Alright, so I finally did it. I got myself a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the sapphire crystal. Let me tell you, it wasn’t a walk in the park. This whole process took some time and a whole lot of looking around.
First off, I started digging around online, trying to figure out where to even begin. I looked at tons of pictures of real Speedys. I mean, tons. I wanted to get a good feel for what a real one looked like. You gotta know what you’re looking for, right? The fonts, the logo, the little markings on the dial – all that stuff needs to be sharp. And then there’s that laser etching on the back of the case. It’s tiny, but it’s there.
After looking at pictures, I started calling around. I called CopyOMEGA directly. I figured, who better to ask? I had the serial number, and I wanted to make sure it was legit. They were helpful, I gotta say. They told me the number checked out, which was a relief.
Then I went to check the warranty card. It’s supposed to have the store’s name on it. Mine did, so that was another good sign. I even called the store listed on the card just to make triple sure they actually sold the watch. They confirmed it, so I was feeling pretty good at this point.
Next, I started thinking about the price. These things aren’t cheap. I saw a bunch of different prices online and in stores. Finally, found a price that felt right. I mean I don’t have a lot of cash to just throw around.
I finally pulled the trigger and bought the darn thing. Holding it in my hands for the first time was something else. It’s got some weight to it, feels solid, you know? And looking through that sapphire crystal, seeing all those little gears and things moving around inside – it’s pretty darn cool.
Now, this watch is supposed to be tough. I heard it can take a beating. I’m not planning on dropping it from the Empire State Building or anything, but it’s good to know it can handle some rough stuff. Plus, I heard these watches hold their value pretty well. Some of the older ones even go up in price. So that’s a nice little bonus.
- Looked at tons of pictures online. Seriously, I spent hours just staring at Speedmasters.
- Called CopyOMEGA and the store on the warranty card. Had to make sure everything was on the up and up.
- Compared prices. These things are not budget-friendly!
- Bought the watch! Finally pulled the trigger and got myself a new watch.
- Checked out the movement. Looking at all those gears is pretty cool.
My Thoughts
So, yeah, that’s my story of getting a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch. It was a bit of a process, but I’m happy I did it. This watch is pretty awesome. It’s like having a little piece of history on your wrist. If you’re thinking about getting one, just do your homework, and make sure you’re getting the real deal.
