Hey there, let me tell you about this watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8, they call it the “Dark Side of the Moon.” Sounds fancy, huh? Well, it kinda is. This thing, it’s somethin’ else. It’s like those fancy watches the astronauts wore, you know, when they went to the moon. My grandson, he’s always talkin’ about space and stuff. Says this watch is like a piece of that, a piece of history. He says the real one is a big deal, but he likes this copy cat version. I like this copy cat, too.
This watch, it’s all black, like the night sky without any stars. They say it’s s’posed to be like the dark side of the moon. I ain’t never been to the moon, but I seen pictures. It’s a dark place up there, you know. This CopyOMEGA, it’s got this black strap, and the whole thing is just dark, dark, dark. That’s why they call it the “Dark Side of the Moon.” Makes sense, right? I guess so. You can still see the numbers and things, but it’s just dark. Kinda like it, though.
Now, my grandson, he told me this watch, it’s a copy. He said that means it ain’t the real thing, but it looks just like it. He said the real ones are super expensive, like buy-a-new-truck expensive. This one, though? This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster? Not so much. He said the 3869 is pretty much a 3861, but with some laser stuff done to it. Sounds complicated. It looks like the moon, though. That’s what he told me.
He showed me the real one online. They both look the same to me. He said this CopyOMEGA, it’s good for folks who like the look but don’t wanna spend all their money. Makes sense to me. Why spend a fortune when you can get somethin’ that looks just as good for less? I told him he should save his money, buy a house instead. He just laughed. Young people. This one, the CopyOMEGA, it still shows the time. That’s what a watch is for, right?
This watch, it’s s’posed to be tough. Like, really tough. They say it can handle all sorts of things, like those astronauts going up into space. It’s got this thing inside, they call it a “movement.” It’s what makes the watch tick, you know? My grandson said it is strong. I guess if it’s good enough for space, it’s good enough for around here. I don’t know what these folks do that they need such a tough watch, but hey, to each their own, I always say. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s supposed to last a long time. That’s good.
- It’s a copy of a famous watch.
- It’s all black, like the dark side of the moon.
- It’s tough, like it could go to space.
- It’s not as expensive as the real one.
- It tells the time, which is what a watch is for.
My grandson, he reads all these things online about watches. He says this Apollo 8, it’s about some mission to the moon, 50 years ago. They call it Apollo 8. This watch, it’s like a reminder of that. He likes that stuff, space and history. I don’t know much about it, but it sounds important. Apollo 8, that’s what he said. The real watch, not this copy, is important, he says. I guess this one, the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it’s like a little piece of that, for folks who can’t afford the real deal.
He says people collect these things, these watches. They like to have them, like I like to have my quilts. I guess it’s the same thing. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s a popular one, he says. People like it. I guess if you like watches, this is a good one to have. Even if it is a copy. My grandson, he says it’s a good copy, though. He says it’s well-made. That’s important, you know. You don’t want somethin’ that’s gonna break right away.
I don’t know about all that, but it looks nice. It’s black, and it’s shiny, and it looks like it cost a lot of money, even though it didn’t. I guess that’s the point. You get the look without spending all your money. That’s what my grandson said. He knows about these things. Me? I just like that it tells the time. That is all I need from a watch. Don’t need no fancy space stuff.
Well, that’s all I know about this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch. It’s a mouthful, ain’t it? I still don’t really get it. Just call it the black watch. If you like watches, and you like space, and you don’t wanna spend all your money, maybe this is the watch for you. My grandson seems to like it. And he knows a thing or two about these things. It looks good on him. Maybe it will look good on you, too. Or maybe you should just save your money like I told him.
