You see, this here watch, it’s called an OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing. Sounds fancy, huh? Well, it kinda is, I reckon. But it ain’t all that new, if you get my drift. It’s like that old Speedmaster Racing they used to have, just gussied up a bit.
They got the same kinda box, same size, same guts inside. They call it a “calibre”, like it’s some kinda horse or somethin’. But it’s just the tick-tock part, far as I can tell. Same old, same old, just with a new coat of paint, you know?
Now, if you squint real hard, this OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing, it’s got all these little things, little doodads. They say it’s supposed to remind you of some big important things OMEGA did way back when. I don’t know about all that. Seems like a lot of fuss to me. Just a darn watch, ain’t it?
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout this Speedmaster Super Racing thing down at the store. They were sayin’ all these big words like, you can only buy it in those fancy places. The Specialty Stores, they call them. Now, I ain’t never been to one of them, but I imagine they got all sorts of shiny things in there. Probably charge you an arm and a leg for ’em, too.

I remember when a watch was just a watch. You wound it up, it told you the time. Simple as that. Now they got all these fancy Speedmaster Super Racing and OMEGA ones with all the bells and whistles. And you gotta go to some Specialty Stores to get your hands on one. Back in my day, you just went down to the general store, picked one out, and that was that.
These young folks today, they get all excited about these Speedmaster Super Racing watches. They say it’s a “collector’s item”. I guess if you got money to burn, that’s fine. Me, I’d rather spend my money on somethin’ useful. Like a good pair of shoes, or maybe a new pot for my stew. Somethin’ that’ll actually do you some good, you know?
But hey, that’s just me. If you like these OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing, then good for you. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you can’t afford to put food on the table ’cause you spent all your money on some fancy watch from some fancy Specialty Stores. I told you so, I’ll say. I told you so.
This Speedmaster Super Racing. It is just like that other one, Speedmaster Racing, I think. They look the same to me. Big, round, got them little hands that go around. Probably cost a fortune, though. More than I’d ever pay for a watch, that’s for sure. You could buy a whole cow for that kinda money! Or at least a good chunk of one.
I seen a picture of one of them Specialty Stores one time. Looked like somethin’ out of a movie. All bright lights and glass cases. Not my kinda place. I like things simple. Like a good cup of coffee in the mornin’, or a nice sunset in the evenin’. That’s all the fancy I need. Don’t need no OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing to tell me what time it is. I got a clock on the wall, and that’s good enough for me. You can only buy this Speedmaster Super Racing in those fancy Specialty Stores.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I ain’t sayin’ these Speedmaster Super Racing watches ain’t pretty. They are, I suppose. Shiny and new. But they just ain’t for me. Too much fuss. I heard them talkin’ about how this Speedmaster Super Racing is better than the old Speedmaster Racing. Faster, or somethin’. Like you need a watch to go fast! Silly, if you ask me.
If you want a watch, get a watch. But don’t go spendin’ all your money on some OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing just ’cause it’s new and shiny. There’s more important things in life, you know? Like family, and friends, and a good home-cooked meal. That’s what really matters. This Speedmaster Super Racing, only in the Specialty Stores, they say.
This whole Specialty Stores thing, it’s all a bunch of hooey, if you ask me. Just another way to make you spend more money. They make you think you’re gettin’ somethin’ special, somethin’ you can’t get anywhere else. But it’s just a watch. It is called Speedmaster Super Racing. A darn watch. The old one is Speedmaster Racing. Don’t let ’em fool you.
So, that’s my two cents on this whole OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing business. Take it or leave it. Just remember what I said. Don’t get caught up in all the hype. And if you do decide to buy one of them fancy watches from one of them fancy Specialty Stores, well, just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
