Okay, let’s talk about something I recently did – I got myself a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the sapphire crystal, Cal.3861, straight from the official flagship store. Yeah, it was a bit of a splurge, but man, it was worth it.
So, first things first, I already had a Speedmaster with the hesalite crystal. That one’s a classic, no doubt, but I wanted something a bit different this time around. I did some digging, some reading, asked around a bit, and it seemed like people were pretty divided on the whole hesalite versus sapphire thing. Some folks swear by the acrylic crystal, saying it looks nicer. And yeah, it does have that vintage vibe, which is cool. But then others were all about that sapphire, especially because it’s supposed to be tougher.
- The sapphire is made of some fancy stuff called crystalline aluminum oxide.
- It makes the watch tougher and also clearer to read.
I was thinking, you know, this is gonna be my daily driver, so durability is key. Plus, I liked the idea of having a clearer view of that beautiful dial. After all, this thing’s got the history, the look, everything I wanted in a watch.
The Unboxing
The day finally came when I went to pick it up. The whole experience at the store was pretty fancy, I gotta say. They really make you feel special. And then, the unboxing – man, that was something else. It felt like Christmas morning, but way better. The watch was just sitting there, gleaming under the lights. It was love at first sight, I’m not gonna lie.
Wearing It Out
I’ve been wearing this Speedmaster almost every day since I got it. It’s been through a lot already – work, weekends, you name it. And it’s holding up great. I’ve bumped it a couple of times, but not a scratch. That sapphire crystal is no joke. Plus, it’s just so comfortable on the wrist. Sometimes I forget I’m even wearing it, which is saying something, considering its size.
Feeling Good About It
Some people say that these watches lose value the moment you walk out of the store. Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. But honestly, I don’t really care. I didn’t get this watch as an investment. I got it because I love it. It feels right on my wrist, and every time I look at it, I get this little thrill. It’s like owning a little piece of history, you know? Plus, being part of that whole Speedmaster community is pretty cool too. There’s a real culture around these watches, and it’s fun to be a part of it. The Speedmaster is known for holding its value, especially the vintage ones. People say it’s a good investment because some models can even go up in price over time.
So yeah, that’s my story with the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire. It’s been a great experience so far, and I’m looking forward to many more years with this beauty on my wrist. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it. Just make sure you get the one that feels right to you, whether it’s hesalite, sapphire, or whatever else they come up with next.
