Okay, so here’s the deal with the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the see-through back. I’ve been eyeing this beauty for a while now, and I finally pulled the trigger. Here’s how it all went down.
First off, I spent weeks, maybe even months, just drooling over pictures online. I mean, this watch is a legend, right? It’s the “Moonwatch”! But I really wanted the version where you can see all the guts inside, the movement doing its thing. That transparent case back was a must-have for me.
So, I started digging around, reading every review and forum post I could find. Learned a bunch of stuff, like how this model holds its value pretty well, especially the older ones or limited editions. People are crazy about them! Also found out it’s water-resistant up to 50 meters, which is good enough for me – I’m not a diver or anything, and don’t plan to be. And yeah, there’s a smaller version called the Speedmaster Reduced, but I wanted the real deal, the 39mm classic that has this five-year warranty.
Next, I hit up a few authorized dealers. I wanted to see it in person, feel the weight of it on my wrist. Tried it on, and it was love at first sight. The way the light hits the dial, the feel of the bracelet, the whole package just screamed quality. I also checked out some of those “gray market” sellers online, but honestly, I wasn’t comfortable with that. I wanted the warranty and the peace of mind that comes with buying from an authorized place.
Finally, after a lot of back and forth, I made the decision. I went back to the dealer, negotiated a little bit (you gotta try, right?), and walked out with the Moonwatch on my wrist. It felt amazing!
Since then, I’ve been wearing it almost every day. It’s such a cool feeling to look down and see all those tiny gears and springs working together. And you know what? It gets noticed. People ask me about it all the time. It’s a conversation starter for sure.
So, that’s my story of getting the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the transparent case back. It was a journey, but totally worth it. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it! You won’t regret it.
- Wearing it almost every day.
