Okay, so, I’ve been obsessed with watches lately, especially the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. You know, the one they call the “Moonwatch” because it went to the moon? Yeah, that one. But, let’s be real, the price tag on those things is, uh, a bit much. So, I started looking into, shall we say, “alternatives.” And that’s how I stumbled into the world of CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches.
First, I spent hours, maybe days, scrolling through forums and websites. I wanted to find a copy that was as close to the real deal as possible. And, you know, not some cheap knock-off that would fall apart after a week. I made a list of must-haves: it had to be a Speedmaster Professional, with that classic Moonwatch look, but I wanted the sapphire crystal version with the see-through case back. I love seeing the movement inside; it’s like a tiny city in there.
I finally found a few sellers that looked promising, and I started bombarding them with questions. What’s the movement like? Is the sapphire crystal actually sapphire? How’s the weight and feel? It took some digging, and let me tell you, some of the responses were… interesting. It felt like I was negotiating some kind of top-secret deal.
After a lot of back-and-forth, I finally settled on a seller. The price was reasonable, not suspiciously cheap, but definitely not OMEGA prices. They sent me tons of pictures, even a video of the watch in action. It looked pretty darn good, so I took a deep breath and placed the order.
The waiting was the hardest part! Every day I was checking the tracking, wondering if it would ever arrive. Then, finally, the package showed up! I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning.
And there it was. My CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, with the sapphire crystal and transparent case back. Honestly, I was surprised. It looked and felt really good. The weight was substantial, the details were sharp, and the movement through the case back was mesmerizing.
Here’s what I noticed after wearing it for a few weeks:
- The Look: It really does look like the real thing. I’ve even had a few people compliment me on it, thinking it was a genuine OMEGA.
- The Feel: It feels solid and well-made. The bracelet is comfortable, and the chronograph buttons have a nice, firm click.
- The Movement: It’s not an OMEGA movement, of course, but it’s a decent automatic movement that keeps good time.
- The Sapphire: It looks and feels like real sapphire, it’s not scratched yet.
Of course, it’s not a real OMEGA. And some serious watch nerds might be able to spot the differences. But for me, it’s a great way to enjoy the look and feel of a Moonwatch without breaking the bank. I’m really happy with my purchase, and it’s become my go-to watch for everyday wear. It’s a conversation starter, for sure, and it lets me enjoy a little piece of that “Moonwatch” history, even if it’s just a copy.
Would I buy it again? Probably. It’s a fun watch, and it’s scratched that Speedmaster itch for now. If you’re thinking about getting one, do your research, find a reputable seller, and don’t expect perfection. But if you go in with realistic expectations, you might be pleasantly surprised, just like I was!
