So, I finally pulled the trigger and got myself a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. You know, the one with the open case back? Yeah, that’s the one. Always wanted one of these bad boys. I have been eyeing it for a while now, and let me tell you, the journey to get it was something else.
First off, I started by looking around online. I needed to make sure I was getting the real deal, not some knock-off. I mean, we’re talking about a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster here, it’s gotta be legit. So, I read a bunch of stuff, looked at a ton of pictures, and compared a whole lot of watches. Checked out different models, you know, just to be sure I was getting the one I really wanted. And it had to be the one with the open back – that’s what I really dig about it, being able to see all the guts and gears moving around inside.
Next up, the price. Man, these things can get pricey. I saw some for $7,299.00, some for a bit less at around $4,000.00, and even some used ones for $2,500.00. I shopped around, compared prices from different places, and tried to find the best deal I could. I even checked out some online marketplaces where people sell used watches. There was this one site, where you can even finance it, if you are in the USA. That’s cool, but I wanted to pay it all at once, I like being done with it, you know?
Looking for Clues
- Movement: Checked that sweet Cal.3861 movement. You can see it all through the sapphire crystal on the back.
- Details: Made sure all the little details were right. The “dot over 90” on the bezel, the right number of clicks when you wind it, all that stuff.
- Box and Papers: I know it sounds silly, but I wanted the whole package. The big black box, the warranty cards, the little booklet, everything.
After I felt pretty good about the price, I started looking at where to buy it. I wanted to go through an official store, you know, to be extra sure. There are a few authorized dealers around, and they all have websites where you can see what they have. Some even offer extra warranties, which is a nice bonus. I decided to go to a store in person because I wanted to see the watch with my own eyes before buying it. I was like, hey, I’m gonna do this right.
So, I went to the store, and there it was. The CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, right there in the display case. It looked even better in person. I asked the guy to let me try it on, and man, it felt great on my wrist. I played around with the chronograph, wound it up a bit, and just admired all the little details. I was sold.
I ended up getting it, of course. Paid for it, got all the paperwork, and walked out of there with a big smile on my face. Now, I’m wearing it every day, and I gotta say, it’s pretty awesome. It’s not just a watch; it’s like a little piece of history on your wrist. And yeah, it’s supposed to hold its value pretty well, maybe not as good as a Rolex, but still, it’s a solid investment.
If you’re thinking about getting one of these, I say go for it. Just make sure you do your homework, check the prices, and get it from a good place. You won’t regret it. This thing is a classic for a reason.
