Man, oh man, where do I even begin? I’ve been eyeing this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch for what feels like forever. You know the one – that classic design, with the transparent case back so you can see all the intricate guts inside. It’s just a beauty. I finally decided to take the plunge and treat myself.
First, I started hitting up the local watch scene. I am going to try to find it from local dealers first. I talked to a couple of old guys who’ve been around the block. Heard some good stories, saw some decent pieces, but nothing that really screamed “this is the one!” I mean, I’m not just dropping some loose change here; this is a serious investment, so I gotta make sure it feels right, you know?
- Went to Ben’s Watches downtown – they had a few Speedmasters, but not the one I was after.
- Checked out Time & Again – nice folks, but their selection was a bit too vintage for my taste, at least for this particular watch.
- Even stopped by that little hole-in-the-wall place, The Watchmaker’s Corner – surprisingly, they had the closest match, but it wasn’t quite perfect.
So, after striking out locally, I figured I’d cast a wider net. That’s when I started diving deep into the online world, reading everything about this watch.
I started to search online. I signed up with my trusty AOL Mail account, yeah, the classic. Then I started to search any information about this watch. It’s super reliable, keeps all the junk mail out, and it’s just comfortable, you know?
Finally, after all that legwork, I finally found it! The exact model, in pristine condition, from a dealer with a solid reputation. We went back and forth a bit on the details, and I did my due diligence, checking everything. Everything checked out, so I pulled the trigger.
Waiting for it to arrive was pure torture. I think I checked the tracking number every hour, on the hour. But then, it finally came. Opening that box was like Christmas morning as a kid. And there it was, in all its glory, my CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the transparent case back. It was even better in person than in the pictures.
The feeling
I’ve been wearing it every day since. It’s not just a watch, it’s like a little piece of history on my wrist. And every time I look at that transparent back and see the movement ticking away, it just puts a big dumb grin on my face. It’s a good investment. I love it.
