Can I get a reasonably-priced version of that watch without the Apollo parts? It’s a cool watch regardless.

I assume we are talking homeopathy type concentration of their exotic materials (moon dust, apollo 11 spare parts, statue of liberty, titanic, well Icelandic volcano line might be viably at higher percentages of the real thing)

Odd thing is that usually I don’t go for the exotic watches posted around BoingBoing as something i would wear but other than the space invaders one they are a bit more subdued.

For $18k I expect the game to be playable. :(

  For 18k, I’d expect a high-res display on an open platform that I could code my *own* apps and games for.
  
  … no I wouldn’t. That stuff tends to be a whole lot cheaper.

Spare parts from Apollo 11? That’s some Ship of Theseus stuff right there.
