You don't see something like this one very often. What a stunner!!

Courtesy RR Auction

"Edgar Mitchell's flown Rolex GMT-Master chronometer watch (Reference #1675) worn on the Apollo 14 mission, serial no. 2448767, as seen in film footage of Mitchell suiting up prior to flight and in onboard footage taken inside the Command Module. The caseback is engraved, "Worn by Cdr. E. Mitchell on Apollo 14, 1971, To Karlin—My Daughter." It features a 26-jewel Oyster Perpetual Movement, black dial, blue-and-red bezel with 24-hour scale (nicknamed the 'Pepsi' color scheme), date indicator with famous Rolex 'Cyclops' magnifying bubble in the acrylic crystal, and Rolex Steelinox bracelet with fliplock clasp."
