Alright, let’s talk about this watch I messed around with – the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001. Yeah, that’s a mouthful, so we’ll just call it the “Apollo 8 Dark Side of the Moon” one.
First off, I got this thing from what they call an “official flagship store.” Now, I ain’t no watch expert, but I figured that’s the place to go if you want the real deal, right?
Unboxing
- The box? Fancy as hell. Way fancier than any watch box I’ve ever seen.
- Inside, there’s the watch, all wrapped up nice and snug.
- There’s also a bunch of papers and stuff – warranty, instructions, the usual.
I started digging into the watch itself. It’s black, like, really black. They say it’s made of ceramic, whatever that is. Feels kinda cool, though. Not like those metal watches that get all cold in the winter. This one’s different, all smooth and, well, ceramic-y.
Then, I flipped it over. And guess what? You can see all the guts inside! All those little gears and springs, moving around. It’s like a tiny little city in there. I could watch that for hours.
The 3869 is laser ablation treatment on the dial side that mimics the near side of the * looks good.
I started reading up on this Apollo 8 stuff. Turns out, it’s got something to do with some mission to the moon way back when. I ain’t no history buff, but it’s kinda cool to think about. This watch, or one like it, was up there, you know?
Now, I wore this thing around for a while, just to see how it felt. It’s not too heavy, not too light. Just right, I’d say. And it got some looks, too. People asking me about it, what kind it is, where I got it. Felt kinda good, not gonna lie.
But here’s the thing – I started wondering about if it was worth it, I googled it and it hold value pretty well. I mean, it’s a lot of money for a watch, even a fancy one like this. I guess it’s more than just a watch, though. It’s like a piece of history, or something.
So, that’s my story about the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch. I played with it, I learned about it, and I even felt a little cooler wearing it. Would I tell you to buy one? I don’t know. It’s your money. But I can tell you this – it’s one heck of a watch.
