Alright, so the other day I was messing around online, like I usually do, and I stumbled upon this watch. Now, I’ve seen my share of watches, but this one, it caught my eye. It’s called the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. Yeah, I know, it’s a real mouthful, right? But I was curious, so I started digging around.
First off, I watched a bunch of videos about it. Guys wearing it, talking about all the little details. It looked pretty slick, I gotta admit. It’s got this black color, kind of like the night sky, which makes sense ’cause of the whole “Dark Side of the Moon” thing. Then, I started reading about it.
- I checked out some forums, you know, where people who are really into watches hang out.
- They were saying this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is a decent size, 44.25mm, whatever that means.
- It’s bigger than my thumb, that’s for sure.
- They also mentioned it’s got something to do with that Apollo 8 mission, where astronauts first saw the far side of the moon.
- That’s pretty cool, I guess.
After that, I figured I’d try to find one in person. I went down to a couple of watch stores in my city. The first place didn’t have it, but the guy there, he knew what I was talking about. He said it was a popular one, especially for folks who like that classic style. Then, I hit up another store, and bingo, they had one!
Seeing it in person, it’s definitely a looker. It’s got this ceramic case, which feels solid, not cheap at all. The strap is leather, and it’s comfortable on the wrist. I tried it on, and yeah, it felt good. It’s got some weight to it, but not too much. You can tell it’s made well.
But here’s the thing, I didn’t buy it.
I mean, it’s a nice watch and all, but it’s way out of my price range. I’m not about to drop that kind of cash on a watch, no matter how cool it looks. I took some pictures with my phone, though, just to remember it.
My Conclusion
So, would I recommend this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”? If you’ve got the money and you’re into watches, sure, go for it. It’s a solid piece, looks good, and it’s got that whole space history thing going for it. But for me, I’ll stick to my regular watch for now. It tells the time just fine, and that’s all I really need.
