You know, I heard folks talking ’bout this GoldenEye watch. What’s the big deal? I seen a lot of watches in my time, some fancy, some not so much. But this one, they say it’s special. Reminds me of that movie, the one with the good-lookin’ fella, the spy, you know? That James Bond. He’s a cool cat, always gettin’ into trouble.
They say this GoldenEye watch, it’s like the one that James Bond fella wore in that movie. I remember that movie, the one they call “GoldenEye.” That was a good one. Lots of bang bang and boom boom. Kept me on the edge of my seat, I tell ya. I watched it when I was a young lady, and even for me, it was a bit much. All them folks dying and gettin’ shot up. Lord have mercy. But you know what, that Bond, he always comes out on top. Slicker than a greased piglet, that one.
Now, this watch, the GoldenEye watch, they say it’s made by OMEGA. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like somethin’ you’d find in one of them fancy city stores. I heard it called a Seamaster. What is a Seamaster? I don’t know. Don’t sound like no watch I ever seen. We always just had them regular watches, you know, the kind that tell time. But these young folks, they like all these fancy gadgets.
I reckon this GoldenEye watch, it must be somethin’ special if that Bond fella wore it. He always had the best stuff. The fastest cars, the prettiest women, and now, this fancy watch. I guess if you’re gonna be savin’ the world, you need a good watch to keep ya on track. Don’t wanna be late for doomsday, now do ya?
I seen some pictures of this watch. It’s got a blue face, kinda like the sky on a clear day. And it’s got all them little numbers and hands and whatnot. Looks complicated to me. I bet it’s hard to read, especially when you’re gettin’ shot at! But I guess that’s why they pay that Bond fella the big bucks. He can handle all that fancy stuff.
Some folks say you can tell these fancy watches from the others. These chronographs, they call them, are easy to spot. What a word! Sounds like a disease or something. I don’t know about all that. A watch is a watch, far as I’m concerned.
I heard some folks buyin’ these GoldenEye watches used. From Japan, no less! Can you believe it? Flyin’ all the way across the ocean just for a watch. Must be some watch, huh? I guess if you got the money, you can do whatever you want. Me, I’d rather spend my money on somethin’ useful. Like a new pair of shoes. Or maybe a nice pie.
- GoldenEye, that’s the name.
- OMEGA Seamaster, fancy words.
- James Bond, that cool spy.
- Blue like the sky.
- Expensive, I bet.
This one time, someone mentioned that GoldenEye is not only a watch, but also a game. A video game. A game you play on the television. I do not know much about that. A game where the James Bond fella with the watch shooting people, running around, doing spy stuff. Apparently, it’s violent. It’s not for me.
Now, the real question is, why all the fuss about this GoldenEye watch? Is it because it’s fancy? Is it because it’s expensive? Or is it because that Bond fella wore it? I don’t know. Maybe it’s a little bit of all of it. But one thing’s for sure, it’s got folks talkin’. And in this old world, that’s somethin’, ain’t it?
I don’t need no fancy GoldenEye watch to tell me what time it is. I got my trusty old watch right here. It may not be fancy, but it gets the job done. And that’s all that matters to me. I do not care if a famous spy wore it. I do not care if it is expensive or from another country. A watch is a watch, just like I said. It tells you the time. That is it.
But hey, if you got the money and you want a GoldenEye watch, you go right ahead. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you lose it or break it. Or when you can’t figure out how to read all them little numbers. I’ll be here, with my simple watch, tellin’ the time just fine. You can keep your fancy OMEGA Seamaster. You can keep your James Bond. I am happy as I am.
