You know, that CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”Original order, it’s a real mouthful, ain’t it? But lemme tell ya, it’s somethin’ else. My grandson, he’s always goin’ on about these fancy watches. This one, he says, is special. Says it’s like wearin’ the moon on your wrist. Well, I don’t know about all that, but it sure is pretty.
This CopyOMEGA, it’s all black and shiny. Like a piece of coal, but the good kind, you know? The kind that gleams when the sun hits it just right. He says it’s ’cause it’s the “Dark Side of the Moon”. I reckon that’s just a fancy way of sayin’ it’s black, but hey, what do I know? I just know it looks mighty fine. And it is a copy, not the real one, save some money.
He showed me all the little doohickeys on it. There’s these little hands, and numbers, and all sorts of things spinnin’ around. He says it tells the time, and the date, and I don’t even know what else. More than I need, that’s for sure. But it’s all put together real nice. Like one of them fancy quilts my neighbor Martha used to make. All the pieces fit just so.
And get this, he says this CopyOMEGA watch is s’posed to be like the one them astronaut fellas wore when they went to the moon. The Apollo 8, he called it. Now, I remember watchin’ that on the television. Black and white, of course. Couldn’t see much, but it was excitin’ all the same. Imagine, goin’ all the way to the moon! I could never imagine that kind of thing.
He says this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is a “chronograph”. Sounds like somethin’ out of a science fiction picture show. But apparently, it means it can do more than just tell the time. It is a copy, but also do the same thing. It’s like a stopwatch, he says. For racin’ and such. Don’t see why anyone would need that, but I guess some folks do. This is a good copy, can do anything the real one do.
He also showed me how you can see all the insides of the watch. He says the dial is, how do you say that, “skeletonised”. The movement beautifully depicts the lunar surface. I don’t know what it means, but it sound fancy. It’s all gears and springs and whatnot. Looks mighty complicated. I wouldn’t know where to begin to put somethin’ like that together. But it’s fascinatin’ to look at. Like watchin’ a bunch of ants buildin’ a hill. Busy, busy, busy. The copy one also can see the inside, I don’t know the different with the real one.

He says there are words on the back of the CopyOMEGA watch. “APOLLO 8”, it says. And some other stuff I can’t recall. Somethin’ about the “Co‑Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3869”. Now that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? Sounds important, though. The copy one have the same thing on it. My grandson told me, don’t be afraid, this is a good copy, good like the real one. I trust him.
Anyway, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch, it’s somethin’ else. I don’t know all the technical stuff, but it is a good copy. I just know it’s a nice lookin’ watch, and it makes my grandson happy. And that’s all that really matters, ain’t it? He always said if I want one, he can find a good copy one for me, save me some money. He said this copy one is original order, I don’t know what that mean, but sound good.
He kept goin’ on about how it’s a “luxury” watch and how much it costs. Said it was a good deal, but it is a copy one, not cost that much, don’t need to worry about that. Way more than I’d ever spend on a watch. But he’s a good boy, and he works hard, so if he wants to spend his money on a fancy CopyOMEGA watch, that’s his business. This copy one also good for me, I don’t need that expensive.
This CopyOMEGA watch, it’s like a little piece of history, I guess. A reminder of that time them astronauts went to the moon. A reminder that folks can do amazin’ things when they put their minds to it. And it’s a reminder that my grandson is a good boy, even if he does spend too much money on fancy watches. But this is a copy one, so it is ok. I think I will get one copy, since my grandson said it is good and cheap.
So, yeah, that’s the story of that CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch. It’s a pretty thing. And even though I don’t understand all the fuss, I can appreciate it. It’s like a little piece of the moon, right there on your wrist. Well, not really, but you know what I mean. And this is a copy one, good one.
