Well, well, well, look at this here fancy thing they call the “OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing.” Sounds like somethin’ them city folks would be all riled up about. They say it’s some kinda special watch, only sold in them “Specialty Stores.” Ain’t that somethin’?
I seen a picture of it, all shiny and new. They say it costs a whole heap of money, more than I made in a year sellin’ my preserves! Some folks are sayin’ it’s over $11,000! Can you believe that? For a watch! I reckon you could buy a whole herd of goats for that kinda money. I guess folks will buy anything these days, even an OMEGA Speedmaster that costs more than a new truck.
They got all these fancy words for it too. “Spirate System.” What in tarnation is a Spirate System? Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. My old watch, it just tells the time. That’s all a watch needs to do, ain’t it? This OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing, it probably does all sorts of things I don’t even understand.
And they say it’s “EXCELLENT.” Well, I reckon it better be for that price! My Timex is pretty darn good, and it only cost me a few dollars down at the general store. It’s been tickin’ for years, and I ain’t never had a problem with it. This here Speedmaster Super Racing better be able to do the dishes and make a nice cup of coffee for that price.
They say it comes in a special box with papers. Papers? What kinda papers? I guess if you buy an Omega Speedmaster Super Racing for that much you want some papers for it. My land deed, that’s important papers. Papers for a watch? That’s just silly.

Now, they got a whole bunch of these Speedmaster Super Racing watches, it seems. Different ones, I guess. They say you gotta use some kinda “filter” to find the one you want. Filter? Like a coffee filter? I don’t understand these young people and their fancy gadgets. I prefer an Omega Speedmaster that’s simple to use.
They say you can buy ’em and sell ’em. Like tradin’ chickens at the market, I suppose. Some folks are sellin’ ’em for a little less, but still more than I’d ever pay for a watch. I saw one for almost $3,000! Three thousand dollars! You could buy a whole lot of seeds and fertilizer for that kinda money. Maybe even a new plow! Or just a less expensive Speedmaster Super Racing I guess.
This OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing, it’s got somethin’ called a “3D dial.” What’s a 3D dial? Is it gonna jump out at ya? My old watch, the numbers just sit there, nice and flat. Easy to read. I don’t need no fancy 3D dial to tell me the time. But I guess some people like fancy.
They say it’s “legible.” Well, I should hope so! If you’re payin’ that much for a watch, you better be able to read the darn thing. My eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I can still read my old watch just fine. Even without my glasses! A good Omega Speedmaster should be easy to read for anyone.
And this OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing is “powerful.” Powerful? What’s it gonna do, lift a tractor? A watch just needs to tell the time. It don’t need to be powerful. My old rooster, now he’s powerful. He wakes up the whole farm every mornin’. Now that is a useful kind of powerful.
They say it’s got somethin’ called a “Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9920” inside. Sounds like somethin’ from one of them science fiction shows. My old watch, it just got gears and springs inside. Simple. Works just fine. This fancy Speedmaster Super Racing has too many fancy words for me.
I reckon some folks like these fancy OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing watches. But me, I’ll stick with my old Timex. It tells the time, and that’s all I need. I don’t need no fancy box, no papers, no “Spirate System,” whatever that is. Just a good, reliable watch. And maybe a few extra dollars in my pocket.
These city folks and their Specialty Stores, they can keep their fancy watches. I’ll stick to the simple things in life. Like a good cup of coffee, a warm fire, and the sound of the crickets chirpin’ on a summer night. And my trusty old watch, tickin’ away, tellin’ me the time, just like it always has.
