Well, let me tell you, that CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, that’s one fancy name for a watch! Sounds like somethin’ from one of them space movies, don’t it? They say it’s all about that Apollo 8 thing, 50 years ago, when them astronauts went round the moon. I reckon that’s somethin’ to remember, huh? That old moon, always shinin’ down on us.
This here watch, they say it’s got the moon on it. Not the real moon, mind you, but a picture of it. They call it “Dark Side of the Moon” cause, well, one side of the moon is always dark, ain’t it? Never thought about buyin’ a watch with the moon on it, but there you go. Got to see everything once, I suppose. That’s what they say, anywho, about that Apollo 8. Big deal back then, I reckon.
They talk about this watch like it’s somethin’ special. Says it’s got a “skeletonised dial” and a “movement that depicts the lunar surface.” Now, I don’t know what them fancy words mean, but it sounds complicated. Probably costs a whole heap of money, this CopyOMEGA thing. More than I ever spent on anything, that’s for sure. But if you got the money, and you like that kinda thing, then why not?
I seen a picture of it. It’s black, this here Speedmaster Apollo 8. Looks kinda tough, like it could take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’. They got different kinds of these Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 things, so I heard. Lots of choices for rich folk, I guess. Not for the likes of me, though. I got my old watch, and that’s good enough for me. Tells the time, that’s all I need.
They say the folks on that Apollo 8, back in ’68, were the first to see the other side of the moon. The dark side, they call it. Musta been somethin’, huh? To see somethin’ no one else ever seen before. Brave folks, them astronauts. Flyin’ off into the dark like that. Imagine the stories they have. Like this Omega Dark Side Moon Apollo 8, all full of stories.
- This watch, it’s got a black strap. They say it’s made of “Cordura fabric.” Sounds fancy.
- They say this watch is “awesome.” I guess if you’re into watches, it is.
- That price, though! $12,000! Could buy a whole lotta things with that kinda money.
- That “3869” and “3861” they talkin’ about, that’s the insides of the watch, I reckon. Like the guts of it.
- They use a laser to make it look like the moon on the inside. Fancy stuff. Real Apollo Program type deal.
This Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8 is all about rememberin’ that trip to the moon. That Apollo Program, it was a big deal. I remember folks talkin’ about it, even way out here. We didn’t have a TV, but we heard about it on the radio. Everyone was excited. A real big step, they said. And now they got this watch to remember it by. That Omega Dark Side Moon Apollo 8. Times change.
If you already got one of these fancy Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 watches, they say you probably don’t need this new one. But if you ain’t never had one, and you got the money, well, maybe this is the one for you. It’s a CopyOMEGA, so it’s like the real deal, just not as old. Me, I’m happy with what I got. Don’t need no fancy moon watch to tell the time. But it’s nice to look at, I suppose. And it’s got a story, that’s for sure. The story of them brave folks who went to the moon, all them years ago. And how they circled it, lookin’ at that dark side that no one had ever seen before. That’s what this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” is all about. It is good.
This here watch is for them rich folks who like to collect things. Like stamps, or coins, or fancy cars. This here is a fancy watch, for sure. A CopyOMEGA. With the moon on it. It’s somethin’ alright. Somethin’ to think about. All that history, all that science, all wrapped up in a little thing you wear on your wrist. The world’s a strange place, ain’t it? This Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s a strange and fancy thing.
You can wear that moon right there on your arm. Well, not the real moon. Just a picture. But still, that’s somethin’ ain’t it? This Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8. A whole lot of money for a watch, but I guess some folks think it’s worth it. For the story, maybe. Or just to say they got one. Who knows. It’s a mystery to me, just like that dark side of the moon used to be.
