Many of you may be wondering, "how come this Bulova is so special when it's the Omega Speedmaster that is the real moon watch?" Well the answer is simple. Those Omegas were issued by NASA and are and always will be property of the U.S. government. And they take that seriously. We've seen lots pulled from public auctions because of this. The Bulova seen here was the astronaut's own watch, not one issued. This means it's the only watch worn on the moon that could actually be sold to a private party. And it did. To the tune of $1.3 million.

UPDATE: RR Auctions has just informed us that after buyer's commission, the final sales price of this Bulova is actually $1,625,000.
