In case you couldnt watch the X Games live in Los Angeles last weekend, here are the 10 must-see tricks and tumbles you missed:10. Canadian Pierre-Luc Gagnon follows up his win over Shaun White in Skateboard Vert with a nollie heel flip to take gold in Vert Best Trick--his third straight X Games vert gold medal. Jamie Bestwick takes home the BMX Vert gold medal.8. Jake Brown comes back for his second consecutive Big Air gold soaring 21-feet, eight-inches above the ground on his skateboard. Oris replica watches Tanner Foust wins the first ever SupperRally event.6. Matt Buyten clears the bar to nab gold in the Moto X Step Up.
Even when temperatures reached -50 degrees Celcius, the replica IWC 9270-20 watch Speedmaster kept ticking.When Plaisted's team finally made it to the North Pole, the US Air Force team in charge of monitoring them radio'd down with the words "Gentlemen, from where you stand, everywhere is South." We actually found one of the Speedmasters used in this expedition for sale not too long ago.So, even if the Speedmaster hadn't made it to the moon, it would've been known as a great explorer's watch.
However, it did, and it one of the few watches that has transcended into popular culture because of that.The actual watch worn to the moon was replica IWC 3719-28 watch Speedmaster Professional reference 145.012-67.The 67 on the end of course means it was manufactured in 1967, a full two years prior to the moon landing.This confuses many people and often times those looking for a real "Moon Watch" end up buying a Speedmaster from 1969.The problem with this is that by then, Omega had changed the movements inside the Speedmaster from a .321 Caliber to a .861.So, the Speedmasters made around the time of the Moon Landing were not actually the same ones used by NASA.
