Okay, so I’ve always been fascinated by the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It’s just such a classic, iconic piece, you know? And I finally decided to go for it – specifically, the one with the sapphire crystal and that new Caliber 3861 movement. Let me tell you about the whole process.
First, I did what any reasonable person does these days – I hopped online. I checked out a few websites. There is a website called Chrono24 in Japan, and I found it sells Omega Speedmaster Professional watches for men and women, even some old vintage ones. Amazon Japan, too. Just browsing around, comparing prices, you know, the usual deal. Finally, I decided I wanted the “Sapphire Sandwich” version. It just looked so clean, and I liked the idea of being able to see that beautiful movement through the case back.
Next, I figured I should check out some actual stores. Nothing beats seeing a watch in person, right? So, I hit up a few specialty stores around town. Walked in, talked to the staff, tried a few on. They all looked great, but they were all brand new, and honestly, a bit out of my price range at the moment. But then, I stumbled upon this one store that had a pre-owned section. And there it was, a used CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the sapphire crystal, in pretty good condition.
- Looked at the watch closely.
- Checked for any major scratches or dings.
- Asked the salesperson about its history.
- Negotiated the price a bit.
We haggled for a while, and eventually, we settled on a price I was happy with. The guy at the counter even threw in a free strap change, which was a nice touch. So, I pulled the trigger and bought it. This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, with that see-through back. Ultimately.
It was a bit of an adventure, but totally worth it. Now I’ve got this beauty on my wrist, and I can’t stop staring at it. I am very happy for it.
