Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout this here watch, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” thingamajig. Folks call it a “Dark Side of the Moon,” sounds all fancy, don’t it?
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I just see things as they is. This watch, they say it’s like them watches them astronauts wore on the moon way back when. Yeah, the moon! Can ya believe it? Them fellas went all the way up there, and this watch, well, somethin’ like it, was with ’em. They called them old watches “Moon watches,” real original, huh?
See, back in the day, around ’66 or so, they had these watches, the 105.012 and the 145.012. Don’t ask me what them numbers mean, I ain’t got a clue. But them’s the ones they wore on the moon, so they say. This here new watch, the one we’re talkin’ ’bout, the Apollo 8, it’s kinda like them old ones but different, ya know?
- It’s got this fancy writin’ on it, makes it look all space-agey.
- And the back, oh, the back! It’s got this picture of the moon on it, the dark side they call it. Spooky lookin’, but kinda cool too.
They say this watch, this 3869, it’s got somethin’ called a “3861” inside. Sounds like gibberish to me, but they say it makes the watch work real good. And this watch, it’s got this special stuff done to it, makes it look like the moon on the front and the back. They use some fancy laser thingy to do it, I hear. Makes it all bumpy and rough, just like the real moon, I reckon.
Now, why would anyone wanna wear the moon on their wrist? I dunno. City folk got funny ideas. But this watch, it’s supposed to be special, ya see? It’s supposed to remind ya of that time them fellas went to the moon. A big moment, they say. An iconic moment, that’s the word they used.
This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster, it ain’t just tellin’ time, no sirree. It’s tellin’ a story. A story ‘bout the moon, ‘bout them astronauts, ‘bout goin’ where no one’s gone before, or somethin’ like that. It’s got this chrono- somethin’ or other, which I guess means it can do more than just tick-tock.
I seen pictures of it. It’s got all these little dials and hands, more than I can count. Makes my head spin just lookin’ at it. But them fancy folks, they like that kinda stuff. They like things that look complicated, makes ‘em feel smart, I guess.
And the price? Don’t even get me started. Costs more than my old truck, probably more than my house! But I reckon some folks got money to burn. They want somethin’ shiny, somethin’ fancy, somethin’ to show off. And this watch, well, it sure does the trick.
It’s got this skeleton somethin’-somethin’ dial, which means you can see all the little gears and springs inside. Kinda neat, I gotta admit. Like lookin’ into a tiny machine. And they say the movement, that’s the part that makes the hands go ‘round, is all decorated to look like the moon too. Them watchmakers, they sure are clever, gotta give ‘em that.
So, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s a watch, yeah. But it’s more than that. It’s a piece of history, they say. It’s a piece of the moon, kinda. It’s a piece of somethin’ special. And if you got the money and the inclination, well, you can wear a little piece of the moon right there on your wrist. Just don’t go bangin’ it around, alright? That’d be a waste of good money, ya hear?
Now, I gotta go feed the chickens. All this talk about moons and watches is makin’ my head hurt. But I hope I explained it good enough for ya. It’s a fancy watch, a copy, that’s all you need to know. And it’s got the moon on it, back and front. Go figure.
Remember, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” is a fine piece, even if it’s a copy. It looks fancy, it’s got that moon picture on it, and it reminds folks of them astronaut fellas. If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ special, somethin’ that’ll make folks say “ooh” and “ahh,” well, this might just be it. Just make sure you keep an eye on it, alright? Things this fancy tend to disappear quick if you ain’t careful. And for heavens sake don’t go around thinkin’ you can fly to the moon just ’cause you got it on your wrist.
Folks keep talkin’ about the CopyOMEGA and the real OMEGA, sayin’ one’s real and one’s not. Well, I say, if it looks good and it tells the time, what’s the difference? This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s a looker, that’s for sure. And unless you’re one of them fancy watch collectors, you probably wouldn’t even know the difference. So don’t go frettin’ about it. Just enjoy your watch, that’s what I say.
