn by the Apollo astronauts. Way cool. It was $3k at the Tourneau watch shop at Lennox Square in Atlanta, but an internet search revealed prices as low as $1,750 new and about $1k on ebay. I would like to hear opinion from other watch afficionados (including our fearless leader) about this watch. Is an internet purchase too risky? Is this watch really worth it? I figure that, since it is flight qualified by NASA for all manned missions, when NASA decides to put its first divorce lawyer into space, they might give me a call and I will not need to go watch shopping before accepting the flight.
