Okay, so, I’ve been into watches for a while now, and I finally decided to pull the trigger on a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. You know, the one with the open case back? Yeah, that one. Let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey.
First off, I started doing some serious digging online. I mean, I was all over the place, checking out forums, reading reviews, the whole nine yards. I knew I wanted the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, and I was pretty set on the Sapphire version. Why? Well, I just like the idea of a sapphire crystal—seems tougher, scratch-resistant, you know? And the open case back? Come on, being able to see the movement like that is just cool.
After a ton of research, I decided to hit up the Official Flagship Store. Figured that was the safest bet to make sure I was getting the real deal. No way was I risking it with some shady online dealer, especially for a watch like this. It’s not exactly pocket change, you feel me? Plus, I wanted that whole boutique experience, trying it on, getting a feel for it, the works.
Walking into the store, I was like a kid in a candy shop. So many shiny watches! But I had my eyes on the prize. I told the salesperson what I was looking for, and they brought out the beauty. They let me try it on, and man, it felt great on the wrist. It was not just a watch, it was like a piece of history. The salesperson was super knowledgeable, telling me all about the history of the Moonwatch, how it went to the moon and all that. The 42mm size is perfect. It looked solid and felt good, too. This specific one was made between 1964 and 1968. I guess this was the same kind that Neil Armstrong wore when he walked on the moon. How cool is that?
Here’s the breakdown of my shopping experience:
- Research: Spent hours online, forums, reviews, you name it.
- Decision: Sapphire version with the open case back was the way to go.
- Purchase: Went to the Official Flagship Store to avoid any fakes.
- Experience: Tried it on, got the whole history lesson, loved it.
- Investment: It’s a Speedmaster, so I know it’ll hold its value.
Honestly, the whole process was pretty smooth. I did my homework, knew what I wanted, and went to the right place to get it. And let me tell you, this watch is worth every penny. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s like wearing a piece of history on your wrist. Plus, I heard it might even be worth more money later on. Can’t beat that, right?
Would I recommend it?
So, if you’re thinking about getting a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, especially with that open case back, I say go for it. Just make sure you do your research and get it from a reputable place. Trust me, you won’t regret it. This watch is a classic for a reason.
