Pretty darn cool to think he was wearing this GMT as he collected rocks and soil on the moon.

This. Although it depends on how you define “worn on the surface of the Moon.” It would stretch the bounds of credulity to think he left it in the Command Module when transitioning to the LM and eventual landing…on the surface of the Moon…so, worn on the surface of the Moon in that regard.

That aside, I can’t think of any reason *not* to have left it on when suiting up for EVAs, either.

It would have been worn under the pressure suit. Likely a Sub bracelet adapted to fit with whatever end links needed to get a fliplock. Sane reason 16710s are often seen (and could in fact be ordered with) Explorer bracelets.
