You know what? I saw this watch, this, uh, CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, yeah, that’s the one. Open case back. They say it’s like the one they wore on the moon. Big deal. But it looks alright, I guess. Shiney and all. I don’t know nothing about them going to the moon, seem pretty far away to me.
They got this fancy store, they call it “Official flagship store.” Sounds important, don’t it? Probably cost a whole heap of money. My grandson, he’s always on that internet, he told me about it. He say everyone love this OMEGA brand.
This here watch, it’s got some kind of fancy name, Speedmaster Moonwatch. Like it’s gonna make you speedy or something. I reckon it just tells the time like any other watch. But folks sure do make a fuss over it. I guess I am old fashioned. Don’t know these new things.
They say it’s new, this Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional. Came out this year, all new and shiny. Probably cost more than my old cow. But hey, if you got the money, I guess you can buy whatever you want. Even if it don’t make much sense to me. They said it’s the best watch in their store. But you know, they would say that.
They talking about some OMEGA Speedmaster things. They are all look same to me, just watches. But I guess some folks, they like to collect ’em. Like stamps or them little porcelain dolls. Different strokes for different folks, as they say.
This watch, it’s got some kind of special… I don’t know… lugs? They say they’re “twisted.” Sounds painful. But they say it makes it look good. These young folks and their fancy words. Back in my day, we just called ’em… I don’t even know what we called ’em. Just the things that hold the strap on.

This other thing, they call it a “crystal.” But it ain’t like no crystal I ever seen. More like glass, I reckon. They say it’s like the old one, from way back when. 1969, they say. That’s a long time ago. I wasn’t even married yet in 1969. Time sure does fly. Even without a fancy Moonwatch.
They say this watch was worn on the moon. By them astronaut fellas. Apollo 11, they call it. Sounds like some kind of sickness. But I guess it was a big deal. Going to the moon and all. I don’t rightly understand it. But it sure does make this watch seem special, I suppose.
This other one, they call it “Two Tone.” Sounds like a car. But it’s just another one of them Moonwatch things. They say it got some “Calibre 3861.” Sounds like a gun. I hope these are all right. But it’s probably just some fancy watch part. They always got to make things complicated. Why can’t they just say it’s a good watch and be done with it? I bet these young people don’t even know how to use it.
This watch is big, too. 42 millimeters. Sounds like army talk. They said it’s thick, too. They also said it got something called “Super-LumiNova.” Shine in dark or something. I guess that’s useful if you’re out in the dark. But I ain’t been out in the dark in years. Got my lamp right here by the bed. Don’t need no glow-in-the-dark watch.
They keep going on about this Moonwatch. Say it’s the first one on the moon. 1969, they keep saying. Like I’m gonna forget. They say it’s been on the most “lunar missions.” Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. But I guess it’s important to some folks. They keep talking about some “Hesalite crystal” and a black dial. I guess it’s black. They said it’s almost the same design like the old one. Well, if it’s so good, why they change it?
Anyways, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, with the open back and all. It’s probably a fine watch. For folks who like that sort of thing. Me? I’m happy with my old clock. It ticks, it tocks, it tells the time. That’s all I need. But you young people, you go on and buy your fancy moon watches. Maybe you can go to the moon one day, too. That would be something, I suppose. Just be careful up there. Don’t go falling into no craters or nothing. And if you see any moon men, you tell ’em I said hello. I will wait you come back and tell me if it’s good or not.
