Okay, so, I’ve been eyeballin’ this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001 (you know, the “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8 one – the one with the rocket) at the official flagship store for a while now. It’s a hefty chunk of change, but man, that thing is beautiful.
First, I just kept going back to the store and looking at this watch through the display case. It was like it was calling my name. I must have looked like a real weirdo, just staring at it all the time. Finally, I talked to the dude working there.
Then I did some digging around online. I learned that this watch was inspired by the Apollo 8 mission, which was pretty cool, and it’s got this “Dark Side of the Moon” nickname. There were a bunch of articles and forum posts talking about it, and some folks online were even comparing prices and where to find the best deal. Some folks pointed out the common indicators of a fake, such as subpar quality and incorrect details, so I started to compare each detail. The “Dot Over 90” bezel and applied OMEGA logo are recently resurrected features.
After that, I started comparing it to other Speedmaster models. There’s a whole bunch of ’em! This one, though, it just stood out. It’s got that black ceramic case, and the skeletonized dial where you can see the movement is just… wow. It is made of high-quality materials, precision craftsmanship, and advanced technology, making it costly.
- Went to the official store, like, a lot.
- Talked to the guy working there.
- Scoured the internet for info.
- Compared it to other Speedmasters.
- Got totally hooked on the design.
Next, I had to, you know, actually figure out how to buy it. That’s where things got a little tricky. I mean, this thing is not cheap. I had to do some serious budgeting and figuring out how to make it happen.
Eventually, after a lot of back and forth, I finally pulled the trigger. I went back to the store, plunked down my credit card, and walked out with that beauty on my wrist.
The Feeling?
Pure joy. Seriously, it felt amazing to finally own this watch. It’s more than just a timepiece; it’s like a little piece of history that I’m wearing.
So, yeah, that’s my story of how I ended up with the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001. It was a journey, for sure, but totally worth it in the end. If you’re thinking about getting one, just be prepared to go down a rabbit hole of watch nerdery, but trust me, it’s a fun ride!
