You know, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout this here CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Date thing. They say it’s some fancy watch. I don’t know much ’bout fancy, but I reckon it’s somethin’ special if people are yappin’ about it this much. Some says it is the cheapest Omega watch. I don’t think it is cheap. It’s too expensive. They say you can get it online, but I ain’t never bought nothin’ from the internet before. Sounds fishy to me. Omega speedmaster reduced discontinued in 2009.
This Speedmaster, they call it. Sounds fast. Like one of them race cars. Maybe it tells time real fast, too? I seen a lot of fancy watches on sale on the market, but I never see this one. I don’t know. But this Omega thing, it must be somethin’ if it got a name like that. They also call it a “chronograph.” That’s a word I ain’t never heard before. Must be somethin’ them city folk say. And the price, they talk about it like the price between $8,795 – $10,000. It is too much for me. I can buy a lot of food with that price.
I heard some folks sayin’ this Omega Speedmaster, it’s got a “stainless steel case.” Sounds tough. Like it can take a beatin’. And a “black dial.” I reckon that just means the face of the watch is black. Easy enough to understand, I suppose. They also mentioned “hand-wound.” I guess you gotta wind it up yourself. Like them old clocks my grandma used to have. They also say it is the most famous timepieces. I don’t believe that. My friend, Jenny, also has a watch. I think her watch is more famous than this one.
Then there’s this “automatic or manual movement.” Now that’s just plain confusin’. What’s a movement got to do with a watch? I thought it just told time. And “purists” prefer the “hand-wound calibers.” Land sakes, what’s a caliber? Sounds like somethin’ you’d shoot with. Or maybe it’s one of them fancy foreign words. I don’t know why they make it so complicated. My watch at home can tell the time clearly.
This here CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Date, it’s got a history, they say. A long one. I heard it went to the moon. The moon! Can you believe that? They say it’s some kind of space exploration watch. Like astronauts wore it. Now that’s somethin’ else. I ain’t never been to the moon, but I reckon it’s pretty far. You know what? I think I will go to the moon some day. I’m sure it will be fun. My son, Tom, works in NASA. He can take me to the moon.
- They got different kinds of this Speedmaster, too.
- One’s called “Heritage Models.”
- Sounds old.
- Maybe it’s like them antique watches.
- I seen some of them before.
- They’re pretty, but I like my watch just fine.
Another one’s called “Speedmaster Date / Day-Date Steel.” That’s a mouthful. I reckon it tells you the date and the day, besides the time. That’s handy, I guess. Sometimes I forget what day it is. Especially on Sundays. I always get mixed up after church. This watch, they say you can buy it “online.” On the “official OMEGA Website.” I ain’t got a computer, though. And even if I did, I wouldn’t know how to use it. My grandson, Timmy, he’s good with computers. Maybe he can help me. If I ask him nice.
Some folks, they collect these CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Date watches. They say it is luxury. They got a whole bunch of ’em. Must be nice to have that kind of money. I’d rather spend my money on somethin’ useful. Like a new cow. Or maybe a bigger garden. I could grow more tomatoes. I love tomatoes. They are good to eat. I can eat a lot of tomatoes every day. I think I will plant some tomatoes tomorrow.
This one fella, he was talkin’ ’bout a “Pre-owned Omega Speedmaster ref 3523.30.00.” Said it was from 1999. That’s a long time ago. He called it the “Triple Date.” I don’t know what that means. Maybe it tells you three dates at once? That’s just silly. He also said “3520.50 Omega” is another tag. I don’t understand what is tag. But I know some people like to collect these. I prefer to collect eggs from my chickens.
Well, I reckon that’s all I know ’bout this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Date. It’s a fancy watch, that’s for sure. Too fancy for me, I think. But if you got the money, and you like that sort of thing, then I guess it’s a good watch to have. Just don’t ask me to explain all them fancy words. I’m just a simple person, with a simple watch. And that’s just fine by me. I don’t need to know other things about this watch. It is too complicated for me to understand. I think I will go to bed now.
