Alright, let’s talk about this here watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But what’s it all about? Well, I’ll tell ya what I know, in my own way, mind you.
First off, they say it’s somethin’ special, a “commemorative” watch. That means it’s supposed to remind you of somethin’ important. This one’s for that Apollo 8 space thingy, the one that went around the moon fifty years ago. Imagine that! Fifty years! That’s a long time, even for an old gal like me.
Now, this ain’t no ordinary watch, no sirree. They call it the “Dark Side of the Moon”, which sounds kinda spooky, like somethin’ hidden. But it just means it’s black, like the dark part of the moon you can’t see from here. They made it outta some fancy stuff called “ceramic”. Sounds breakable, but they say it’s tough. Hope so, for the price they’re probably askin’!
- It’s big, like 44.25 mm they say. That’s… well, it’s bigger than my thumb, that’s for sure.
- It’s black, like I said. Real black, not kinda grey, but deep, dark black.
- It’s got a strap, made of leather. Now, leather I understand. Good, sturdy stuff, like my old boots.
They started makin’ these “Dark Side” watches a while back, in 2013, I heard. Folks went crazy for ‘em. And this Apollo 8 one, well, it’s even more special, seein’ as it’s for that anniversary thing. Folks like things that remind ‘em of somethin’ important, I guess. Like my grandma’s old locket, it ain’t worth much, but it means the world to me.
Now, where can you get one of these watches? That’s the tricky part. They ain’t sellin’ ’em at the corner store, that’s for sure. You gotta go to a fancy watch shop, or maybe online, if you’re brave enough to buy somethin’ like that without seein’ it first. And they ain’t cheap, let me tell ya. I seen some folks sayin’ you can “save 12%”, but 12% of a whole lot of money is still a whole lot of money.
Some of these watches are “unworn”, they say. Means nobody’s used ’em, they’re brand new. Comes in a “full set”, which I reckon means you get the box and all the papers and stuff. Just like when you buy a new TV, I suppose. And they make a big deal about it bein’ the “2024” model, like it’s a car or somethin’. But I guess that means it’s the newest one they got.
They use words like “iconic” and “in-house developed”. Sounds like they’re tryin’ to impress you with big words. But what it really means is that this watch is supposed to be somethin’ special, somethin’ well-made, somethin’ that’ll last. Kinda like my old cast iron skillet – it ain’t fancy, but it gets the job done and it’ll be around long after I’m gone.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a fancy watch, a watch that’ll make folks say “ooh” and “ahh,” then this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” might be for you. Just be prepared to shell out some serious cash. And if you do get one, be sure to take good care of it. It ain’t the kind of thing you wanna leave layin’ around.
But me? I’ll stick with my old watch, the one my husband gave me years ago. It ain’t fancy, but it tells the time just fine. And that’s all I really need, ain’t it? Time keeps movin’ on, whether you got a fancy watch or not.
“Omega Speedmaster Apollo” and “Omega Dark Side Moon Apollo 8” seem to be the words they use to describe it, if you’re lookin’ online. Just a little somethin’ to help you find it, if you’re so inclined.
Remember, this here watch, it’s a “Brand: Omega”, not some cheap knock-off. You get what you pay for, they always say. And with a watch like this, you’re payin’ for more than just the time. You’re payin’ for a piece of history, or so they tell ya.
