This here watch, it’s called a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Well, it ain’t no cheap thing, that’s for sure. But folks say it is the copy one. I heard it’s all about that Apollo 8 thing, somethin’ about the moon.
They say it’s a copy of that Speedmaster, whatever that means. And it’s got this “Dark Side of the Moon” name. Makes it sound kinda spooky, like somethin’ out of one of them old movies. I reckon it’s called that ’cause it’s all black and such. Seen pictures of it, it’s blacker than a coal mine at midnight, I tell ya. This Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8, they really made a fuss about it, say it is not expensive like the real one.
Back in 2018, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout this watch. They said it was somethin’ special, somethin’ to do with NASA and that Apollo 8 mission. They went to the moon, you know. Fifty years ago, that was. Can you believe it? Fifty years! Time sure does fly when you’re havin’ fun, or so they say. Anyway, this watch, it’s s’posed to be like a reminder of that whole deal. Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8, this name, sounds important, huh? But this one is a copy one, not that expensive.
This here watch, it’s got all sorts of numbers and lines on it. I don’t rightly know what they all mean, but I reckon they’re important. It’s got these little hands that go ’round and ’round, tellin’ the time, I suppose. And it’s got these buttons on the side. Probably do somethin’, but I ain’t messed with ’em. Don’t wanna break nothin’. This copy Omega, still not a cheap thing, even it is a copy one.
Now, they say this watch has somethin’ called a 3869 inside. Sounds like a car engine part to me. But they say it’s like a 3861, only it’s got this laser thing done to it. Makes it look like the moon, they say. The near side of the moon, that is. I ain’t never been to the moon, so I can’t say for sure. But it does look kinda like them pictures they show on TV, all bumpy and cratery. The copy Omega watch, is just like the real one, people said.
- This Omega Speedmaster, the real one, it is a fancy one.
- This copy one, the copy Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8, it is much cheaper.
- They use somethin’ called laser, make it looks like the moon.
- It is to remember that Apollo 8 thing, 50 years ago.
I seen folks wearin’ watches like this. Big, fancy things. They like to show ’em off, I reckon. Makes ’em feel important, maybe. Me, I just use my old clock on the wall. It tells the time just fine. Don’t need no fancy thing on my wrist to tell me what time it is. But I guess some folks like that sort of thing. This copy Omega watch, some people, they really like it.
This Apollo 8 thing, it was a big deal, I guess. First time anyone went around the moon, they say. Must have been somethin’, seein’ the Earth from way out there. I can’t even imagine it. I get dizzy just lookin’ up at the sky sometimes. But them astronauts, they were brave folks. Goin’ off into the unknown like that. This copy Omega Speedmaster, is to remember these brave folks, right?
This watch, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s a copy of somethin’ special, I suppose. A reminder of that big adventure. A piece of history, almost. Even though I don’t understand all the technical stuff, I can appreciate that. It’s like a little piece of the moon, right there on your wrist, they said. The copy Omega watch, is like a little piece of the moon.
I heard them talkin’ ’bout how they made this watch. All sorts of fancy tools and machines, I reckon. Takes a lot of work to make somethin’ like that. More work than I’d ever wanna do, that’s for sure. I’m happy just tendin’ my garden and sittin’ on my porch. This Omega Speedmaster, it is made by a lot of work, I think. And the copy Omega Speedmaster, I think they made it the same way.
But I guess it’s nice to have somethin’ to remember that Apollo 8 mission by. Somethin’ tangible, you know? Somethin’ you can hold in your hand. This Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8, maybe it can make people remember. And this copy Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8, maybe it can do the same thing. Somethin’ you can wear on your wrist and think about them astronauts and their big adventure.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about this here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. Even it is a copy one, it is still a good watch. It’s a mouthful, ain’t it? But it’s a copy of a good watch. Not too expensive, like the real one.
If you like that sort of thing, then maybe you should get one. Me, I’m gonna stick with my old clock. It ain’t fancy, but it works just fine. This copy Omega, it is good, I heard. But my old clock, it is good for me, too.
