Not going anywhere.

Occulomency's attempt to take a break from all his worries didn't happen.

Occulomency is  sad about this for 27 reasons, none of which I am prepared to discuss with the likes of you.

Flanders questioned the use of the Omega Speedmaster on the moon.

Well.....

NASA's flight equipment buyer visited Corrigan's watch shop in Houston Texas to purchase five chronographs, all of different brands, including the Omega Speedmaster in 1961 for testing purposes.

Astronauts were permitted to and did wear personally purchased watches on Apollo missions as a backup to their NASA supplied Speedmasters.

It has been documented that Armstrong did not wear his Speedmaster during his EVA. An instrument had malfunctioned during the LEM's Decent and his Speedmaster was left in the LEM to serve as a replacement.

Armstrong quoted in the 1969 Technical Debrief -

"... our mission timer was out, and we decided we had better leave one wristwatch inside in case it (the one taken outside) got damaged. We would have at least one working watch to back up the mission timer or to use in place of the mission timer, in case we could not get it going again."

So Aldrin's Speedmaster was the first watch to be worn during a moon walk.

Jack Swigert, the command module pilot of the ill fated Apollo 13 probably wore two watches, his standard issue Speedmaster and a Rolex GMT (which was USAF standard issue for a while).

Dave Scott, commander of Apollo 15, wore a Speedmaster for the first two EVAs during the mission, but:

"I do not recall ever having looked at my watch after egress. In the cabin after EVA-2, I noticed that the crystal of my Omega had popped off  sometime during the EVA. Therefore, on EVA-3, I used my backup Waltham watch (which was) of a similar type. It worked just fine during the even higher temperatures of EVA-3."

Dave Scott had on board two timepieces (a wristwatch and stop watch) that were not part of the normal mission equipment. During the pre-flight training period, Scott had agreed to evaluate these timepieces for the manufacturer at the request of a friend. Thinking they might be useful, particularly for the possible emergency timing of a manually controlled propulsion maneuver, Scott carried them on the mission but without prior authorisation.  Scott was quite prone to carrying unauthorised items on flights and then selling them on at a profit. Indeed there was quite a fuss made at the time of Apollo 15 when it transpired that Scott had smuggled a load of first day cover stamps on board and then sold them off to a collector.

Aldrin was still a cock though.

Occulomency off to listen to the Bangles and fantasise.
