Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch for a while now, and I finally pulled the trigger. I’m talking about the one with the sapphire crystal and the Caliber 3861 movement. It’s a beauty, let me tell you.
I did a ton of research before buying. You know, reading articles, watching those unboxing videos on the internet – the whole nine yards. I even dug up some quotes, like that one from Arthur C. Clarke about “sooner or later.” It just felt right, you know? This watch is a classic, and it was my time. Some guys compared it to the Porsche 911. I don’t know about cars, but I get what they mean – timeless design, upgraded for today.
First off, I went to a few stores and tried on a bunch of different watches. It’s important, you gotta see how it feels on your wrist, right? Then I started hunting for the best price. I found a decent deal from a seller. We chatted a bit, made sure everything was legit, and then I wired the money.
Waiting for it to arrive was torture! I tracked that package like a hawk. Finally, the day came. The box arrived, and I ripped into it like a kid on Christmas morning.
Unboxing time! It came in this big, fancy box. Inside, nestled in foam, was the watch. Man, it looked even better in person. The sapphire crystal is crystal clear, and you can see all the details of the movement through the back. It’s pretty wild.
I carefully took it out, wound it up, and put it on. The bracelet is super comfortable. This thing is solid, but not too heavy. I spent the next hour just staring at it, turning it over in my hands, and taking a million pictures.
Here’s what I did next:
- Set the time: This was pretty straightforward. Pulled out the crown, spun the hands, and pushed it back in. Boom, done.
- Wore it around: I just had to show it off, you know? Wore it to the grocery store, to the coffee shop, everywhere. Felt like a million bucks.
- Took more pictures: Seriously, I couldn’t stop. Different angles, different lighting. My phone’s camera roll is full of this watch now.
- Showed it off to my buddies: They were impressed. One of them even said he might get one too. Mission accomplished.
I’ve had it for a few weeks now, and I’m still loving it. It keeps great time, looks amazing, and just feels good to wear. They retired the old 1861 movement and replaced it with this new 3861. A good upgrade, I’d say. It’s like they took something already awesome and made it even better. I’m happy with my purchase, to say the least.
If you’re thinking about getting a Speedmaster, do it. You won’t regret it. Just make sure you do your research, find a good deal, and get ready to be obsessed.
