Showing my age here, but when i was but a mere slip of a lad my parents bought me my first watch - Im sure it was a Timex - that commemorated the first moon landing; so we're talking 1969/70ish

It had a watch face with a picture of the moon's cratered surface and instead of a second hand, it had a rotaing clear disk with a graphic of either the moon lander or an astronaut on it.

I would love to try and track one down, any ideas?
