With the quantity of "fluff" that came with that watch, I presume that was the actual timepiece Neil Armstrong wore whilst landing on the moon. Good condition if so.

Not a wrist shot but thought I'd take a pic because I've brought two watches on a short trip...one that I wear every day and one because the strap matches my 'smart' bowtie shoes.

See if you can guess which is which.

Is it weird that of those 2 I would covert the Wakmann WAY more than the Rolex?

I don't think that's weird at all. I love both and the Wakmann has become my special occasion watch so effectively I agree with you!

Indeed - Be a dull old world if we all liked the same things...

Missus picked this up for me as a wedding gift to wear on the day, just arrived home from the wedding in Italy.

Allegedly a birth year (79) I won't research it too much as I suspect it may be a bitsa but obviously has huge emotional attachment already (she knows NOTHING about watches)smile

This new purchase after a kind pher helping sort out a swap to a black leather strap, looks all the better for it (IMO). Really liking the simple dial with a splash of colour and the jump hour quirk of it.

From this
Sorry to resurrect an old post - I really like the tan leather watch as it is, but can't find any in stock in the UK. Can I ask where you bought yours from?

There are a few US stockists with them available if all else fails.

It may well be a limited run, the Skagen I already own was a really low production run (Hiromichi Konno special edition), around 200 or so if I remember correctly.

I actually got mine from Amazon although they don't seem to show it anymore. They have the got the red hands/black strap version in though if that interests you (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skagen-SKW6236-Ancher-Black-Leather/dp/B015EZXCKU/ref=sr_1_5?s=watch&ie=UTF8&qid=1474317267&sr=1-5&keywords=skagen+ancher)
