You know what? This here watch, this OMEGA Speedmaster Date, it’s a real fancy thing. I heard folks talking ’bout it down at the market. They say it’s worth more than my old cow, Bessie! Can you believe that? A watch!
Now, I ain’t one for fancy things. My old ticker does just fine. But this OMEGA Speedmaster Date, they say it’s somethin’ special. It tell the date and all that stuff. It’s shiny, I seen pictures. Shiny like a new penny.
Folks say if you want a new one, you gotta pay a lot of money. Like, a whole lot. One fella said ’bout $6,000! Six thousand dollars! I nearly choked on my coffee when I heard that. You could buy a whole herd of goats for that much money!
But then, this other fella, he was sayin’ if you’re smart, you can get it for less. Maybe $5,300, or even $4,500 if you know how to talk to them sellers. They call it “negotiation”. I guess that means you gotta haggle like we do at the farmer’s market.
Some folks say the OMEGA Speedmaster Date cost like $5,100 in the stores, some big stores in the city. That is still a lot of money. But they also say it’s a special watch. Not for everyone, they say. “Niche” they call it. Sounds like a fancy word for “expensive”, if you ask me.
I saw on that internet thing that these OMEGA Speedmaster watches, they usually go for ’round $4,000. Four thousand! That’s a lot of eggs, I tell ya. But some are cheaper, some are more. I saw some for $500, and some for a crazy $34 or even $35! What kind of watch cost 35 bucks?
And there is this place called, uh, “eBay”. You can find these watches there, they say. All sorts of them. Some called “Luxury Watches”, some called “OMEGA Speedmaster Wristwatches”, and some just “OMEGA Speedmaster”. They say you can get good deals there. But I don’t know, seems like a lot of trouble to me.
- OMEGA Speedmaster Date – shiny and new, costs a fortune
- New one can be $6,000, or maybe $5,300, or even $4,500 if you’re good at talking
- Stores sell ’em for $5,100, that’s a lot!
- Most OMEGA Speedmaster are ’round $4,000, but some are cheaper or way more expensive
- eBay has lots of these watches, maybe you find a deal there. Maybe you can find the watch for 35 bucks there.
- This one place called “Watchfinder” has them too, they say. “Pre-owned” they call it. Sounds like used to me.
This “Watchfinder” place, they got all kinds of these OMEGA Speedmaster watches. They even have one called “Moonwatch” that sounds like from other planet. And “Dark Side of the Moon”! That sounds spooky. I wouldn’t want a watch called that. What if it glows in the dark and scares the chickens?
There is also this place, “concierge service”. They say they can find the watch for you. They say they have lots of friends in stores, those “trusted watch boutiques”. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like them places where they sell them shiny necklaces and rings. I bet you pay extra for that kind of service.
I don’t know. Maybe I’ll just stick with my old watch. It tells the time just fine. Don’t need no fancy OMEGA Speedmaster Date to tell me when to milk the cow. But it’s something to think about, ain’t it? A watch that costs more than a cow! This world is a crazy place.
I guess if you got the money, and you want a fancy watch, this OMEGA Speedmaster Date is the one to get. Just make sure you know how to haggle, or you’ll end up paying more than you should. And watch out for them spooky names like “Dark Side of the Moon”! You don’t want no watch that’s gonna scare the animals, or maybe even you!
Over 475 of them watches, they say. That’s a lot of watches. More watches than I got chickens! And my chickens, they lay a lot of eggs. Maybe I should sell some eggs and buy one of them OMEGA Speedmaster Date watches. Nah, who am I kidding? I’d rather have more chickens.
