So, I finally decided to get myself a decent watch. Not just any watch, but a real classic, you know? I’ve always been into space stuff, and the whole moon landing thing? Super cool. Naturally, the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch caught my eye. I mean, it’s the “Moonwatch,” right? It’s got that history.
But, man, those things are pricey! So, I started looking into alternatives, and that’s when I stumbled upon the world of replicas. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Replicas? Really?” But hear me out. After digging around online, I found this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, also known as the Speedmaster 3573.50. From what I could tell, it looked almost identical to the real deal.
This got me thinking about the whole Hesalite vs. Sapphire crystal debate. Some folks, especially the hardcore collectors, swear by the Hesalite because it’s supposedly more “authentic” to the original Moonwatch. But I’m not planning on going to the moon anytime soon, so I figured the Sapphire, being more scratch-resistant, might be the better choice for everyday wear.
I spent hours comparing pictures and reading reviews of the CopyOMEGA. Honestly, the more I looked, the more I was convinced. It had the same look, the same feel, and even a similar weight from the reviews. The details were spot on, down to the markings and the chronograph function.
My Checklist
Before I pulled the trigger, I made a little checklist for myself:
- Must be a Speedmaster Professional: This was non-negotiable. It had to have that classic Moonwatch design.
- Sapphire Crystal: For that extra durability.
- Good Movement: I wanted something that would keep accurate time, even if it wasn’t a genuine OMEGA movement.
- Solid Build Quality: It had to feel substantial on my wrist, not cheap and flimsy.
After confirming the CopyOMEGA ticked all these boxes, I finally went for it. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. When the watch arrived, it was like Christmas morning. Holding it in my hands, it felt amazing. It looked just like the pictures, and the quality was way better than I expected.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’m still over the moon (pun intended!). It keeps great time, looks fantastic, and I’ve even gotten a few compliments on it. People can’t believe it when I tell them it’s not the real thing. It’s definitely been a great experience. So, if you’re on the fence about a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire, I say go for it! You won’t regret it.
