So, I finally got my hands on that CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, you know, the one with the open case back. I’ve been eyeing this baby for a while now, and let me tell you, it was quite the adventure getting it.
First off, I started doing some digging online. I mean, you can’t just walk into any store and expect to find one of these, especially the ones with a see-through back. So, I browsed a bunch of forums and read a ton of articles. Some folks were saying it’s a “good investment,” whatever that means. I just wanted the watch. I found out these are also called Moonwatches. I think because they went to the moon.
Then, I found out that if you really want to see the guts of the watch, you gotta get one with that open back. It’s just cooler that way, right? All those little gears and springs working together, it’s like a tiny city in there. So, the hunt was on for a Speedmaster Professional, with an open back. Some called them transparent.
- Scouring the Web: I spent hours, no, days, looking online. There was a lot to read about the watch online. Most of the information was way over my head.
- Real or Fake? That was a big worry. There are so many fakes out there, and I didn’t want to get ripped off. People online said to check the logo and fonts, to make sure they’re all crisp and clear. I looked at a ton of pictures of real ones to make sure I knew what I was looking for.
- Serial Numbers and Stuff: I learned that these watches have serial numbers on the back. That’s supposed to help prove it’s real. Apparently, they are 7 or 8 digits long.
I even tried looking at some online shops, but I was nervous about buying something so expensive without seeing it in person. Some sites had them for cheap, but I got worried it might be a fake. I mean, who sells these things for a steal, right?
Finally, I decided to hit up the official store. It was a bit of a drive, but I figured it was worth it to be sure I was getting the real deal. And guess what? They had it! The CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the open case back. It was even more beautiful in person. I saw all the little parts working inside.
The people at the store were super helpful. They showed me how to wind it and set the time. They even told me a bit about the history of the watch, how it’s called a “Moonwatch” because it went to the moon. I didn’t care much for history. I just loved how it looked.
So, there you have it. That’s the story of how I got my CopyOMEGA Speedmaster. It was a journey, but totally worth it. Now, I’ve got this awesome watch on my wrist, and I can stare at its beautiful, mechanical heart whenever I want.
