Alright, folks, gather ’round. Today, I’m gonna share my little adventure of getting a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with that see-through back – you know, the one where you can see all the tiny gears and stuff moving inside. Yeah, that’s the one, the Sapphire one.
So, first off, I started digging around online. I mean, who goes to a store these days? Typed in “CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Sapphire” and a bunch of stuff popped up. I saw some videos, pictures, all that jazz. Got me all excited, you know?
Then, I got to thinking, “How do I know I’m not getting ripped off?” I read somewhere that you gotta check the fonts, the logo, and the markings on the dial. They gotta be sharp, like a tack. So, I started looking at a ton of pictures of real Speedys. I mean, I was practically cross-eyed by the end of it. But hey, I wanted to know what a real one looked like, right?
Next, I found out about this laser etching thing on the back of the watch. Apparently, it’s supposed to be some kind of anti-counterfeit thing. And get this, there’s a reference number inside the case-back and an eight-digit serial number on the movement. Sounds complicated, but it’s important if you don’t wanna get scammed. And let me tell you, if you’re new to this whole Speedmaster thing, especially if you’re not into old watches, don’t skip this part. It’s a lifesaver, believe me.
I also heard that these Speedmaster watches, especially the old ones and the special editions, they hold their value pretty good. Kinda like how my neighbor collects those porcelain dolls, but these watches are way cooler, if you ask me. They got that classic look that never goes out of style.
Now, there’s this other Speedmaster, they call it “Reduced” or “Automatic.” It winds itself, which is neat and all, but it wasn’t what I was after. I wanted the classic, the one that’s like the one that went to the moon. You know, the “original order” one.
I watched a few unboxing videos, too. Man, those folks make it look so fancy. But let’s be real, it ain’t got nothin’ to do with the moon, even though some people call it a Moonwatch. It’s just a watch, a darn good one, but still just a watch.
The Big Moment
So, after all that research, I finally pulled the trigger. Found a place online that seemed legit, and I ordered it. When it finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Tore open that box, and there it was, shining and all. Checked the fonts, the logo, the etching – everything looked good. And the best part? I could see all those little gears moving through that clear back. It was mesmerizing, I tell ya.
I’ve been wearing it for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s a pretty sweet watch. Feels good on the wrist, looks sharp, and it’s a great conversation starter. People ask me about it all the time. And you know what? I feel pretty good knowing I did my homework and got the real deal.
So, there you have it. That’s my story of getting a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the Sapphire crystal. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it. If you’re thinking about getting one, just do your research, be patient, and you’ll be alright.
