This here thing, they call it a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chrono Chime, or somethin’ like that. Sounds fancy, huh? Well, it’s just a watch, I reckon. A dang expensive one, I heard. It tells time, and has all these extra little hands and buttons. For rich folks, I guess. I don’t know much ’bout these things, but I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market.
They say it’s a “chrono” somethin’. Means it got a stopwatch, I think. Like you see at them races. And “chime”, that means it makes noise, like a little bell. I don’t know why you need a watch to ring, but these rich folks like their fancy gadgets, I reckon. Don’t need no fancy watch to know what time it is. Just look at the sun, that’s what I always say.
This OMEGA Speedmaster, that’s the name they keep sayin’. Sounds like somethin’ outta one of them space movies. They say it’s been to the moon. Well, I ain’t never been to the moon, and I don’t need no watch that’s been there either. Just somethin’ to brag about, I suppose.
And this “Copy” part, well that just means it ain’t the real deal. It looks like a real OMEGA Speedmaster Chrono Chime, but it ain’t as good, I bet. Like buyin’ a purse that looks like one of them designer ones, but it falls apart after a week. You get what you pay for, that’s what I always say. But even the copy is expensive! I can’t believe it.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout how much these things cost. More than my whole house, I bet! They say you can buy ’em used, like a used car. “Pre-owned,” they call it. Still costs a fortune, though. Some folks like to collect ’em, like stamps or them little porcelain dolls.
- They say there’s different kinds, too. Some are cheaper. This one here, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chrono Chime, it’s one of the real expensive ones. But some are like 2,560, whatever that means. That’s a lot of money!
- This one is for “serious collectors”, whatever that means. 45 mm, big and heavy, I bet. They say it is “Numbered Edition”.
- This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, they say it’s gonna last. Well, it better, for that price! And they say it looks good. I guess it does, kinda shiny. And it’s got “history,” they say. Been around a long time, this Speedmaster thing.
They say there’s a place, called Chrono24 or somethin’, where you can buy and sell these things. Like a flea market for fancy watches, I guess. And they even got this “financing” thing, where you can pay for it a little bit at a time. Like layaway, but for rich folks. This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster, is even on there, I heard.
They even got a new one. 2024 New Speedmaster Chrono Chime, they call it. Blue, and shiny gold. Even fancier than the others, I reckon. Costs even more, too. More than I make in a year, I bet!
They say it’s a “classic,” this OMEGA Speedmaster. Been around since 1957, I heard someone say. That’s before I was even born! They say it’s “timeless,” which means it never goes outta style. Like a good pair of overalls, I guess. Or maybe not.
They got all these different kinds, too. “Moonwatch,” “Reduced,” “Racing.” Sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me. All I know is, it’s a watch. A dang expensive watch. And this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chrono Chime is just a copy of that expensive watch. Still costs a lot, though. And it probably will increase in price, just like everything else.
If you got that kind of money, well, good for you, I guess. Me, I’ll stick to my old Timex. It tells time just fine. And it don’t need no fancy name like CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chrono Chime to do it. It tells time, that all I care about.
