Well, let me tell you, I seen a thing or two in my day. And this here OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing, that’s somethin’ else. It’s a wristwatch, you know, but fancy. Not like the ones you see at the market, no sir. This one’s got that, uh, “racing style.” That’s what they call it.
My grandson, he’s always on that computer thing, he showed me. Says it’s a big deal, this watch. Says folks like to collect ’em. Like them old plates Ma used to have, but way more pricey. He showed me this one, the Speedmaster Super Racing. Black, it is. Black as a moonless night. And shiny. Got all them little numbers and lines on it. I don’t know what they all mean, but it sure looks complicated.
He says it’s got somethin’ to do with cars. Fast cars. I reckon that’s why they call it “racing.” Makes sense, I guess. Though I don’t see why you need a fancy watch to tell you you’re goin’ fast. If you’re in a hurry, you’re in a hurry, watch or no watch.
Heard him talkin’ ’bout “limited runs.” Like them special edition somethings. Means they only made a few. Like when Bessie’s cow had them two-headed calves. Rare, you know? Makes ’em worth more, he says. Guess that’s why these OMEGA Speedmaster things are so darn expensive. More than a month’s worth of groceries, that’s for sure.
He was goin’ on about how this one’s special ’cause of some other watch. An “Aqua Terra” somethin’. Don’t rightly recall. Said it kicked off somethin’ for OMEGA. Like when Jebediah’s rooster started crowin’ at all hours and got all the other roosters goin’. A whole mess, that was. This watch thing sounds like a whole mess too, but a fancy, expensive mess.
Now, I ain’t one for fancy things. Give me a good pair of boots and a warm quilt, and I’m happy. But I gotta admit, this Speedmaster Super Racing, it’s somethin’ to look at. All them little details. Like a tiny little engine on your wrist. I can see why folks get all worked up about it.
My grandson, he’s tryin’ to find the best deal on one. Says you gotta compare prices and all that. Like when you’re buyin’ feed down at the general store. Gotta make sure you ain’t gettin’ ripped off. He’s lookin’ all over that internet thing. Says there’s deals to be had. Free shippin’ and returns, he says. Sounds like a good deal to me, though I still think it’s a lot of money for a watch.
- He’s always sayin’, “You gotta search for it, Grandma!”
- Says you can find anything on that there internet.
- Even these fancy OMEGA Speedmaster watches.
- He’s lookin’ for deals, he says.
- Best price.
- Like we used to haggle for eggs down at the farmer’s market.
I told him, “Boy, you be careful with your money.” He just laughs. Says it’s an investment. Like plantin’ seeds, I reckon. You put somethin’ in, you hope to get somethin’ out. Hope he gets a good harvest, I suppose. These new generation are always saying that is a good investment.
This whole watch thing is a mystery to me. But I guess it’s like anythin’ else. If it makes you happy, and you can afford it, then why not? Just don’t go spendin’ your whole life savin’s on a wristwatch, you hear? There’s more to life than fancy gadgets.
But this OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing, I gotta say it again. It’s a looker. Black and shiny. Got that “racing” look. If you like that sort of thing, you might like this. That’s all I’m sayin’. Just remember what I said about bein’ careful with your money. These Speedmaster watches can be like the best hen in the coop – everyone wants one and they can cost a pretty penny.
If you’re gonna get one, make sure you know what you’re doin’. Like choosin’ a good melon at the market. You gotta know what to look for. Otherwise, you might end up with a dud. And nobody wants a dud, especially when it costs more than a new tractor.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing thing. It’s fancy, it’s expensive, and it’s got somethin’ to do with racin’. If you’re into that, then maybe it’s for you. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you can’t afford your beans ’cause you spent all your money on a wristwatch.
