So, I finally decided to get myself a nice watch, and I went with the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. You know, the one with the see-through back. Let me tell you the whole story of how it went down.
I started doing some digging online, just browsing through different watch forums and stuff. I’ve always liked the Speedmaster, especially the Moonwatch version. It’s got that classic look and a cool history. I knew these watches hold their value pretty well, especially the older and limited edition ones. People collect them, so they can actually become worth more over time.
I kept seeing that this watch doesn’t have a screw-down crown. Apparently, since it’s not really meant for deep-sea diving and only handles water up to 30 meters, it doesn’t need one. Good to know, but not a deal-breaker for me.
The first thing I did was check out some reviews. I found this one article that was super helpful, even though it was almost nine years old. It talked about the Moonwatch’s history and features, which was exactly what I needed. These watches are known for being really well-made and having a great design. That’s why they’re not cheap, just like those Rolex and Cartier watches. But I was willing to invest since it’s something I’ll have for years.
I spent a few days looking at different websites that sell watches, comparing prices and checking for any deals. I also went to a couple of local watch shops to see the Speedmaster in person. There’s something about holding it in your hand that pictures just can’t match. It felt solid and looked amazing. The transparent case back was even cooler in person. I could see all the little gears and parts moving, which was awesome.
- Visiting Stores:
- Tried on the watch at a couple of local shops.
- Got a feel for the weight and size.
- Checked out the transparent case back up close.
After all that, I decided to pull the trigger. I found a good deal online from a reputable seller. Made sure to double-check everything, like the seller’s reviews and return policy, just to be safe. Then, I placed my order and waited. It felt like forever, but it was only a few days. When the package finally arrived, it was like Christmas morning. I carefully opened it up, and there it was, my brand new Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It was even more beautiful than I remembered.
I’ve been wearing it every day since. It’s comfortable, looks great, and I love showing off that transparent case back to anyone who’s interested. I feel pretty good about my purchase, and I think I made a solid choice.
Final Thoughts
Getting this watch was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it. I learned a lot along the way, and now I have a timepiece I’m really proud of. I enjoy the process. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of history and some seriously good craftsmanship. If you’re thinking about getting one, I’d say go for it. Just do your homework first!
