So, I finally did it. I got myself a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the sapphire crystal. This whole thing started a while back. I’ve always liked watches, but not like a hardcore collector or anything. Just appreciated a good-looking timepiece, you know?
I remember seeing this specific CopyOMEGA model somewhere online, and I was like, “Damn, that’s sharp.” It’s the classic Moonwatch, the one everyone thinks of when they hear “Speedmaster.” It just had this… vibe. Classic, but still modern. I can’t really put my finger on it.
First off, I started looking around. I mean, where do you even buy one of these? I hit up a few different places, just to get a feel for the market. It was all online. A lot of reading. A lot of window shopping, you could say. You find a lot of fakes in my experience. Looking inside the watch to verify is the move I think.
Then came the actual purchase. I found a place that seemed legit. Good reviews, all that. It wasn’t cheap, obviously. But I figured, I work hard, I deserve a nice watch, right? So I pulled the trigger. Place the order, filled out all the info, and hit that “confirm” button. Boom. Done.
Waiting for it to arrive was tough. I was checking the tracking like every five minutes. It’s like being a kid waiting for Christmas. Finally, the day came. There’s this box on my doorstep. I bring it inside, grab a knife, and carefully open it up.
And there it was. Man, it looked even better in person. The way the light hits that sapphire crystal… it’s something else. I strapped it on my wrist. Felt good. Not too heavy, not too light. Just right. My wrists are not small so I was worried about the fit a little bit. But it was all good.
Here’s what I’ve noticed:
- The look: It’s a stunner. Seriously. Pictures don’t do it justice.
- The feel: Like I said, it feels great on the wrist. Comfortable for all-day wear.
- The accuracy: Okay, it’s not perfect. I mean, it’s a mechanical watch, so it gains or loses a few seconds a day. Not really a big deal for my daily life. I’m not timing anything super critical or something.
- The winding: I wanted the classic, manually-wound Moonwatch. It’s kind of cool having to wind it up every day. It’s like a little ritual.
So, was it worth it?
Honestly? Yeah. I’m happy with it. It’s a beautiful watch, it’s got history, and it makes me feel good wearing it. What else can you ask for? This whole experience, from the first time I saw it online to actually having it on my wrist, it’s been pretty cool. It’s just a really good-looking watch. Feels good, looks good. That’s all I wanted, really.
