You know, I heard them young folks talkin’ ’bout this here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 38mm thing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Well, I ain’t one for fancy things, but I reckon I can tell ya a thing or two about it. It’s a watch, see? Like the one your grandpa used to wear, but this one, they say it’s a “copy.” Now, I don’t know ’bout all that, but it looks mighty fine in them pictures they show. They call it “Speedmaster”. Sounds like something that would go fast. Maybe they gonna use it to race horses. I don’t know for sure.
They say this Speedmaster, it’s for folks who want a luxury watch. Like them rich folks on the TV. But this one, it ain’t as much money. Less than what the real one. It ain’t real gold and diamonds but sure look like it from where I sit. It’s for regular people like me and you, I suppose. They make it look just like the real one, though. You wouldn’t even know the difference! Unless you’re one of them fancy watch experts, I reckon.
These Omega Speedmaster replicas, they got all kinds. Different colors, different styles. Just like them candies at the general store, there’s one for everybody, I guess. There’s a whole bunch to choose from. They say there is a whole “collection.” Like my collection of buttons at home. But I bet this one costs more than my buttons. I heard it was some famous watch one time. Famous like those movie stars, you know? They say it’s a “tribute” to some other watch. I don’t know much ’bout that, but it sounds important.
One thing they talk about is how it is “38mm”. I guess that is the size. Smaller than a big biscuit, that is for sure. They say the “Professional” one, it fits about the same. Like my old shoes, they fit just right. So, this watch, it probably fits good too. Comfortable, you know? Not too tight, not too loose. Just right for wearin’ all day long. I reckon you could wear it to church on Sunday, or just when you are out at the field working.
- These watches, they are a good deal, they say.
- You can find ’em online.
- They ain’t the real thing, but they look like it.
- Good for folks who want a nice watch but ain’t got a lot of money.
- They got all kinds of these Omega watches.
This one fella was saying it’s called a “Superclone.” Sounds like somethin’ out of a science fiction picture show! They got these fancy names for ’em, like Speedmaster and Seamaster. Like they are some kind of sea creatures. Don’t make much sense to me, but I guess it sounds good to some folks. It don’t matter what they call it. As long as it tells time, I guess it’s fine.
They say these watches have somethin’ called a “9900”. I don’t know what that is. But they said it “winds” itself. Like them old clocks that wind up on their own. Pretty neat, huh? And they say it’s a “Chronometer.” Sounds like somethin’ they use at the doctor’s office. But I think it just means it keeps good time. That’s important, you know. Gotta know when it’s time for supper! And they say it’s “certified” by some fancy group. Like a blue ribbon at the county fair.
This Speedmaster, they say it was worn by them astronaut fellas. You know, the ones who went to the moon! Can you believe that? This watch, or one like it, went all the way to the moon! That’s somethin’, ain’t it? They said it was on the “Apollo 11 mission.” I don’t know what that is exactly, but I sure remember when they landed on the moon. We watched it on the black and white TV at the neighbor’s house.
They call one of these watches the “Moonwatch.” Because of that moon trip. That’s the one they say is the most famous. It don’t have a battery, I hear. You gotta wind it up yourself. Like them old-timey watches. And it’s got a black face. Like the night sky. I reckon that’s why they call it the “Moonwatch.”
They say these watches, some of ’em are “rare.” Like a four-leaf clover. Hard to find. And that makes ’em worth more money. Just like them old coins my husband used to collect. Some of them is worth more than others. They call them “special edition”. Like a special cake you bake for someone’s birthday. Only there ain’t many of them made. Makes them more valuable, I suppose.
Well, I reckon that’s about all I know ’bout this here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 38mm. It’s a watch. A copy of a fancy watch. It looks nice. It tells time. And it ain’t as expensive as the real one. And maybe, just maybe, it’s good enough for folks like us. You know, regular folks who just want a good watch that looks nice and won’t break the bank. I think my grandson would like one of these. He’s always looking at those fancy things. Maybe I’ll get him one for his birthday. If I can figure out how to buy one online, that is! I hope this old lady has helped somebody to learn a little more about these watches.
