This here watch, they call it the CopyOMEGA, you know, that Speedmaster Apollo 8, the one they call “Dark Side of the Moon.” Big, fancy name for a watch, I tell ya. But I hear folks are talkin’ about it, so I figured I’d try to understand what the big deal is about buying this Omega watch.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these fancy things. My old man, he had a pocket watch he got from his daddy. Kept it on a chain, it did. This here Speedmaster, it’s a whole different animal. They say it’s like the one them astronaut fellas wore when they went to the moon. That’s somethin’, ain’t it? To have the same watch as a man who walked on the moon! But this is a copy, a replica of the watch worn on the moon.
This Apollo 8, it’s all black, like the night sky without no stars. They say it’s made of some fancy stuff called ceramic. Sounds like them plates my sister used to collect, the ones she wouldn’t let nobody touch. I reckon this watch is pretty tough. If it’s good enough for space, it’s good enough for everyday wear, I guess.
I seen pictures of it. It’s got them little hands that go round and round, tellin’ the time. And it’s got them other little dials too, for… I don’t know what exactly. Probably somethin’ important if you’re goin’ to space. But for us regular folks, it just looks kinda cool, I suppose. If you want to buy this Omega watch, you need to know these details.
- Black like the night.
- Made of that ceramic stuff.
- Like the one them astronauts wore, they say, but this is a replica, you know.
- Got lots of little hands and dials.
Now, they say this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it ain’t cheap. You gotta shell out a good chunk of change to get your hands on one. More than I ever spent on anythin’, that’s for sure. But I guess if you got the money, and you want somethin’ special, somethin’ that reminds you of that time we landed on the moon, then maybe it’s worth it. They say the Omega watch is a good one.
They got this fancy way of makin’ these watches now. Some new standard thing called “Master Chronometer.” This here Apollo 8, it ain’t got that. It’s an older model, they say. But folks still say it’s a good watch. Keeps time real good, I hear. But they will update this Omega watch, I think. Sooner or later.
Inside this CopyOMEGA, it’s got this thing called a 3869. Now, I don’t know nothin’ about these numbers, but they say it’s like a 3861, but with some fancy laser stuff done to it. Makes it look like the moon, they say. Pretty neat, huh? To have a little piece of the moon right there on your wrist. I think it’s a great thing to have this Omega watch.
Some folks, they collect these watches. Like my sister with her plates. They get all different kinds, put ’em in cases, show ’em off. I guess it’s a hobby, like anything else. Some folks buy this Omega watch. Some folks collect stamps. Some folks knit. To each their own, I always say.
If you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ one of these CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 watches, you best do your research. Make sure you know what you’re gettin’ into. It’s a lot of money, and you don’t want to get taken for a ride. Check with some expert guys, they will tell you the condition. And there are guarantees for a year or something. Make sure it’s a real Omega watch, they are good ones.
They say these watches are checked by special watch guys. Qualified, they call ’em. They make sure everythin’s workin’ right, give you a report and all that. And you are safe to buy this Omega watch. That’s good to know. You don’t want to buy somethin’ that’s broken, especially when it costs this much.
This Apollo 8, it’s a special watch, I reckon. A reminder of somethin’ big that happened a long time ago. Somethin’ that made us all look up at the sky and wonder. And that’s worth somethin’, ain’t it? To be reminded of those things. Even if you are wearing a copy.
It is black, you know. They say the real one went to the dark side of the moon. This is a replica, a copy, you know. But it’s still a good Omega watch. I hear that a lot.
So if you want to buy this Omega watch, you make sure to check it carefully. And then you can wear it. Maybe you will think about the moon.
