Aloha, This crab and go one today. As far as having those Pogue's I had a few long ago but not now. Never realized it to keep until now to have one. Well did not have a watch interest before. But I really did have the .... Privileged Opportunity to meet the Famous Man at a Astronauts home by being invited by his Son in Denver, Colorado for the Astronauts Son Birthday Celebration and spoke to him for a while too and he was wearing that watch too and a true and very interesting Gentleman too. I met him again in ...... Los Angeles, California a year later during a Air and Exhibit Show. That was a valued opportunity I was given and invited too. Aloha Louis Louis meeting Col. Bill Pogue wearing his 6139-6005 far away tops anything any of us with random watches we bought and/or restored could ever aspire to. Amazing my friend. Aloha Sir, Jon I missed this to mention : When I met the Colonel it was atanother Astronauts Home in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I was invited to my friends Birthday Celebration and he was the Son of ..... Colonel James B.Irwin and he was with the ..... Apollo 15 group . His son wanted to learn to Drag Race and that is when I met him at a race track. He invited me to visit and spend .... 5 days at his home and that is when ..... Colonel Pogue came to attend the party as a special guess there. It was tremendous time just to see a few of these Astronauts actually in front of me and speaking to me and I will never forget that too. Colonel was the .... 8th Man to walk on the moon also and a Great Christian Gentleman also to meet. His home had some much to display and talk about. Colonel had a dream also to start a club for younger people and he called .... The High Flight Club and they trained young people to fly small planes and be in the aeronautic community also. He passed away in 1971 and I attended his Funeral because his Son called me in Los Angeles to come there for it. His mom ...... Mrs. Mary Irwin was also a fine up standing Women to know. Both of them were know to have climbed a few times ..... Mount Ararat in Turkey and had many pictures to prove it too. He also wrote books about it and their experiences of doing that. Colonel James B. Irwin , Apollo 15 Astronaut ....8th Man to walk on the Moon. I still have these in a stash box here: Autographed Book :

A very impressive line-up today gentlemen! Congratulations one and all! Here is my 1970 blue dial 6001, the first made in either October or December(?) I’m awaiting a replacement inner rotating bezel(the one in at the moment is wrong, as can be seen), it needs a service, and those are clearly a ‘service’ hand set(sweep, hour and minute). It sports a KVW Crystal, and keeps good time. I like that a lot!
