Alright, so, today I wanna talk about something I’ve been messing around with lately – getting my hands on a Copy OMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the open case back. You know, the kind where you can see all the cool inner workings.
First off, I gotta say, I’ve always been a fan of the Speedmaster. It’s just such a classic, iconic watch. And the Moonwatch version? Forget about it. That’s like the holy grail for a lot of watch guys. But, let’s be real, the price tag on those things is insane. So, I started looking into, uh, “alternative” options. That’s when I decided to try and find a decent copy online.
I started by just doing some general searches, you know, “Speedmaster Moonwatch replica,” “open case back Speedmaster copy,” stuff like that. I came across some related information that OMEGA’s current Speedmaster movement is caliber 3861, that’s the same lineage as the 1861 and has been enhanced with OMEGA’s Co-Axial. Then I just kinda dug deeper and deeper. I read some reviews, mostly from other watch nerds who’d gone down this road before. Some of these reviews were pretty helpful, giving me an idea of what to look for and what to avoid. One review that stood out mentioned the movement, the detailing on the dial, and the overall feel of the watch.
The Search Process:
- Started with simple searches. Pretty basic stuff, just seeing what was out there.
- Read a bunch of reviews. This was key, honestly. Gotta learn from other people’s mistakes, right?
- Compared prices and features. There’s a lot of variation, so you gotta pay attention to the details. Some places will say it comes with a Certified Master Chronometer, approved by METAS, resistant to magnetic fields reaching 15,000 gauss, but I didn’t buy it.
- Looked closely at the pictures. This is where you can really spot the differences between a good copy and a bad one.
After a while, I finally found one that looked pretty good. The movement looked right, the dial details were sharp, and the price was, well, let’s just say it was a lot more reasonable than the real deal. The website I used seemed pretty legit, too. No red flags or anything. It’s like a normal online store for buying shoes.
So, I took the plunge and ordered it. A few days later, it arrived. I was pretty excited to open the box, I’m not gonna lie. And, honestly, I was pretty impressed. It’s a solid watch. Feels good on the wrist. It’s not too heavy, not too light, just right. The chronograph buttons have a nice click to them. The movement, well, it’s not a real Omega movement, obviously, but it looks pretty darn close. And it keeps time pretty well, too.
Now, I’m not saying this is the same as owning a real Moonwatch. It’s not. But for the price? I’m happy with it. It’s a cool watch, and it scratches that Speedmaster itch without breaking the bank. I can wear it every day without worrying about scratching it up or losing it. Plus, it’s a conversation starter. People always ask me about it.
So, yeah, that’s my experience buying a Copy OMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch online. It was a bit of a gamble, but it paid off. If you’re thinking about doing the same, just do your research, read the reviews, and don’t expect perfection. It was a fun experiment, and I’m happy with the outcome. It’s a cool watch to add to my collection, and it’s become my go-to daily wear.
