This here Omega Speedmaster, they call it 38mm, I heard. Sounds like some fancy talk to me. But I seen pictures, and it looks like a right nice watch. Ain’t as big and clunky as some of them other ones. My old man, bless his soul, he used to wear a watch big enough to choke a horse. This one, though, it seems just about the right size for a regular fella, or even a lady, I reckon.
Now, they say this here watch, it’s a copy. A fake, some folks call it. But you know what? Some of these copies, they ain’t half bad. My neighbor, she got one of them fake handbags once. Looked just like the real deal, ‘cept it didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I figure it’s the same with this Omega Speedmaster 38mm. If you ain’t got the money for the real one, and you just want something that looks good on your wrist, why not?
I heard some folks sayin’, if your wrist ain’t bigger than a fence post, this 38mm is the way to go. Makes sense, I suppose. Don’t want no watch swallowin’ up your whole arm. Just like you wouldn’t want a hat bigger than your head. It’s all about proportion, you see.
But I also heard, these fake Omega Speedmaster watches, sometimes they got words spelled all wrong. Or them little numbers ain’t lined up right. Like when my grandson tries to write his name and it all goes crooked. It’s because the folks makin’ them fakes, they ain’t as careful as the real watchmakers, I guess. They’re in too much of a hurry to make a quick buck.
And if you are thinking about getting this watch, you might be wondering, how do you know its the real deal, not some cheap knock-off? Here are a few things I heard tell about:
- Check the Writing: Real Omega watches, they got perfect writing on ’em. The fake ones, sometimes they spell things wrong or the letters are all crooked, like a drunk chicken walked across it.
- Look at the Numbers: Same with the numbers. On a real Omega, they’re all lined up nice and neat. On a fake one, they might be wonky or different sizes, like a bunch of kids playing dress-up.
- Feel the Weight: The real ones, they got some heft to ’em. They feel solid, like a good cast iron skillet. The fake ones, they might feel light and cheap, like a tin can.
Now, they say this real Omega Speedmaster, it holds its value. Means you can sell it later and still get some good money for it. Like a good piece of land, it don’t lose its worth. ‘Specially if it’s an old one, or one of them special ones they only made a few of. Them’s like gold, I reckon. People collect ’em, like some folks collect them little porcelain dolls. And if you have one that is really old, that is even better.
They used to make a smaller version, called it the Omega Speedmaster Reduced. But I heard they stopped makin’ it back in, oh, I don’t know, 2009 or somethin’. Long time ago. So if you see one of them, it’s probably been around the block a few times. Doesn’t mean it’s bad. Some things are better with age like fine wine and good cheese. This Omega Speedmaster Reduced, it is discontinued now.
So, this Omega Speedmaster 38mm, it’s a good lookin’ watch, even if it is a copy. Just make sure you check it over good before you buy it. You don’t want to get stuck with somethin’ that ain’t worth a hill of beans. And if you do end up gettin’ one, wear it in good health, as my old mama used to say. It will look good on your wrist, as long as your wrist isn’t too big or too small. Just don’t go around saying you got the real deal if you didn’t. That is not right, no sir. Be honest, that is the best thing to do.
This here copy Omega Speedmaster 38mm, it’s a good choice for folks who want a nice watch without spendin’ a fortune, I suppose. And maybe it will hold some of its value, who knows? But like I said, them real ones, they’re the ones that are really worth somethin’. But hey, if you like the look of it, and it tells the time, that’s all that matters, right? It is a good size, not too big, not too small, just right, like Goldilocks’ porridge.
But, again, just be careful out there. There’s a lot of folks tryin’ to sell you a bill of goods. Make sure you know what you’re buyin’, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. If someone is trying to sell you this watch and they are saying it is the real deal, make sure they can prove it. A real Omega Speedmaster, that is something to be proud of. A copy? Well, that’s just somethin’ to tell the time with, I reckon.
