Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this here watch, this OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, they call it “Dark Side of the Moon”. It’s a copy, mind you, not one of them fancy real ones, but it sure looks the part! I seen it and thought, “Lord have mercy, that’s a good-lookin’ timepiece!”
They say it’s s’posed to be like the Apollo 8 mission. You know, the one where them astronaut fellas went ’round the moon? Back in ’68, that was. December, I reckon. This watch, it’s got that whole “Dark Side of the Moon” thing goin’ on. Makes sense, seein’ as how they went to the moon and all. This copy OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s somethin’ else.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these fancy watches, but I can tell you this much: this copy OMEGA, it’s somethin’ special. It’s all black, like the night sky. And it’s got these little details, like somethin’ called a “skeletonized dial.” I don’t rightly know what that means, but it sure looks purty. It’s like you can see all the insides of the watch, all them little gears and wheels turnin’. And there’s a little rocket like the Saturn V, shootin’ to the moon on the dial! It is a classic style, I can say that.
- It’s black, like the dark side of the moon, they say.
- It’s got that fancy “skeletonized dial.”
- It’s got a little rocket on it, like the one that went to the moon!
- It’s a copy, but it sure looks real.
- It reminds me of that time them astronauts went ’round the moon.
This here watch, it’s got a special name for the insides: OMEGA Calibre 1869. Sounds fancy, don’t it? And on the back, it’s got writin’ on it. Says “APOLLO 8, DEC 1968” and “DARK SIDE OF THE MOON”. Now, that’s somethin’ you don’t see every day. The OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is a great watch, they say.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout another number, 3869. They say it is like another one, 3861, but with some fancy laser work on the front that looks like the moon. Well, I’ll be! Sounds mighty complicated to me. This dark side of the moon is really somethin’ special.
They say this watch, the real one, it costs a whole heap of money. More money than I’ve ever seen in my life! But this copy, well, it’s a bit more reasonable. Still, it ain’t cheap, but you get a lot of watch for your money. This Speedmaster Apollo 8 is popular.
Now, I know some folks, they wouldn’t be caught dead wearin’ a copy. They say it ain’t right. But me, I say, if it looks good and it tells time, what’s the harm? Besides, who’s gonna know the difference ‘cept you and me? This copy OMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8, it is a good copy.
This watch, it comes on a black strap. They call it Cordura fabric. Sounds tough, don’t it? And it looks good, too. Matches the watch real nice. It is a classic style watch.
Some folks say these OMEGA watches, even the copies, are worth gettin’. They say it’s ’cause of the design. I don’t know ’bout all that, but I do know this: this here watch, it’s a conversation starter. Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout the MoonSwatch, whatever that is, and now they’re talkin’ ’bout the Speedmaster more than ever.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a good-lookin’ watch that won’t break the bank, this copy OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” might just be the ticket. It’s got that whole space thing goin’ for it, it’s got that fancy “skeletonized dial,” and it’s got that little rocket. What more could you ask for? I think it’s worth the money, for a copy.
I reckon this copy OMEGA, it’s a good way to remember that time them astronauts went to the moon. A piece of history, right there on your wrist. Even if it is just a copy. It’s a good watch. A good copy watch.
This whole package, this watch and that strap, it all just comes together real nice. Like a good bowl of stew on a cold winter’s night. It just feels right. The OMEGA Speedmaster is always popular.
