So, I’ve been eyeing this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch thing for a while now. It’s one of those watches everyone talks about, especially the ones into space and stuff. I finally decided to go for it, the one with the see-through back, you know? They call it the “transparent case back.”
First off, I started digging around online, trying to figure out where to even get one of these. Forums, watch blogs, you name it. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t gonna get ripped off, and there are a bunch of fakes out there. I was reading how this watch is supposed to hold its value pretty well, especially the older ones. Some folks online were saying this Thomas Preik guy makes good sapphire case backs, might be worth looking into if I ever wanted to swap it out, I guess. That is cool, but I was more interested in the real deal.
Finding the Watch
I ended up going to the official store, figured that was the safest bet. Walking in there, I felt a bit out of my league, to be honest. All those shiny watches, and everyone looking so serious. But hey, I had my eyes on the prize.
I spotted it in one of the cases. The Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It looked even better in person. I asked to see it, and the guy helping me, he was all about the history of the watch. Moon landings, astronauts, all that jazz. It was cool, I guess, but I just wanted to see how it looked on my wrist.
Checking it Out
It’s got these three little dials on the face, they call them sub dials. Not really sure what they all do, but they look neat. And the numbers around the edge, I guess they’re for timing stuff, like a stopwatch or something. I always saw them on real Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches. I guess I can time my coffee now. It’s also supposed to be super tough, this watch. Built to handle some rough conditions, or so they say.
But the best part, for me, was the back. You can see all the tiny gears and springs moving around in there. It’s like a little city of metal working away. I could just stare at it for hours. That was the main reason I wanted this model. I mean, who needs a solid back when you can see all the cool stuff inside?
Buying the Watch
After trying it on and playing around with the buttons a bit, I decided to go for it. It wasn’t cheap, that’s for sure. But I figured, it’s an investment, right? People say these things hold their value, even go up sometimes. Maybe one day, it’ll be worth more, who knows?
So, I went through with it, paid the money, and walked out of there with my new CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It felt pretty good, I gotta say. Like I was part of some club or something. I get what they mean by it being a good investment piece, it really feels like one.
- Keeps time, obviously.
- Stopwatch thing with the little dials.
- See-through back to watch the gears.
- Supposed to be tough as nails.
- Might be worth more someday.
Now, I’m wearing it pretty much every day. It’s a good conversation starter, that’s for sure. People notice it, and they always ask about the back. I just tell them, “Yeah, it’s a Moonwatch. You can see the guts.”
