Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… CopyOMEGA thingamajig, the Speedmaster Sky… Sky-walker, yeah, that’s it. The X-33. Original order, they say. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But lemme tell ya, you gotta be careful with these things. Lots of fakes out there, just like them fake eggs they tried sellin’ down at the market last year. Same kinda deal.
How to Spot a Fake Watch, You Know, the Bad Ones
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I heard things. You know, from my nephew who works at the… the place where they fix watches. He says them fake ones, they ain’t right. The little dials, the… sub-dials, yeah, them little circles inside the big circle, they ain’t spaced right. Or they’re in the wrong place. Like a crooked picture on the wall, you know? Drives ya nuts.
- Them numbers around the edge, the… tach-ee-meter, somethin’ like that, they ain’t sharp. And they don’t line up with the… the clock face markings. A real one, it’s all neat and tidy, like my grandma’s pantry, everything in its place.
- And the feel of it, the… the metal, it ain’t smooth. It feels cheap, like them plastic toys they give out at the fair. A real one, it’s got weight, it feels… solid, like a good cast iron pan. You know the good ones I’m talking about.
The Real McCoy, The Moon Watch and Stuff
They say this Speedmaster watch, some of ‘em went to the moon. Can you believe it? The moon! My old man used to say the moon was made of cheese, but I guess he was wrong about that. Anyway, these moon watches, they got numbers. Like… 105.012 and then 145.012. Important numbers, my nephew says. You gotta look inside the back of the watch to find ‘em.
And there’s another long number, eight digits, they say it’s in the… the… guts of the watch, the movement they call it. Sounds messy, like cleanin’ out a chicken coop. But you gotta find those numbers if you wanna make sure it’s a real one, not some cheap copy from… well, from wherever they make them fake things.
Buying a Watch, Don’t Get Swindled
Now, if you’re gonna buy one of these Speedmaster Sky-walker watches, don’t just go buyin’ it from some fella on the street corner. You might get ripped off. There’s places that sell real watches, like… like that fancy store downtown with the shiny windows. Exquisite Timepieces, they call it. Or JOMASHOP, heard of them too. They probably got real ones, but you still gotta be careful, you know?
And this… Omega place. They got stores, boutiques they call ‘em. One in San Antonio, Texas, fancy address and all. La Cantera Parkway, somethin’ somethin’. They should have the real deal, but you better have deep pockets, ’cause these things ain’t cheap. My neighbor, Mrs. Higgins, she always said, “You get what you pay for.” And that old woman was right about most things, bless her soul.
Second Hand Ain’t Second Rate, But Be Careful
You can buy used watches too. Pre-owned, they call it. Makes it sound fancier, don’t it? Like a used car, but smaller. You can find them Speedmaster Sky-walker X-33 watches, even the limited edition ones. Like that 318.90.45.79.01.001 model. Sounds like a phone number, doesn’t it? But you gotta be extra careful with used ones. Make sure it’s in good shape, and make sure it’s real. Don’t want to end up with a lemon, you know? Nobody wants a lemon.
Original Speedmaster, That’s What You Want
At the end of the day, you want an Original Speedmaster. That’s what they say, right? Authentic Omega. It’s like wanting a real diamond, not some fake glass thing. You want the real deal, the one that’s gonna last, the one that’s worth somethin’. So do your homework, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to walk away if somethin’ don’t feel right. Just like pickin’ out a good watermelon, you gotta thump it, look it over, and make sure it ain’t rotten inside.
And remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Just like that time that fella tried to sell me a bridge… But that’s a story for another day.
