Alright, let’s talk about this watch I’ve been after – the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one where you can see all the cool stuff happening inside through the back. This isn’t just any watch; it’s got history, it’s got style, and yeah, it’s a bit of a splurge, but man, was it worth it.
So, first things first, I had to actually find this thing. I hit up a few different stores, both the fancy official ones and some local shops. I wanted to see it in person, feel the weight, you know? Get the whole experience. I ended up finding it in this official Omega store after, I think, the third place I checked. They had it just sitting there, shining under those bright store lights.
- The Hunt Begins: I started my search online, just to get an idea of prices and where I might find it.
- Store Visits: Then I actually went out to stores. I wanted to see the watch in person before making any decisions.
- Found It: Finally found the watch at an official store. It was a bit pricier, but I figured it was worth it for the peace of mind.
Once I had it in my hands, it was game over. I mean, this watch is gorgeous. The detail on the movement, which you can see through the transparent case back, is just insane. It’s like a tiny city of gears and springs, all working together. I spent a good chunk of time just staring at it, winding it, and watching everything move.
Of course, I had to try it on. It felt great on my wrist – solid, but not too heavy. I could easily imagine wearing this thing every day. The salesperson, who was super helpful by the way, told me all about the watch’s history with space missions and all that jazz. I felt I must buy it and wear it every day.
- Trying It On: Felt great on the wrist. Just the right weight.
- Learning the History: Got a whole history lesson from the salesperson about the watch’s connection to space travel.
- Movement: Caliber 3861 is good, maybe from the same lineage as the 1861.
After much deliberation (and maybe a little bit of sweating over the price tag), I decided to go for it. It was a big purchase, no doubt, but I knew I’d regret it if I walked away. Plus, I had done my research. I knew about the different movements – this one has the Caliber 3861, which I guess is a big deal. It’s supposed to be super accurate and reliable.
Making It Mine
So, I bought the watch. They sized it for me right there in the store, and I walked out feeling like a million bucks. I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’m still in love. It’s not just a watch; it’s a conversation starter. People notice it, and I get to tell them all about it. It’s like wearing a piece of history on your wrist.
Yeah, it was a bit of a process, finding and buying this watch. But honestly, I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. It’s more than just a timepiece; it’s a reminder to treat myself to the finer things every once in a while. And that see-through back? Still gets me every time.
