This here watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, I seen it in that fancy shop window, that official flagship store, they call it. Shined so bright, caught my old eye, it did. Big and black, like a piece of the night sky, all strapped down and ready to go.
Now, I ain’t no fancy city folk, don’t know much about them spaceships and moon landings. But this here Omega Speedmaster, they say it’s somethin’ special. Got somethin’ to do with them astronauts, that Apollo 8, flyin’ ’round the moon. See that dark part of the moon. That’s what they called this watch.
They got all sorts of numbers and little hands on it. Don’t rightly know what they all mean. One of them little hands goes ’round real fast, like a chicken with its head cut off. The other ones, they just creep along slow. Reckon they’re for tellin’ time, but my old eyes ain’t what they used to be. Hard to see them little markings.
That Omega Dark Side Moon Apollo 8, they say it’s made of some tough stuff. Ceramic, or somethin’ like that. Sounds fancy. Probably wouldn’t break if you dropped it in the well. My old watch, the one I got from my late husband, bless his soul, that one’s all scratched up. But it still tells time, more or less. I wear it every day.
- This Apollo 8, it’s blacker than a coal mine at midnight.
- Got a big old strap on it, looks like leather.
- Lots of shiny buttons on the side.
- They say it’s water-resistant.
I asked the young fella in the store how much it cost. Nearly fell over when he told me! More money than I’ve seen in my whole life. Could buy a whole herd of cows for that kind of money. Or a new roof for the house. Or maybe even a new tractor for my grandson. He’s always complainin’ about the old one.
This Omega Speedmaster Apollo, it’s a pretty thing, no doubt about it. But it ain’t for the likes of me. I’d be too scared to wear it. Afraid I’d scratch it or lose it. Or maybe someone would try to steal it right off my wrist. These days, you can never be too careful, you know?
I reckon those fancy city folks, the ones with all the money, they’ll be lining up to buy this watch. They like that sort of thing. Showin’ off how much money they got. Me, I’m happy with my old watch. It may be old and beat up, but it’s got memories attached to it. Can’t put a price on that.
This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” in that official store, it is for the big shots. Big price tag on that one. Lots of folks talkin’ about it. Sayin’ it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe it is, for them that can afford it. For them astronaut lovers.
They say this watch, the one in that official flagship store, been all the way to the moon. Well, not this exact one, but one just like it. Hard to believe, ain’t it? Somethin’ so small goin’ so far. Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it. That design is somethin’ else.
If you into that space stuff, that Omega Dark Side Moon Apollo 8, it’s like a dream. That’s what they say. A dream on your wrist. A piece of history, they call it. Features, they say, are top-notch. Best in the world. Like nothin’ else.
Me, I’ll just stick to lookin’ at the real moon. It’s free, and it don’t need no batteries. And it ain’t gonna get stolen. But I can see why folks like this watch. It’s a beauty. A real beauty. Just wish they would make it for normal folks’ price. You know what I mean?
Anyways, that’s my two cents on that fancy CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch in the official flagship store. That is some good looking watch for people who like that kind of stuff. And if you like it, you go and get it. It is your money. You do what you want with it. Me, I will keep my old watch that I love so much. It’s good enough for me.
