This here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, ain’t it somethin’? Heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. They say it’s like them fancy watches them astronauts wear. Original order, they say. Sounds mighty important, don’t it?
Now, I seen a lot of watches in my day, but this one, it’s got all sorts of numbers and things. Big numbers, little numbers, hands goin’ every which way. It is a lot to look at, I tell ya. And it got that, what do they call it, the “digital display”? Looks like a little TV screen on your wrist. But it’s not for watchin’ stories, no sir. It’s for tellin’ time, and I reckon it does that just fine, along with every other dang thing. It tells more time than I know what to do with!
They say this Speedmaster X-33, that’s what it is, it’s made of that “titanium” stuff. Sounds like somethin’ from outer space, don’t it? Stronger than an ox, I bet. Probably last longer than I will! And it’s big, too. 45mm, they say. Don’t know what a millimeter is, but it sounds big. Big enough to see clear across the field, I reckon. And thick, too, like a good ol’ cornbread.
Now, you gotta be careful with these fancy things. Heard some folks got tricked, buyin’ a fake one. Like buyin’ a pig in a poke, you don’t know what you’re gettin’. They say you gotta check for a magnet. That is right, a magnet. That is what they told me. If it is fake, it will stop working. A real OMEGA watch will keep on ticking. That is something to know, ain’t it?
- Check for that magnet, they say.
- Real ones keep tickin’, fakes stop.
- This X-33, it’s got numbers inside, too.
Inside, they say. Like a secret code. Eight numbers, I heard. Gotta find ’em in the “movement.” Don’t know what that is, but it sounds important. Like the cogs and wheels in old Bessie’s sewing machine. Gotta keep ’em oiled, or they’ll seize up. Same with this watch, I reckon. Gotta keep it runnin’ smooth.
Then there’s somethin’ called the “reference number.” Inside the “case-back.” Like the back of a locket, I suppose. Lots of little secrets hidden in this watch. More secrets than old man Johnson’s got in his shed! He sure does have a lot of junk in there. This watch has a lot of numbers like that shed has junk.
This Skywalker X-33, it’s got a fancy box, too. Not like the box I keep my buttons in. This one’s got a drawer, they say. A secret drawer! For the “manual” and “cards.” Like a deck of playin’ cards, but I bet these ain’t for gamblin’. Probably tell you how to work all them buttons and things. This box is something. I will say that.
They got different kinds of these Speedmaster watches, too. One’s called the “Moonwatch.” Like the one they wore on the moon, they say. Black dial, “Hesalite crystal.” Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a cave. This one ain’t changed much, they say. Like old Mrs. Gable’s apple pie recipe. Same as it ever was, and just as good. That is a good pie.
Then there’s this here X-33 Marstimer. Same size, they say. Same stuff. Like two peas in a pod. Or two mules in a harness. You get the idea. They are about the same, these watches. Just a little different, you know?
The color, now, that’s somethin’ else. “Antique gold,” they call it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like them old picture frames down at the antique store. Looks best against black, they say. Like a gold tooth in a dark mouth, I reckon. Shows up good in the light, too. But not so good in the dark. Like tryin’ to find a black cat in a coal bin. You need a little light to see it. If you are out in the sun, you will see it just fine.
Some folks get these Skywalker X-33 watches with a mistake on ’em. “Faulty engraving,” they call it. Like a typo in the newspaper. Don’t happen often, but it happens. Makes ’em worth somethin’, though, I heard. Like a misprinted stamp. Collectors like that sort of thing. I don’t know why, but they do. People like what they like, I guess.
Well, there you have it. All about this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. More than I ever thought I’d know about a watch. It’s a lot to take in, ain’t it? But it’s somethin’ to talk about, I reckon. Somethin’ to tell the folks down at the market. They’ll be mighty impressed, I bet. This watch is sure something to talk about. I might have to get me one of these.
