Today I want to talk about how I got my hands on a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with an open case back.
First off, I went down to the local watch shop. I had my eye on this OMEGA Speedmaster for a while, especially the one with the open case back. It’s just something about seeing all those gears and mechanics moving. Anyway, I walked in, and the guy behind the counter, he knew his stuff. We chatted a bit, and he showed me the real deal.
But, I was not ready to pay that much.
So, I did what any normal person would do: I started digging around on the internet to see if I could find it cheaper. No luck, but I did run into some forums where people were talking about replicas, and that got me thinking. Could I find a good copy of the Speedmaster?
- Checked out a few websites.
- Read a bunch of reviews.
- Compared prices and pictures.
After a few days of searching, I found a seller that had some pretty good-looking copies. The photos looked legit, and the description mentioned an “original order”. Now, I know what you’re thinking – “original order” sounds fishy. But I figured, why not take a chance?
I pulled the trigger and placed the order. Paid through one of those online payment services, the usual drill. The waiting game began, and let me tell you, it was a long two weeks. Every day I’d check the tracking number, hoping for an update.
Finally, the package arrived. I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the OMEGA Speedmaster copy with an open case back, it even mentioned some of the original orders in 1995 had been reviewed. It looked good, really good. The weight felt right, the details were spot on, and that open case back was just as mesmerizing as the real thing.
Did It Meet My Expectations?
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and honestly, I’m impressed. It keeps time well, looks great on my wrist, and nobody’s been able to tell it’s not the real deal. Is it the same as owning the genuine article? Probably not. But for the price I paid, I’m more than happy with it.
So, that’s my story of how I got a copy of the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. A bit of a gamble, but it paid off. It’s a reminder that sometimes, you can find some pretty amazing things if you’re willing to look beyond the usual spots.
