Alright, so I recently got my hands on this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. I heard somewhere that it’s called “Dark Side of the Moon” for a reason. I got it, and you know what? I can see why. This thing is sleek, man. It’s like holding a piece of the night sky on your wrist.
First off, I started digging around a bit about the Speedmaster’s history. I found out that way back in 1966, they changed the Speedmaster reference 105.012 to 145.012. And guess what? These were the watches worn on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts! That’s right, these are the original “Moon watches”. Can you believe it? They reached the Moon with Apollo 11. That’s some serious history right there.
I wanted to know more, so I kept on researching. Turns out, these Speedmasters were used throughout the early crewed Apollo program. It got me thinking, what if I got one of the real ones? Would it be worth a fortune now? And speaking of value, I read that the Speedmaster Professional usually holds its value really well. Especially the old ones and the limited edition ones. They can actually go up in price over time because they’re rare and collectors want them. Wild, right?
But then I also found out some other folks said that maybe this watch isn’t as good at holding its value as a Moonwatch Professional. And it might not go up in price like a Rolex. So, who knows? I just wanted a cool watch, and this one is definitely cool.
Unboxing and First Impressions
I got the package and carefully started to unpack it. Man, the presentation is something else. It’s not just a watch in a box, it felt like a whole experience. I opened the box and there it was, this luxury Swiss watch, all shiny and new. They call it the “Dark Side of the Moon” and for a good reason, but some say it’s a wonder. It really is, you know. It’s a mouthful to say, though. CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. Try saying that five times fast!
Holding it in my hands, I felt the weight of it. It’s not heavy, but it’s got a good weight to it that feels, you know, substantial. Like it’s a quality piece. I put it on my wrist and it fit perfectly. It’s comfortable, and it looks amazing.
Wearing It Around
So, I started wearing it around town, to work, to dinner, everywhere. And let me tell you, this thing turns heads. People notice it. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. It’s a conversation starter for sure. I feel like a million bucks wearing it, even though I didn’t spend nearly that much.
I took it with me on a trip too. It was perfect. It’s not just a pretty face, it’s functional. The time is easy to read, even in the dark, which is pretty handy when you’re on the go.
Final Thoughts
After wearing it for a while now, I can say I’m really happy with this purchase. This watch is awesome. It’s got history, it’s got style, and it’s just plain cool. Plus, it’s been a great conversation piece.
- Pros: Looks amazing, feels great on the wrist, and has a cool history.
- Cons: It’s a bit of a mouthful to say the full name, and I don’t know if it will go up in price. But hey, I’m not planning on selling it anytime soon.
So, that’s my story with the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m excited to see where this watch takes me next. Maybe not to the Moon, but you never know!
