Alright, so I’ve been eyeing this Copy OMEGA Ω Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001, also known as the Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” – Rocket. Man, this thing is a beauty! I first heard about it from some folks chatting online. They were saying how you can pretty much find any watch you want on the internet these days, and this Omega Speedmaster was one of them.
So, I started digging around. I knew it was a tribute piece, something about Omega making this bold ceramic chronograph with a skeleton dial. Fancy stuff, right? I wanted to see what the fuss was all about and if I could get my hands on one.
First thing I did was hit up the usual spots. You know, the big online marketplaces where you can find all sorts of watches. I typed in “Omega 310.92.44.50.01.001” and boom, there it was. Lots of listings, but I wanted to be careful. You never know what you’re gonna get with these online sellers.
I spent a good few hours comparing prices, looking at pictures, reading descriptions. Some of them looked a little rough around the edges, some were way out of my price range. But then I found a couple that seemed legit. The photos were clear, the descriptions were detailed, and the sellers had good ratings.
- One seller even had a video of the watch.
- I noticed that one of the listings mentioned “Omega Speedmaster Apollo” and “Omega Dark Side Moon Apollo 8”, so that gave me a bit more confidence.
- I sent them a few messages, asking about the watch’s condition, whether it came with the box and papers, stuff like that.
- They replied promptly and answered all my questions, which was a good sign.
After a bit of back and forth, I finally pulled the trigger and bought the darn thing. The waiting was the hardest part! Every day I was checking the tracking information, hoping it would arrive soon. And then, one glorious afternoon, it finally did.
I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, in all its glory. The ceramic case felt amazing, the skeleton dial was even cooler in person, and the strap was super comfortable. It was love at first sight. I spent the rest of the day just staring at it, admiring all the little details, playing with the chronograph buttons, you name it.
It has definitely become my favorite watch in my collection.
It’s a real conversation starter, and I love telling people about the history behind it, the Apollo 8 mission, all that good stuff. It’s not just a watch, it’s a piece of history on your wrist.
Anyway, that’s my story. If you’re thinking about getting one of these, I say go for it! Just do your research, find a reputable seller, and be prepared to fall in love. You won’t regret it.
