You wanna know ’bout buyin’ that OMEGA Speedmaster Date, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t like pickin’ taters at the market. These things are fancy, real fancy. Costs more than my old cow Bessie did, that’s for sure!
First thing ya gotta know, there’s a whole heap of these Speedmaster things. They ain’t all the same, ya hear? Some got that, whatchamacallit, moon somethin’ on ’em. Them’s the ones that went up to the moon, I reckon. This OMEGA Speedmaster Date, that’s a different critter. Still fancy, though.
Now, if you’re lookin’ to buy one, and you want a shiny new one, or one that’s almost new, you gotta watch out for that clasp. They got this newfangled thing, a “micro-adjustment clasp,” they call it. Sounds like somethin’ a rocket scientist would come up with. Just make sure you get one with that, if that’s what you’re itchin’ for.
Where do ya find these things? Well, you can go to them fancy stores. Big, shiny places with all them sparkly lights. They got people there dressed up nicer than a Sunday preacher. They’ll show ya all them OMEGA Speedmaster Date watches, and your head will be spinnin’ faster than a weathervane in a hurricane!
- Go to fancy store
- See many OMEGA Speedmaster Date watches

There be other places to get it too. There be ADs, I heard. When I be thinkin of gettin a new one. That may be good.
There’s that Chrono24 thing online. I seen my grandson lookin’ at it. Lotsa watches there, all them Speedmaster Date types. Says they got the best prices. Over 475 of ’em, can ya believe it? More watches than I got chickens in my coop! But you gotta be careful buyin’ things online. Lots of folks out there tryin’ to trick ya. Make sure you know who you’re dealin’ with.
Some of these Speedmaster watches, they don’t even look like the ones you see on the TV. They got different colors, different straps. Some are gold-colored, some are silver. Some are plain. It be so diffcult to choose.
Now, here’s a trick I learned. If the watch is newish, you can call up that OMEGA place. They got a number you can call. You give ’em that serial number, that’s like the watch’s fingerprint, ya see. They can tell ya if that number is in their system. If it ain’t, somethin’ fishy’s goin’ on, like when my neighbor’s dog got into my prize-winnin’ pumpkin pie.
If you get the watch and you are not sure, there’s a way to check if it’s real, I reckon. You gotta go to that OMEGA website thing. You gotta make an account, like signin’ up for the church newsletter. Then you put in that serial number, and some other code. If that website takes them numbers and shows ya somethin’ called “METAS test results,” then you got yourself a real one. Sounds complicated, don’t it?
- Call OMEGA with serial number
- Go to OMEGA website
- Make an account
- Put in serial number and code
- See METAS test results
This Moonwatch, that’s the one everyone thinks of. It’s got that wind-up thing, no batteries, like my old gramophone. And it’s got a black face, like the bottom of my cookin’ pot after a long day of makin’ stew. They say it’s like the one they wore on the moon. Ain’t changed much, neither. The design stays there for long time, they say.
It is important to buy a real one. If you buy a fake one, you be sorry. Just like the time I bought that “miracle” hair tonic from that travelin’ salesman. Didn’t grow me a single hair, and it smelled like old socks! So, be careful when buying OMEGA Speedmaster Date, you hear? It is a lot of money. You do not want to waste it.
And remember to get a good price, too. Don’t just pay whatever they ask. Haggle a little. Like when you’re buyin’ a used plow. You gotta work ’em down a bit. These watches are expensive. You don’t want to spend all your money at once.
If you buy from the internet, be extra careful. Make sure you can see lots of pictures of the watch. And make sure they got that return policy, in case somethin’s wrong. You should ask many questions. Don’t be shy. You work hard for your money.
Buyin’ an OMEGA Speedmaster Date ain’t easy. But if you’re careful, and you do your research, you’ll find the right one. And then you can wear it and feel like a real fancy person, even if you’re just sittin’ on your porch, watchin’ the sunset.
One more thing. Some folks, they like to buy old watches. They call ’em “vintage.” Like old furniture. If you’re into that, make sure you know what you’re doin’. There’s a lot to learn about them old watches. It is not easy to know if they are real or not.
I hope this helps you a little. Buyin’ a watch like that OMEGA Speedmaster Date is a big deal. Just remember what I told ya, and you’ll be alright. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find a watch that’s as good as my apple pie. And that’s sayin’ somethin’!
