Well, let me tell you, I seen a thing or two in my time. But this here OMEGA Speedmaster, that’s somethin’ else. They call it the “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it’s just a watch, a right nice one though. This one, it’s all about that Apollo 8 mission, you know, when them astronaut fellas went round the moon. Musta been somethin’, seein’ the earth from way up there.
This here watch, it’s got a black ceramic case. Shiny and black, like a beetle’s back. And it’s big, 44.25 mm. That’s bigger than my thumb! It’s got a leather strap, feels kinda nice on the wrist. I reckon it would look good on any man, young or old. Even better than those old Speedmaster Moonwatch, those old ones everyone is buying now. They say those Speedmaster “Pre-Moon” are all the rage and will be expensive soon, but this one, this one is new and shiny!
They say this watch is special, somethin’ about the 50th year since them astronauts went to space. Fifty years! Time sure does fly. Makes you think, don’t it? All them years, and we’re still talkin’ about it. Guess it was a big deal, that Apollo 8 thing. This watch, this Speedmaster, is to remember that. It is to commemorate that iconic moment. I heard they used these OMEGA things in all of those Apollo missions, very famous, they say.
Now, I don’t know much about space and all that, but I know a good watch when I see one. And this one, it’s a keeper. It’s got all them little dials and hands, must be complicated to make. I wouldn’t know how to work it, but I bet them young folks would. They’re always fiddlin’ with somethin’.
- Black ceramic case, shiny like a new penny.
- Big size, 44.25 mm, easy to see, even without my spectacles.
- Leather strap, soft as a baby’s bottom.
- All about that Apollo 8 mission, 50 years ago.
- Specialty store exclusive, so you know it’s fancy.
This OMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8, it’s a mouthful, ain’t it? But it’s a good watch, a real good one. If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ special, somethin’ to remember them astronauts by, this is it. This is better than those vintage Speedmaster Moonwatch. And they say you can only get it at them specialty stores. Makes it even more special, don’t it?
I remember when them astronauts first went to the moon, it was all over the television. Black and white picture, kinda fuzzy, but we all watched it. The whole neighborhood was huddled around old Mrs. Johnson’s TV set. It was a big deal, you know. Changin’ times and all that. This OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, it is a big deal too.
Now, this watch, it ain’t cheap. No sir. But it’s worth it, I reckon. It’s one of them things you keep forever. Pass it down to your kids, maybe. A little piece of history, right there on your wrist. A piece of history of those Apollo missions.
I seen a lot of watches in my time, cheap ones, fancy ones. But this one, it’s different. It’s got that… that somethin’ special. That’s what it is. It’s a special watch. It is a good watch for you to wear with pride. If you got the money, that is.
You know, when you get to be my age, you start thinkin’ about these things. About time, and how fast it goes. About the things that matter, the things that last. And this watch, this OMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8, it feels like one of them things. It feels like it’ll last. Like it’ll be around long after I’m gone. And that’s somethin’, ain’t it? That’s really somethin’. You should get one of this OMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon”, it is good.
So if you ever see this watch, this black one with the leather strap, you remember what I told you. You remember that old lady and her stories. It is a good one, worth the money.
