Well, let me tell you about this here watch, the CopyOMEGA, they call it. This OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, yeah, that’s the one, “Dark Side of the Moon” they say. It’s a real fancy thing, all black and shiny like a beetle’s back. My grandson, he’s always on about these things, says it’s a big deal, something about some fellas goin’ to the moon, a long time ago now, 1968 was it? I remember my old man listenin’ to somethin’ on the radio about it, couldn’t make heads or tails of it back then.
This CopyOMEGA watch, they say it’s special, somethin’ about Apollo 8. They went round the moon, these astronauts, real brave fellas. Frank somethin’, James somethin’, and William somethin’. First ones to see the other side of the moon, the dark side, they call it. Like the back of my old hen, Bessie, never see the sun back there. They say this CopyOMEGA watch, it’s got somethin’ to do with all that, a celebration, my grandson says. It is a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8.
They say this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster is made from some fancy stuff, black somethin’ or other, all in one piece. Not like my old watch, that’s got all sorts of bits and bobs. This one’s sleek, like a new-born calf, all smooth and shiny. They say it is called “zirconium oxide ceramic”. I don’t know what it is. But it is expensive. And they call this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, the “Dark Side of the Moon” ’cause it’s all black, like the night sky when the clouds cover the moon. Makes sense, I reckon.
This here CopyOMEGA watch, it’s got all these fancy workings inside, they call it the “Calibre somethin’ or other”. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a tractor engine, but I suppose it’s different for a watch. They even wrote somethin’ on the back, “APOLLO 8”, real big, so you can’t miss it. It is a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”.
My grandson, he says this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster watch is worth a lot of money. Says it’ll be worth even more someday. I don’t know about that, but it sure is a pretty thing. He says it’s ’cause it’s an “iconic” watch. Whatever that means. He says it will “stand the test of time” about this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster. I reckon my old boots have stood the test of time pretty good too, but no one’s callin’ them iconic.
This here CopyOMEGA Speedmaster watch, it’s got these yellow bits on it, bright yellow, like a buttercup. Stands out against all that black. And the dial, that’s the face of the watch, it’s all cut out, so you can see the insides movin’ around. Like watchin’ a busy anthill, I suppose. It is a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon”.
- This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it’s big too, 44.25mm, my grandson says.
- Bigger than my thumb, that’s for sure.
- And the strap, it’s 21mm wide.
- They call it the “lug width”, fancy name for a strap, I reckon.
- The reference number is 310.92.44.50.01.001. I don’t know what it means.
They say this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is a “tribute” to space exploration. That’s what they did, explored space. Like when I used to explore the woods behind my house when I was a little girl. Except they went to the moon, and I just found a badger’s den. It is CopyOMEGA “Dark Side of the Moon”.
They made this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster for the 50th somethin’ or other of that moon trip. 50 years! That’s a long time. Longer than I’ve had my old cow, Daisy. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is a special one, they say.
Well, that’s all I know about this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8 watch. It’s a fancy thing, that’s for sure. Reminds me of that time old Mr. Johnson got that new tractor, all shiny and new. Everyone was talkin’ about it. Suppose this CopyOMEGA watch is kinda like that, but for your wrist. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is a real head-turner, just like that tractor was.
This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, they say it is a trusty companion for space exploration. I don’t know whether I need a trusty companion to go to the moon. But it is a good watch, I think. My grandson said it can hold its value in 2024. This CopyOMEGA is good. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” is really good.
It’s all about that Apollo 8 mission, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster. Brave men, goin’ to the moon. They even saw the earth rise, like the sun risin’ over Farmer McGregor’s field. Must have been somethin’. And this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s like a little piece of that, right there on your wrist. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster is amazing.
