Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001, also known as the Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” – Rocket, for a while now. I finally decided to pull the trigger and get one. It was not easy, you know. But man, this watch is something else!
First off, I spent ages looking around online, trying to find the best deal. I mean, these things aren’t cheap. I checked out a bunch of different websites to compare prices. I noticed some sites had it listed as “Apollo 8”, others as “Omega Speedmaster”, and some even just called it “The Dark Side of the Moon”. It got a bit confusing, to be honest, and I needed to make sure I got the right one. This watch is something I want to put on my wrist.
After what felt like forever, I found a solid price. I won’t say where, ’cause, you know, I don’t want everyone getting the same deal. But let’s just say it was a good price, not too crazy. Finally, I made a decision to go to the store, because I want to see it before I make the purchase. Once I saw it in person, I know I have to get it!
The ordering process was pretty smooth. It took forever to get to me, I thought I would die waiting! But hey, good things come to those who wait, right?
When it finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I ripped open that box so fast! And there it was, in all its glory. This watch is a beauty.
Details:
- Size: It’s 44.25mm, which is a good size for my wrist. Not too big, not too small.
- Case: It’s made of black ceramic, which is pretty cool. Feels tough, you know?
- Dial: The dial is skeletonized, so you can see all the inner workings. It’s like a little piece of art. And it’s got this moon-like texture that’s just awesome.
- Strap: It comes on a leather strap, which is comfortable and looks classy.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now, and I gotta say, I’m in love. It feels great on the wrist, and it’s a real conversation starter. Everyone keeps asking me about it. It makes me feel good. I mean, who wouldn’t want a piece of the moon on their wrist? It reminds me of those Apollo missions, and all that space stuff is just so cool.
So yeah, that’s my story of getting the OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it. If you’re thinking about getting one, I’d say go for it. You won’t regret it. Just be prepared to do some digging to find the right one for you, and maybe save up a bit. It’s not just a watch, it’s like a piece of history. And the feeling when I have it on my wrist is just amazing! I can’t describe how much I like it, seriously!
