Hey there, you young’uns! Today, I wanna tell ya ’bout this here fancy watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. It’s somethin’ else, I tell ya. You can only get it from them Specialty Stores. They say it’s like wearin’ the moon on your wrist. Well, I ain’t never been to the moon, but this watch, it sure is pretty.
This here watch, it’s all black and shiny. They call it “Dark Side of the Moon” cause, well, I reckon one side of the moon is always dark. This Apollo 8, that was some big deal back in the day. 1968, I think it was. Them astronauts, they went all the way around the moon, first folks ever to do it. This watch, it’s supposed to be like that, all special and such. Them folks who make these things sure make a big deal. They are very very expensive.
They say this OMEGA Speedmaster is somethin’ called a “chronograph.” I don’t know what that big word means, but it’s got all them little dials and buttons. Looks complicated to me. I can look at what time it is, that’s all that matters. But them young folks, they like all them gadgets. And this one, you can see all the insides, all them little gears and things movin’ around. They call that a “skeletonised dial.” Sounds kinda spooky if ya ask me, but it does look kinda neat.
OMEGA, that’s the name of the folks who make these watches. They’re from Switzerland, I hear. Must be a fancy place. They say these watches are made real good, with all kinds of fancy stuff in ’em. Ceramics and gold and somethin’ called “platinum.” Even got little tiny jewels inside, rubies they call ’em. Sounds mighty expensive to me. This kind of watch, you can’t buy it just anywhere. It must be a high price.
- This CopyOMEGA watch, it’s got writin’ on the back.
- Says “APOLLO 8” on it.
- And somethin’ about a “Calibre 3869.”
- That’s the insides, I guess.
- They call it a “movement.”
I seen a picture of this watch. It’s 44.25 mm, whatever that means. Big, I reckon. The strap is leather. They say it’s black ceramic, all the way. You can see the moon, not the real one, on the watch. I heard from someone that it is just like the moon, and it got two sides. One side looks like when we look up in the sky, the other one, the dark side, is what the astronauts saw. The folks in OMEGA make it look just like it. They put all the details on the watch, and that is why it is so expensive.
Now, I don’t know much about these fancy watches, but I hear folks talkin’. They say this OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is a big deal. Especially for them folks who like these kinds of things. They collect ’em, I guess. Like how I collect them little porcelain dolls. Except these watches cost a whole lot more than my dolls, I bet. This one will be in their collection forever. Some folks buy it and never use it.
They say this watch is “updated.” Whatever that means. Maybe they made it even fancier than before. They put a new number on it too, 310.92.44.50.01.001. Don’t ask me what that means. This OMEGA Dark Side Moon Apollo 8, I think this is what they call it. It must be really something.
This here watch, it’s got a special design. They sure put a lot of work into it, I reckon. From what I hear, it’s got a real good “movement” inside. That’s the part that makes it tick. This is the best one they have. And it’s made especially for this watch. They take a lot of time making this watch. Only the best folks can make it, they say.
Well, I reckon that’s all I know about this here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch. It’s a fancy thing, that’s for sure. If you got the money, and you like these kinds of things, maybe you should go get yourself one. Just don’t come askin’ me to tell ya what time it is. I’ll just look at my old watch. It tells time just fine. And I don’t need to go to the moon to know what time it is neither!
You go to them Specialty Stores if you wanna get one. Only place you can get it, I hear. And tell ’em old Granny sent ya! They might not know what you’re talkin’ about, but it’ll be fun to see their faces! These fancy things, I don’t understand all of that. This is too much for me, maybe.
